My wife's brother have a son who like me a lot,as he is look after by my wife's mother since young and staying with her until now,i have the chance to see him whenever we go back.i ask my wife before why he like me,she say she also dont know so i think maybe i am a foreigner thats why he like me.During one of the visit,his father ask me whether can his son call me FATHER
.I was a bit uncomfortable and told him i feel uncomfortable so dont call me like that.
Few months later during a causual talk,my wife told me that his brother's hope to send his son to singapore to study and he ask me whether i can let him stay in our house.he will pay for all his expenses over here as his wife was rich if compare to normal vietnamese folk.I was against it as i told her that she dont have the time to help him take care of him when he is here staying with us.I told her sg ppl here work from morning to night and if his here,she have to bring him to school every morning and back,help him adapt to sg life,take care of him and bring him around.where got the time.And he dont know english,so will have a hard time here
She told me she can manage and i think she can but in the end,i say NO cos is not that i dont like him but i simply dont want him to be too close to us.I admit i am selfish and she also say that to me but i just dont want her relative to come into our sg life.For her mother,i have nothing to say and anyway she have never came to sg before and refuse to come cos she afraid to leave vietnam.maybe old ppl thinking
My wife always say all her friends mothers have at least come sg to visit their daughter before except her mom.she is rather sad but i just told her maybe old ppl like that.
