“The Useless Child” PART I

Remember how our parents brought us up. Especially when they were not highly educated. They didn’t land a good job. When they started to have us, their lives were becoming harder. Budget was tight. They barely spent for themselves. They dedicated their lives to their children.

They sent us to school with a big hope that ONE DAY we gonna have a life nothing like the life they have. They did everything that their parents didn’t manage to do for them, so that we won’t end up in hardship like them. So that we don’t have to cry while we alone, thinking how we gonna pay the school fees and books that our kids ask for, just like they did. It’s not easy to bring up kids. If it’s easy, TRUST ME nobody wants to dump their babies. Look at how many of the babies got dumped. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF OUR MOMS DID THAT TO US BEFORE????

My point here is don’t think that every parents will love and care for their children. NO. Not only that they don’t necessarily love you, they don’t even necessary want you with them to begin with. Judging from what happens around us, you know that some parents may not even want you ALIVE!!! So look at yourself now and what kind of parents you have!! Now that you are a grown up, with good education, with people around admiring you for your capabilities and your charms – Look at WHO you are now! If our parents decided not to have us, I’m sorry to say that you’d be lucky if you are still alive at your age now. Now do examine what are you doing in your life that has your parents’ name in it?

After what their parents did, now that the parents are getting older, they thought they could slow down and now it’s time for their children to follow the course of their own lives. Now what some Useless Child does is this. Here’s one case of Useless Child. A useless child would NOT let their parents rest. After how hard they brought him up, now when he’s big, he starts lose direction of his life because of his own greed. He got too tired of working with the salary of RM1500 thinking that it couldn’t make him rich. He’s too tired of waking up in the morning and keep getting call asking for his whereabouts. He’s sick of taking orders and he’s sick of feeling tired. Finally he found himself a girlfriend who is high in taste who was driving BMW and wearing a RM3k handbag, he suddenly felt so embarrassed with himself. To overcome this, he started doing extra contractor job under another licensed big contractor who was willing to pass some work for him to handle. He thought that he could build a new career from there, he quit his job at the property company that gave him RM1500 per month. It was the starting point where he started to suck his parents’ blood. He said he didn’t have enough capital to run the small project. Logically, he was just a sub-contractor he should convey his problem to the main contractor and not the parents. Now he asked the parents to “lend” him some money with the promise that he would NOT spend the money. He only wanted the money in his account so he could be eligible to get a license. What he did was not that. He actually used the money to do the works and since he didn’t have a monthly salary now, also to high his own ego so that he could match his gf status. With all the juggled things in mind, he found of the money of RM60k was still not enough to complete the job and it was only done halfway. The main contractor refused to pay him anything. The few months work was in vain. Luckily the gf was super happy because the guy spent so much on her. With the engagement that was extraordinary expensive than normal, he won the gf’s heart as well as her family and also the relatives of the gf thinking that the girl got herself the real prince charming. Handsome, Rich and Generous. Now what’s with the parents?

Their smiles were built on the parents’ sweat. He LIED to them about the money. The money that he used to buy other people’s heart came from his parents saving accounts. Yes, money from their tight spending since the child was small. What kind of punishment these parents deserve to be treated that way? He kept telling people that he’s a contractor but the fact was the only project he was assigned to do was A FAILURE and nobody knew about it. He was using his “talent” to mislead everyone about his situations. He made them believe that he has so much money to spend for the gf when the money was all his parents’!! Now that his other siblings smelled something fishy about their brother’s bad steps, they started to fight him and argued with him. The parents were in big heartache seeing their kids argued over money. The other siblings only wanted to stand for their parents’ right but the parents didn’t want to see them argue like that. It make them so sad as if it was all about money.

He kept doing it. He said he had another big project. The money of that project expected to be cashed in before his planned wedding. That was what he told his parents. The wedding was getting nearer but no money yet. They parents believed that he was waiting for some RM60K in his account so they took out their money first since that it might be too late to prepare things if they waited. The parents ended up sponsoring the whole wedding without a penny from their son because he was just rich of sweet lies and not a single penny. Even at this point, he had no guilt or feeling of remorse or anything. He even got mad at the parents on his wedding day because all the money gifts from friends and relatives given to the parents and not him. He thought that it was his wedding, he should get all the money. He even complained about the shortcomings of the wedding event because he thought he was the person to be celebrated, it’s other people who should take care of the event. My oh My!

To be continued in Part II...
