Chatting to my wife online earlier she is having second thoughts about being here and particularly bringing her daughter to the UK because she doesnt want her daughter to adopt the kind of attitude and culture that seems to be prevalent among teenagers here.
What makes it worse is that its my kids here that are giving her the impression of no respect and a drunken carefree culture of free love. My daughters recent marriage breakup hasnt helped with the idea of marriage being for life which is my view.
I believe she has a point as thats something i noticed about life in the Philippines, that there is more respect etc. However, i have tried to point out there are plenty here who still have morals, respect for others and are fundamentally good. She has the view that we are more liberated here than in the USA.
So to all those from the Philippines, particularly those with kids, and here in the UK. What do you think? Do you manage to protect your kids from the lack of morals, respect that seems to be here? or do you think its the same here as in the Philippines? Do our kids get this from school or what? In the case of my kids it didnt come from me?...well i dont think so?
