Have you ever encountered the following???
It was the school holidays & my 9 years old niece (Fanny) wanted me to bring her out. So I asked her where do you want to go & she said Sentosa. So I said fine, better go & ask your mummy first. Approval was given.
On that day, I went to her house in the morning to bring her there. We ate lunch at Vivo & she said she had to call her mother to inform her where she is now. I thought that was reasonable, so I called on her behalf. Her mother did not answer the phone. Instead it was her older sister (17 years old) who answered. So I told her that we were now at Vivo water playground & will be proceeding to Sentosa shortly. When she heard that, immediately she got alarmed & asked me to pass the phone to Fanny. She asked Fanny if the water was deep or not & Fanny replied no, the deepest water reaches only below her knee.
When we were about to enter Underwater World, I received a sms from her sister again asking where we were. So I said we are going into Underwater World soon.
Then when we were at a monorail station waiting for the tram to come, again, she called me & asked where were we. So I said we are waiting for the tram at the monorail station.
When we were on the way home, at Harbourfront MRT to be exact, she called me again & asked where were we. This time, I got really pissed off & asked her "shen me shi?" (what's up)? before passing the phone to Fanny. Actually, I had wanted to say "@#$^*!!!" but I had to control myself.
I believed all these tracking were done at her mother's instruction. I mean, come on, why do you not trust a 27 years old adult??? It is not as if the person bringing your daughter out is 7 years old! And please, please, please, YOU have been to the waterpark at Vivo before & YOU know how shallow the water there is since YOU have seen it before. So why were you so alarmed when I said Fanny was playing in the water??? Even if you have never been there before, should not you trust an adult who is already 27 to know whether the waterpark is safe for Fanny or not??? And for goodness' sake, STOP sms-ing me/calling me every now & then to spot check on our wherabouts!!! If you don't trust me, then please don't let me bring Fanny out!!! And in the first place, dont even allow her to ask me to bring her out! (Bearing in mind that I was not the one who suggested the outing). So sickening!!! Since then, I have never said anything about bringing Fanny out during the holidays unless she herself specifically said so. Otherwise, I dont't see why I should subject myself to all that nonsense!
Ok, vent over.
