You are contradicting yourself by creating parasitic dependence on you of your siblings mistakes, use condom or abortion if cant sustain kids, don't breed like rabbits uusing colonial-masters imposed catholic-religion as an excuse.

It's a big quest to "end financial dependency" in our culture, that's why starting it small would be wise. One family at a time, I guess. And in our family, it starts with me.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by. :)Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-13932151271993247552014-11-17T05:11:02.813-08:002014-11-17T05:11:02.813-08:00Thanks for posting this!

We can always teach our family how to fish because giving them all the time is enabling them(bible). <br />How I help my family is through giving them livelihood and help sending my nieces and nephews to school but I only help 50-70% of their needs, the rest would be theirs. <br />Kapit-bisig-doing so, hindi magiging parasite sila. At first they felt I'm strict, greedy and thrifty. Well, I tried to enable them sometimes but it won't help any. <br />-I can help kung ano ang makaya- I am not a hero- ang dami kaya nila.ikaw Lang mag isa.ivfhttp://invest-friends.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-70493311921982034502014-08-15T06:55:12.467-07:002014-08-15T06:55:12.467-07:00Thanks! :)Thanks! :)Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-11534144807243326252014-08-15T06:54:30.936-07:002014-08-15T06:54:30.936-07:00Yah, the sandwich mentality is so prevalent in Fil...Yah, the sandwich mentality is so prevalent in Filipino culture.

The thing is, a lot of Filipinos help out because they "expect" something in return and that is a poverty mindset.

Helping them with cash every there's a need is a short term help.<br /><br />Helping them finish school is a long term help and hopefully they will also pay it forward.
