In every culture there is good and bad, I admire the close relationship within families, the extended network of help and support that is more common in The Philippines than the U.K. However, most people here i have met have scars from being hit by something ( a belt or clothes hanger perhaps) by their mother or father This teaches them love and respect.... The children are passed from "sister" to "sister" no coherence Nothing is ever that simple. We have a dependency (or a reliance) on the state to provide. Here, there is only the family. We should both learn from each other, we should take their happiness in the face of REAL problems and they should take our?????? National Debt?
Bless!
