well correct me if i,m wrong but The parents drum it into their kids that they made sacrifices to bring them into the world and expect them to help them out when they start working.I guess its a culture thing lol as I have never helped my parents out as they never needed help .british kids are far too selfish to be helping parents its a me me me culture .I help my g,f ,s family out sometimes ,but I have pointed out that i,m not rich and us come first ,The question is who will help us if the crunch came ? er nobody .

My wife also sends money to her family every month. There always seems to be a reason to send extra...medical or otherwise particularly as they are all living in and around Tacloban/Basey and hard hit by Yolanda. The last few months have been particularly challenging. We are also struggling with very large phone bills as the family have had no electricity or internet up till now. So you're not alone Moy!

I would like to think when push came to shove, they'd be there in your corner
My first father in law doted on his 3 daughters. .spoilt them rotten even his nagging but loving wife.
His mother died in a mental institution in the early 70s. ..he thought he may go the same way.
What happened. .he got sick, so the family stuck him into a nursing home he died there 2 years later.
I wouldn't hold your breath Fred

In fact. .reading your reply to LM yesterday about homeownership being better than rental with the fact there's no nursing homes to be abandoned in, I'm convinced the UK is not the place to be in old age

I wonder how many here spent a decade or 2 being married to a white British.
You're correct Joe. .marriage is a partnership...as for money coming into the house, in a white/white relationship, it's normally pooled. Both working for same goals. There's no what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours ......so really folks coming from years of being married to a British could well have a hard time adjusting

Its very hard for many men on here to understand the up bringing you have over in the phils, and it takes time to sink in too,
When my Ems started work and wanting to send so much back home to help the family i had to say stop, we come first so just hold back a little,
How wrong i was , we could afford to send money each week but it was not bread in me to do that,
My way was leaving home at 16 to find your fortune and dont come back too, and if you did well, well thats good,
But now i am married to Ems i do believe her way is the best way, give when you can and have that extra just in case for emergencies , what ever amount you send you hope it goes to the right people and for the right reasons too,

hey you bear in mind that You can rule ignorance; you can manipulate the illiterate; you can do whatever you want when a people are uneducated, so that goes in line with corrupt business and corrupt politics.
therefore not in any place on earth would solve to any on that..A place for everything, everything in its place.
