I've only been in the UK for nearly 2 weeks. Before I even left Philippines I made it clear to my parents that I would help them in some ways if needed but I wont be sending money If it is not really necessary. Especially when I do not have a job just yet. It would be embarrassing to ask money from my husband when I'm already here with him. I always thought, I will never oblige him to help nor send money to my family back in the philippines. If i ever have to do so, it would only be because I already have a job. I'll only give what I can afford and only when it's needed. It's not easy to earn money here.
I'm just glad my parents have never obliged me to send help to them..as a daughter I would help them in some ways...but there has to be limitations. I made it clear to them.
It's not bad if we say No..they can't expect us to say YES all the time.
