FLIP! I hate Sim!

I know hate is a strong word but what would you do if someone was acting like a spoilt-brat and you had to suffer the consequences?

It’s no more a secret that we have made it from riches to rags. I know it because we can no longer afford to have all the things we used to have a few months ago, but since when do we have criminals in the house, huh?

The boy had a fight at school and mom has been summoned! And guess who does she “order” to attend the meeting? Yes! Me.

She says that she “can’t afford to be absent at work we need the money”. As if I wasn’t aware of that. If we didn’t need the money than Simphiwe would not have been attending that school where he is bullied and I wouldn’t be acting as his mom. What’s even worse is that mom didn’t even take the time to ask Sim what happened, she only told me to speak to him.

Mom just shouted at Sim and told him how stupid and a dunderhead he was and how ungrateful he was. I could see it in his eyes he was hurt. He is a sweet boy – one of the sweetest I know. He came to my room and we spoke about it. He was at first reluctant to tell me what’s happening, I guess it’s that African-man-pride thing again, but I told him I couldn’t help him if he don’t talk to me.

He opened up to me and told me that he was being bullied at school.

I wonder how many South African teens have to play parent for their young siblings? I mean, you see it every, well lately I do, and it all seems normal.

Whose rights are less than whose? Mxm
