It is sad that someone, be it British, American, whoever would say that Filipinos are making you guys as an investment for ourselves and our families back in the Philippines. It could be true for some...but not for all.
wholeheartedly, Olivia ...
but have to say that I'm very lucky also, as MY wife is yet ANOTHER who falls into the same category as Olivia in this respect, simply because HER family is fortunate enough to be self-supporting.
But, at the end of the day (or should I say "working week"?) any wage she DID receive, would be utilised - along with my pension - towards the upkeep of OUR household ... and no-one else's.
