Step mother stories are plentiful in Sibu. There are two or three good step mothers amongst the many bad ones.
Here is a story of a step mother as told by a former student who came from a large extended family and her own brother was widowed and then remarried to a fierce lady. Her cousins suffered a lot but they were kind and forgiving people.
There were a lot of injustices in this particular family . Like Cinderella, the children of the first wife suffered. Here is one particu
lar story.
The step mother would prepare bread for the children to bring to school. She would use Planta and some locally made jam to her step children for their sandwiches.
But for her own children, she would make egg sandwiches with Golden Churn butter.
Her step children grew up and would never look at Planta margarine because they said they could smell the horrible and hateful oily stuff for days on their fingers.
As children we actually found it quite difficult to eat Planta. Some of us even found Planta not easily digestible if truth be told.
Personally it is difficult to like food that is prepared by people who do not love you. I always tell my children that if chefs are not happy their food would not be good. Each time I prepare any food I make sure that I am happy. If I am sad, I would not cook.
And also, you will find it difficult to forget all the unkind things people do to you, even if you are very forgiving.
