Issue of sending money to family in pinas

[pennybarry]

I don't own a bag cause I don't like to carry one.

This generation, people are very concious and curious about fashion bags and shoes.
If the zipper of that bag is gold, then I will try to save and buy one.
I have bags but hate to carry bags, umbrella and handkerchief. I am much comfortable with plastic bags, run if raining and tissue paper for runny nose. How's that ate ping? ehehehehhe My husband is only the one who wants me to carry bag!

That would be really sweet. If I had a partner do that for me I would be so happy-not because of the extra money but that it has shown that they have thought about me and us. I guess also because I've very rarely had a partner that's done anything that has shown that they have thought about me much.

Well, that is one way of showing your love to your husband, love is sharing and giving rather than moaning about money and showing your tightness to each other. I always tell my husband, if we die, we cannot bring money in heaven, so let's not be tight to each other.

Yes, as we know a lot of eldelies are quite stubborn & set in their ways and as much as we try to stop them doing certain things for their good, will they listen?!

One time, my brother went home from abroad and he told my Nanay that he is going to kill all her veggie plants because she is stubborn. But my Nanay said, kill me first before you kill my plants. And if you are going to ask the money you sent, it is in the bank.

No..Because then you would have to buy them a fishing boat to go with the net plus 6 weeks worth of diesel and 25 Styrofoam boxes to put all the fish in (plus ice)..Then they will request you hire a local captain as he will know where best to fish plus some fishermen that will teach them to catch fish..Then you will have to endure the maintenance cost due to the dodgy surplus engine..
Cheaper to buy the buggers fish IMO.

I understand you Fred that sometimes they have no satisfaction.
But sometimes, you'll also see some relatives that trying their best onced you have given them a break. Come on! give them a break!
