When I was still writing to Ken back when we are single, I mentioned to him in one of my letters about my dreams in life, and one of those dreams is to help my parents and to those people who are in need. I have that kind of attitude and it is my happiness to help. And when I got married my family doesn’t asked me for money, but I gave my parents whenever I have. It is my own well to do that, not because I’m paying them back. After we married I left behind for about 2 years and Ken is sending allowance every month. He knows when I help my parents because I asked him first before doing it. And when I got here he showed me all the money he has and want me to handle all our finances. But, I refused because I don’t know how to do it then, and he teaches me. When he’s gone for one month I did all the things he left and I did it well. Now, I am in-charge of our finances and so far it goes well.
We tried to help my younger sister in school, but she quit so its over. About sending money back home, yes, we send to my mother once in a while. I remember one of my sisters told me to work when I get here so I can help them. And that is ridiculous, when my mother knew the idea she got mad and confront her.
My husband doesn’t mind sending money to my mother, but not to my sister or brother. That is another story. But, of course we will contribute them if a serious problem comes. If the husband and wife agreed to do those things, life is peaceful. Ken’s money is my money, and my money is his money too. So that is family’s money. No argument.:-)
Sending money back home is up to you and your wife to agree whom do you send to. Nancy
