looking after your extended family

[-sillybilly-]

There is a hell lot of topic to post but as far as your wife is concern i think this family issue specially her immediate family that she really love should be discussed by only the couple.
Any filipino wife who would find and read this herself about intriguing your family behind her back would be very upset and cross.
Everyone's family has got different situations and issues in life and unfortunately filipino familys do stick and help to each other what happened even before you met them. Its only fortunate that the other has the luck but im pretty sure one member of the family will do the same if its the other way round.
We cant be that hypocrite to everyone saying yes you all love your wife but her family is a pain!
You lot chose to be with someone who is a well family orientated and you should consider yourself lucky to have such a multi task wife.

Just who the hell are you to call me a hypocrite? You know next to nothing about me and have no justification whatsoever. We have a saying here "you can choose your friends but NOT your family" and of course, that includes my wife's immediate family who, barring a complete waster of a brother, are hard working and, several of them, have much more money than me which isn't hard.

The guy in question doesn't work, has 5 kids who he can't feed, and goes missing for weeks on end. His 12 year old daughter was living with Ging when we met and still does.

I had to work very hard all my life and no one ever gave me anything so why should we help him more than we do now?

Falling in love has nothing to do with luck and if you think it has, maybe you should take a close look at yourself and your motivation.

If you are playing Devil's Advocate here, you did a much better job than you ever envisaged.

I think you will find this is one of those 'lost in translation' moments, it doesn't actually say how you read it. Remember, 50% of people on here are using a second language.
