Where to draw a line???

Re: Where to draw a line???

But is it really practical for the average person to be supporting two families at the same time (new wife.. and then own kids as well as parents and possibly unmarried siblings back home too)?

I think too much emphasis is put on one person maintainng an entire family.. to me it’s a ridiculous amount of pressure and one that could be lessened a huge amount if everyone who is able to work or help out did their own little bit.. Of course if your parents really need help it’s your duty to give but generally speaking I don’t think it’s healthy (physically or mentally) for anyone to be totally dependent on others unless there’s no other choice.. This is going to sound harsh but I really believe that seeing dependency as ‘normal’ makes us weaker as a society..
