Recently there are few cases that the baby being left with the baby sitter, and parent went MIA(missing in action). The baby sitter out of no choice have to go to MCA look for Micheal Choong to help them find the baby’s parent.
May be the baby not in their “plan”, so when he was born the parent don’t know what to do with him, so just sent to the baby sitter, and they carry on their everyday life. Usually the first glance on those news, immediately we will wander how can a parent leave their baby to someone not related, and went missing never come and visit the baby? aren’t they miss the baby? if they don’t want baby why don’t they becareful? since the baby was born, they have to take the resposibility.
there was a few after the news came out on the press, the parent came out claim back their baby, and usually those parents being interview why they left the baby behide, they answer mostly “kena cari makan” 讨生活.
But there was also a few cases the parent never turns out, so the baby sitter get help from some donors continue taking care of the baby and hope the parent turns out one day.
One day mother-in-law is reading newspaper, there was a case the parent came back for the baby, actually already toddler, they left the baby to the baby sitter for about 2 years plus, and baby sitter and toddler so attach with each other, since the parent is missing, so the baby sitter thought may be she can adopt him. Whose know when the news came out, the parent immediately came out and want to claim back the toddler. On the handling day the toddler cling on the baby sitter don’t want to let go, toddler in tears so as the baby sitter, the only person not in tears is the parent.
MIL very up set to see news like this, to someone who love to watch Hong Kong drama series, this is simply a real life drama for her.
I was feeding my girls then, MIL start plotting why the parent left the baby to baby sitter for so long:”This people is like that lor, only care about themselve, taking care baby so difficult, and need to spend so much money, so dump him to baby sitter then they went missing, let other poeple take care of him, paid everything for him, raise until fat-fat-white-white 肥肥白白 baru come back and claim him. Or missing forever, until the baby sitter want to adopt the toddler lah, wah! red-eye 眼红 lor, quickily come back and said the baby is her flesh and blood lar, she gave birth to him gave him life lar, the suranme can never change to someone else’s lar…tsk tsk tsk…wander all this years where was the parent? never visit, never send money, now out of no way pop out and claim the toddler, cheh! my dogs better than that parent…”
When there is a topic, my MIL sure can nag wan.
But aren’t this true? there are some people will behave like this. Eventhough in school, in company, in any association or body that need group effort. Is like someone built a ship to cross the sea, everybody paddling so hard through the raging sea, but out of sudden the captain thought he can’t handle it, so took off with the life boat. Out of no choice someone else took over the helm, then everybody paddling even more hander to smooth sailing, when one day the sea calm down, then the captain also pop out from no way to claim his ship back, not even a thanks.
In the school I experienced this, so as in the college, the same old trick still being use until now a day, shall I call it a “classic acting skill”?
wah, first time i hear case like tis *shake head* vvv sad and oso disgusted at the parents.
