Son.... where is mummy's dearest ah boy

I will like to share a real life story that I have witnessed.
There is this 60 yo granny with 4 children. She has two daughters and two sons. They are all married.
When this granny was young, she worked as a samsui woman to support her in laws and the family.
She saved up enough to buy a 4 room flat for her family. Her youngest son stayed with her and was fillial to her till he had a girlfriend.
This girlfriend was quite nice to the granny and eventually became her DIL.
Granny's nightmare began from the day this DIL married into her family.
Her son made her sell the 4 room flat they were staying in and persuaded her to downgrade to a 3 room flat. No matter how the rest of the children objected, this granny listened to her favourite youngest son and sold the 4 room flat away.
She then bought a 3 room flat and put it under hers and her son's name.
Her son then persuaded granny to hand the profit from the 4 room flat to him and open a joint account with granny.
He used part of the money to do a simple renovation of the 3 room flat and kept the rest in the bank.
Granny, his son and DIL then moved into the new flat.
Just barely a year, the DIL began to show her true colours. She gave birth to a baby boy and made Granny take care of her son.
She began to be very hostile to the granny, scolded her and did not take care of the granny.
When the DIL bought meals for her hubby, she did not buy a share for the granny.
She will make granny do all the housework and she didn't help.
The DIL also bad-mouthed her MIL to her husband.
As time passed, granny's son also treated her very badly and coldly.
He will locked himself up in the room whenever he comes home and hardly speak to granny.
He did not contribute to the household and used the money in the joint account.
He even used the money to buy a van for himself without informing Granny.
One day, the youngest son called up his elder brother and complained that he cannot make ends meet and wants to sell the 3 room flat and that Granny will have to stay with his elder brother.
The youngest son then told Granny that he can no longer afford to pay for the flat as all the monies in the account is used up. He had to sell the flat and rent a room for his own family.
Granny, as usual, agreed to selling the flat despite countless persuasion from the rest of her children.
3 months later, Granny is officially homeless.
Her youngest son pocketed the sales proceeds from the sale of the 3 room flat and left Granny alone.
Her eldest son couldn't take her in as his wife objected to having her. She threatened to divorce him if he allowed his mother to stay with them. She was furious as Granny did not give her husband a single cent from the sales proceeds of the flat.
Granny is now working as a cleaner and is sharing a room with another old lady.
Granny cries everytime when she thinks of her sons.
She feels sorry for herself. Although she has two sons, they abandoned her because of their wives. Now she is left all alone to fend for herself.
This is only one of the few stories that I have witnessed.
There are many guys out there who treasure their wife more than the mother who painstakingly brought them up.
Take Valentine's Day for example.
many guys are willing to spend a bomb on Valentine gift but will only spend a meagre amount on Mother's Day.
You may say it is the thoughts that counts, but what is a thought worth thousands as compared to a thought that is worth a hundred?
There are many elderly who are abandoned by their children once they are married.
In the olden days, people will say 养儿防老, but in this era, I seriously doubt so.
Nothing against gentlemen, but out of the 5 incidents that I have seen, 4 are abandoned by sons.
I hope I didn't offend any gentlemen here :-)
