The arrival of Ah Lian
My surname is Zhou, I am 62 years old, I have two rental properties and a pension of 6000 per month. My son and daughter-in-law were busy with work and didn't have time to take care of me, so they took it upon themselves to hire a live-in nanny for me. The nanny's name is Ah Lian, 39 years old, who has undergone professional training and is good at taking care of the elderly, and has good speech and demeanor. When we first got along, I was still more resistant to her, after all, I was Xi to living on my own. However, I was quickly impressed by her professional skills and gracious attitude. She took very good care of me and made me feel at home.
Growing embarrassment
As time went on, I found that Ah Lian began to cross my bottom line. Her words and deeds gradually became frivolous, her clothes were revealing, and she slept at night without closing the door, which made me feel very embarrassed. What I couldn't accept even more was that she climbed into my bed in the middle of the night and said she was afraid of thunder. I was angry at her and kicked her out of the room. Although I regretted my fierce behavior the next day, I was also aware of her intentions. I understood that she was not sincere in her heart for me, but out of selfish desires. I'm older and know who I am and what my bottom line is. Although she was young, beautiful and capable, I did not have the ability and conditions to meet her needs. To protect myself, I decided to cut ties with her.
As an apology, I asked her out for morning tea. Unexpectedly, this morning tea turned into a birthday partyLittle LotusI prepared a small box and set up a birthday atmosphere. Although I was moved, I also felt that something was wrong. In her tender embrace, I knew I couldn't go on.
I want to stick to my bottom line and principles, and not let myself fall into this wrong relationship. Although I sometimes feel lonely and crave love, I know that it is not the person who really treats me. I don't want the fog of feelings to cloud my sanity and judgment.
Eventually, I decided to work withLittle LotusTerminate the employment relationship and give her additional compensation at the same time. I hope she can take care of herself and not go to the trouble of the next employer, because I know that not everyone can stand up to their principles as much as I do. Refusal, keeping the bottom line, is a manifestation of my responsibility for myself, but also to protect the interests of myself and my family.
When people reach old age, we should know how to reject people and things that are not suitable for us. Don't be temporaryEmotionConfused by impulses, stay sane and calm and don't let yourself fall into regrets. Although I sometimes feel lonely, I would rather live alone than pay a huge price for the pursuit of momentary happiness.
So, I believe I made the right choice. I hope everyone can also know how to refuse ** and keep their principles and bottom line. Only in this way can we live a happy life that truly belongs to us.
