Rude neighbours

Well, this rude neighbours things happened quite some time ago and I didn't have the intention to write it. However, something happened today and pissed me off so I decided to share it. Today, when Yuxin came back from school and walked pass this neighbour door, she said "Uncle bye bye" and the Uncle has no response. Then again around 12 noon time, this Uncle's daughter was about to go to school and again Yuxin waved bye bye to 'Jie Jie' a few times and also get nothing, no response. This really makes me angry.

This is a long story. In the beginning of this year, this little girl (our neighbour) started her Primary One. Whenever Yuxin saw 'jie jie' going school, she will waved and said bye bye. After sometime, this little girl starts to come to our house. At first, she just came to door step and said bye bye. After that, she requested to come in play for a while. And then later, she came over whenever she liked. Then the problems started.

Everyday Yuxin came home after 11 am and little girl will came over when Yuxin came home the very first minute and requested to come in. She will called at the door for Yuxin to come out. OH DEAR!!! I need to change and feed Yuxin and do other stuffs. The very moment Yuxin heard 'jie jie' she don't want to change or eat. Then worse still, on weekend little girl came over and played with no restriction on what time to go home. FAINTED!!!

There was a Saturday afternoon, when we need to let Yuxin sleep and asked her to play alone in the living room, she don't want and make noise in the room so Yuxin cannot sleep. Then 2nd time, we insisted not letting her go into the room and let Yuxin sleep. The little girl make noises and show us faces. The little girl's parents and grandma never came and look for her and she wanted to stay here for many hours, even we asked her to go home she don't want. We don't mind the little girl came over and played but please be well behaved and also look at the timing.

Do you feel this is terrible? Wait till you hear this... One day, when I was going to send Yuxin to school, the little girl's father came out and asked me to help on his girl's homework. Actually, the way he asked for help was not very polite. Of course, I am willingly to teach the father. Then few days later, the father came out to asked on homework again when we were going out and we helped to teach how to do the homework. Then BIG PROBLEM came!

Ever since then, the little girl came over and asked me to teach her homework almost everyday. So I invited her into our house and teach her. Then, when I teach her, I found out that she was not listening, not wanting to learn from me but just want me to give her an answer. Furthermore, I not only have to teach one or two pages but is almost all her homework and even tuition homework!!! She brought all her Maths and English homework and asking for an answer! I am very furious. Everytime I teach her, she show me faces and never listen and just sit there wait for my answer. Sometimes I asked her how come you didn't learn from school or tuition and she gave excuses that school and tuition never teach. Worse still, she never called me Auntie or asked in a polite way to teach her homeworks and also after finished teaching she didn't even said thank you or bye bye!!!

What makes me more frustrated was Yuxin was curious and wanting to write and draw on the little girl's homework and I need to handle Yuxin and keep her away in order to teach. This is very difficult! Sometimes Yuxin cried and I felt bad. I was unable to keep Yuxin away even though I offered Yuxin other papers and pencils.

Later, we had no choice but to close our door when I'm not free. (Usually, Yuxin's grandma will open the front door to let the house more airy) However, at night, the little girl still came over when the door was opened again. Although, the little girl has attitute problem I still teach her and for Yuxin, she will played with her daddy or her uncle. However, teaching her really make me go crazy.

Then June school holiday came! One day, as usual, I came back with Yuxin from school. (Yuxin still went school at that time) Then when we just started to have our lunch and for me to feed Yuxin, this little girl came. I told her to come back later because we were just having lunch. So only after about 15 minutes, she came back again and asked at the door "Have you finished?" Oh God! I need at least 30-45 mins to feed Yuxin and then I have to eat on my own. So I told the little girl to go back and come back later. After Yuxin's grandma finished her lunch, she went to close the door. She didn't want the girl to disturb us when we were eating. After I finished my lunch, I opened the door again. However, since then, the little girl never come to ask homework. No more...

It is after this day, the little girl's father never smile to us when we meet each other on the corridor. At first, me and Yuxin's daddy still smile to him and wonder why he no longer smile to us like before. Then after thinking about it, I guessed it's because the very last closed door incident. Why like that, huh? I helped to teach your daughter so you smile to us and now your daughter no longer came for homeworks so you don't want to smile to us. Hello man, I teach your daughter is on good-will and I don't owe you anything.

Why there is such a neighbour? The father and daughter both the same, having attitude problem. The little girl up to now since day one never even call me Auntie and never greet anybody.

Primary school kid, the father should not be that old right? How come behave like this? Haiz..Like father like daughter..Problematic neighbour...~ =/

Well, the father looks old to me. He is 100% uncle and looks like an old ah peng (wear flowery shirt without button up). Actually, his wife is young and is not local. So you should be able to guess what type of person he is.

He is really setting a bad example for her daughter and also Yuxin! Imagine Yuxin asking "Mummy, Daddy and teacher teach us to be courteous and greet others, why uncle did not response?" I wonder how are we going to answer them..hmm..
He is also taking you for granted, next time must avoid this kind of people far far to the universe..keke..

Yalor, a bad example not only to his daughter, he has a younger son same age as Yuxin. Sometimes Yuxin likes to stand or say bye bye at their door and I quickly pulled her away. I know this is not good but I really have no other choice. I don't want my daughter to learn any bad habit from them. Sometimes I feel that it doesn't pay to be friendly or nice. Sigh... with this type of neighbour how to avoid... everyday I have to walk pass his door...
