My landlord, or the owners of the house is a family of three. Their kid is only 20 months old. The family is going to expand to 4 next month. They are indian couple.
I have something to say about this family. First of all, the husband is very money-minded. He doesn’t want to make any loss in any case and try to take advantage of others if possible. The very first day after I moved my stuff to their house when I didn’t spend the first night over there partly because they were blessing the house the next morning, he told me that the rental would start from this day. Not only that. Even though his wife and I agreed that 400 dollars including everything, he still try to ask me to share the internet access fee and not so willing to let me use the telephone freely.
For one or two days during the busy period, I used his computer for quite long everyday because he did not settle the internet access for me (I guess he doesn’t want to bear the extra cost of a router, not to mention I’m not going to share the internet access fee). One day he approached me when I was using his computer for my work and told me that I should not use their computer for more than one or two hours everyday because he also needs to do some work at times and he could not do so because he did not want to disturb me. It first sounded very "nice" yet strange to me.. I could not figure out why because what he said seemed to make sense. I told him that I’m not preventing him from using the computer and he could always use it any time he wants. But he said he did not want to disturb me.
A few days later, I realized what’s the true intention behind his words. He made it so beautiful that "HE DID NOT WANT TO DISTURB ME WHEN I AM WORKING", however, he restricted me for using his computer for no more than one or two hours per day. Isn’t that contradictory and ridiculous!! If he really does not want to disturb my work, how will he prevent me from using his computer to do my work?? His true intention is let me not use his computer because he does not want to share his computer with me... Nothing wrong with this actually. I can understand this point because it’s their property and he may want to protect his property from being abused or whatsoever. However, he only concerns about himself, regardless of how this will affect his tenant. For him, he simply ask me to stop use it for long, but refuse to invest in a router to share the internet so that everybody will be happy. And this investment is necessary investment if he wants to rent the house out.
Another thing I feel pity for them is that they are COLD to each other in my opinion. I seldom saw them sitting in the same sofa when watching TV. The husband rarely does any housework EVEN THOUGH his wife is pregnant for 8,9 months. He even left the dirty cup in the sink every time after drinking coffee. His wife basically has to do everything.. feeding the kid, cooking, cleaning, washing...Sometimes I feel pity for her.. But then, I realize that they are not a competent or qualified parents either. They always made their kid crying. They do not know how to keep him, not to mention to educate him. They seldom TALK to the kid or try to play with him. They watch VCD they like rather than cartoons for their kid. They even make it such that their kid hates taking shower, hates being fed, the two most important thing in the world! What a failure.. So now I feel pity for their kid more than their parents...
Anyway, I’m going to moving again next month, leaving this pitiful family behind. Wish all the best for their kid..Quite a cute boy...
