Re: I don’t want my kids growing up in Pakistan…
My husband is from Pakistan and there was never any question to live there. His plan was actually to settle in the US but I told him I would prefer to stay in the UK. While just thinking about it, a lot of the reasons for me not to want to settle in either country are the same but I can’t be bothered to go through them now.
What did pop into my mind though, is that I do not want to bring up my kids in a place where university age people (I’d like to say adults but they don’t act like it) are behaving in a disgusting way and think it’s perfectly acceptable to mentally and physically abuse those younger and weaker than them; the so-called tradition of fooling. It seems that the weaker and smaller you are, the more abuse you will get. Hopefully, it’s only a minority, although it seems prolific from what I have heard and swept under the carpet or giggled away.
At my niece’s first day in kinnaird college, some senior girls robbed her off, took her money and mobile and made her do dancing. It happens in army schools as well.
