Sometimes, some people just don’t turn out right. They think they have a God given right to act the way they do and are so screwed in the head that their lives become very miserable. Unfortunately, I know of quite a few people like that. Probably because I know too many people. It’s a numbers game.

Story 1

Once upon a time, there were two step-sisters from different fathers but the same mother. Both had useless fathers who left their Mom when they were very young thus the Mom had to single-handedly bring up her 2 daughters through sheer hard work. There was never a day in her life that she did not work. Unfortunately, the Mom favoured the younger daughter, who was prettier and knew how to charm the Mom with sweet talk. When the youngest daughter came of age, she chose to do a ballet degree in London despite the fact that they were a very poor family. But the Mom gave up her life savings just so her darling daughter could pursue her dreams. As for the elder daughter, she was just the maid of the house, picking up after her younger sister and she worked. No opportunity was ever given to her.

This made her resentful and one day, she packed up and left to do a nursing course in the UK. Through her own hard-earned money, she paid for the course. She graduated and started a brand new life in London. She was happy.

Alas, her Mom living alone in Malaysia had a stroke one day and was hospitalised and operated upon. Doctors had to put a pump into her brain to drain fluid out and this made her eighty year old Mom bed-ridden. Someone had to care for the Mom full time. Both daughters were in the UK, although they did not get along for obvious reasons.

The elder daughter prayed and prayed for answers and kept asking herself why she should give up her life in the UK to come back to care for her Mom when all her life, her Mom only cared about her younger sister. The discrimination was very obvious. The younger daughter on the other hand, didn’t want to know.

Finally, God answered the elder daughter’s prayers and told her that she MUST come back, so she did. She put her Mom in a home for a year so she could go to the Middle East to earn back the money to pay up the hefty hospital bills that her Mom had incurred. She had appealed to her sister for financial help but the sister didn’t want to know. Mind you, by then, the younger sister was married to an Englishman without kids and were well off. It is almost as though she didn’t want to have anything to do with her past.

After a year of working, the elder sister returned and bought a place so she could care for her Mom till the day she dies. Many a time, she has appealed for financial help from the younger sister, but to no avail. She is unable to work as a nurse here and her Mom needs her care full-time. So what is she to do?

Story 2

Again, a tale of 2 sisters and the younger one being the pampered sister. Somehow, parents of that generation just love discriminating their children. Elder sister was always the maid of the household whilst younger sister got everything. Now as adults, elder sister has lived life whilst younger sister still goes about like a little kid, not having learnt much about the world. Younger sister is rude to her own Mom, who sacrificed so much for her. She feels that the whole world owes her a living. She never feels gratitude. She never pays for anything and always expects to be taken care off. She never says thank you. Even when she has more money than everyone else, she still squirrels off her money for her own slefish needs. She doesn’t know how to share. No doubt, she has no friends and is possibly unhappy inside.

**********************************************************

In both cases, I wonder, at the age of eighty and above, after years of abuse and neglect from their younger daughters, do these Moms realise what has happened?

This makes me scared in bringing up Tee. If children are not set limitations, they are going to climb all over you and feel that it is their right to take, take, take and never give. I know so many people like that. Do you?

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
