Last night, after I sent a text message to the girl to call us at her convenience, she delayed sending a text message to me a few hours later and said in the body of the text that she would call us in the afternoon. A few minutes ago, she called us in the evening. Maw was sleeping after getting tired from walking around the mall. And I told the girl that Maw didn’t want to speak.
I couldn’t understand the muffling sounds she made with her rapid speech of broken English even through the boosted feature of this wireless phone was turned up along with the volume set to the highest setting of number five. I barely made out excuses after excuses of her commitment to herself and her family and declining to “hang around” with the boy as he requested.
I told her that it is too bad that she can’t match his passions in life. Then I got fed up with her nonsense and tested her to see if she would come over (last minute) to take a look at the text messages between the boy and me via my cellphone and how it would better to converse with Maw IN PERSON and not cope out via the phone. But she refused, not once, not twice but thrice. That’s not a good move. She is not a good “in-law”. She is defiant like the boy and they can die together for all we care.
As per conversations with others “Asians”: in-laws avoid the “other side” and keep to their “own kind”. As a result, she doesn’t deserve to be near us, who put up patiently. The boy and the girl should never come over to the house and divorce ASAP. She is no good for the boy. We don’t want any children from these two. They expect us to adjust OUR SCHEDULES to theirs after three years of failures. She had called from the house, which is only two minutes away. And yet by her own actions, the judgement is made. It goes to show that she doesn’t care.
