hi maria..i know every filipina have a different kind of situation in terms of family..
of course if one of my family member need help,i will give a helping hand in time of their needs.i dont have a heartstone but if they become abusive,well well well i wont accept that..my family knew me anyway as
" kuripot ".
and about the money thing, it should be discuss between husband and wife
I'd rather be seen as kuripot than as a soft touch.
