Share some of your angpow money, man!

There are times I often wonder what will become of me when I grow old?

Que sera sera, whatever will be will be...

I gave up earning my own keep to bring up the kids full time. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it after all. What happens when I don't have any income? What happens when my hubs leave me for someone else? *gasp*

I am becoming more and more dependent indeed. Scary!

Can I rely on the kids when they become independent? The other day, I tried coaxing them to share 3 bucks from their angpow money also damn tough. Didi had a whopping 753 bucks while meimei had 604! They are so lucky! And I can't even get 3 bucks each from them??!! What the... "sang jei la, sang jei la...??"

In the end, didi agreed to give away 3 bucks, for me and hubs to share. After I objected, he finally gave me 2 while he took another RM1 from his piggybank to give to his papa making it RM2 as well. Ain't he fair? And I had thought I would have higher privilege than hubs?!

Meimei cried as she didn't want to split with her angpow money and in the end, rather fork out RM10 from her piggybank to give me! I ask her why RM10 when I wanted only RM3, she said she had no 1 dollar notes in the piggy. Then after probing deeper, yun-loi, she doesn't want to part with the new crisp dollar angpow notes. wtf!

After that, hubs complained to didi that meimei gave me 10 bucks, and what did he do? He went to the piggy to take another 10 dollar note to give his dad. *BIG QUESTION MARK* what is this???

He said I have 10 bucks from meimei so it's only fair that papa has 10 too.

So, from this exercise, do you think these 2 brats are reliable when they are working adults while we, the frail, lazy, poor old parents are hungry and need money to go eat wanton mee?
