Pay up

Because I found my family having difficulty handling household expenses, I volunteered for the job. In turned out I wasn't much better at it than they were. I mainly manage rental fee for our house and the electric bill. I make sure they submit the money needed for them every month on time. It sounds like an easy job, especially I'm not the one submitting. Except when you don't see money by dead line. I hate having to follow up 3 times a month asking the sum. I feel as long as everyone is respecting the agreement and are well prepared before the deadline, we should not complicate something this simple. When thing like this happens, it only makes me sad.


When I'm sad, my meter level for self-control will fall. Imagine a balloon that is over-pumped, there is little room for any further expansion. I don't like being like that as it only clouded my reasons. So, I try to understand why would they do it, what is their reason for the delay? I tried to talk to them, and of course they had their reasons for it. I don't really agree with them but arguing wasn't going to bring us any further with the discussion so I kept quiet and told myself to find another angle of understanding.


After some struggling in mind, I finally able to convinced myself that they were only late on the money. As long as they still able to come out with them, on time or not, I should not be bothered too much by it.
