A netizen shared how her mother went to fetch their maid from the airport and spent the day with her, and now she is coughing and she thinks her mother is going to get Covid.
Here is the story
need to vent. I think my mother is so selfish? The maid arrived and she went to the airport to fetch her in the family car. And then she spent the whole day with the maid – masked off!
Already, she has a cold and coughing non-stop with congested chest. Why does she have to put us at risk by engaging with the maid immediately after landing?
I told her to minimize her contact with the maid – let her take an airport taxi to the house where she’ll put up and pass her food at the gate. At least for 3-4 days to clear the ART test.
But NO! She insisted and end up staying a good 8-9 hours with the maid chit chatting.
I have a sinking feeling she’s gonna get covid. Everyone I know who arrived from the maid’s country contracted covid within 5 days of arrival.
Could be that my mother also coming down with something cos she has sudden onset of cold after spending 10 hours in a place of worship (on the pretext of religious worship – but actually all the women are in the kitchen preparing food, gossipping and eating together).
Either way who infects who, I’m just angry cos here we are working from home and minimising social contact, wearing masks keeping ourselves safe.
I’ve already explained to her countless times, and she’ll agree with me, then do another thing according to her own whims and fancies.. and then she’ll come cry to me and vent on me and be all pitiful. So tired of toxic mothers.
