| What it would be like? I have heard friends complain about it and saw my own parents argue over it, the idea of a family member staying indefinitely over your place. I somehow get their argument that they already have their own family which is why they separated or lived away from the family's they grew up with in the first place, but now here is your partner's brother, sister, cousin, etc staying indefinitely? Sure somewhere along the way conflict shall arise, especially about financial issues.These kinds of situation makes me think. What would I do or feel if ever I am that relative in question? How will I deal with my son or daughter's partner not accepting my presence in their home? Where would I go? I know this is somewhat trivia for now, but it just makes me wonder of an uncertain future and how today's generation is growing indifferent from us, the older generations. |
| "Extending Help "
There would be times when a family member, a sister or a brother that might need help and might come knocking at your door asking for a day or two, or may months of stay in your place. Imagine if you were that relative, how would you feel if you feel like you are not that welcome in the house? There is nothing wrong with helping, especially when it concerns a family member, relatives and friends. |
| "Golden rule doesn't always apply"
If there is one thing that I have learn in this life that it can be pretty unfair sometimes. There is no real guarantee that the good deed you have done will return ten folds. I have this friend who have been so kind to his relatives but at the end of it all, he was eventually turned out as the bad guy as those ungrateful relatives of his spread malicious rumors about him when they went back to their hometowns. It doesn't mean that we should not be good towards our relatives, but we must also accept the reality that the golden rule does not always apply. |
