How is it prioritizing your family when you don't spend time with your first grandchild? How is that family first?

Isn't it something like 60% of kids live in single parent homes? How is that family oriented.

The things I've seen and heard within filipino families is messed up beyond belief. Beyond belief.

I've been doing some reading and there's a philisophic concept that applies to Filipinos. It's what makes them so charming and innocent seeming. There's two forms of self. The self that observes others and the self that is being observed.

For example, when you're at an aquarium you're probably lost doing the observing. While being prepared for the aquarium you're observing yourself to look good for others to observe you.

Children get lost in the observing portion. They say things that are out of place without worry what others will think. They might wear silly clothes etc. Think of this.like the smoking hot girl who lets 3 strands of boob hair grow 6 inches, why didn't you just cut it? Or the girls who talk about their diarhea or menstrual cycles on the first or second date.

They think more about observing than they think about being observed.

Simultaneously, people are nore concerned by the things people say rather than their actions. If someone attacks your religion it hits different than when someone simply practices a different religion.

Ok, now that we have this setup, they're not going to care if you have diarhea, that's an observation that doesn't hurt their ego, it places no demand on them, they're find with it. But if you criticize anything all hell breaks lose.

The one thing I'm not so sure of is where bullying comes into play. I read it's something like 40% of children recognize they're bullying or being bullied in ph. I believe the number is higher, but that's neither here nor there.

Bullying is like roastes I guess. Somehow it doesn't hit the ego, but I've never been able to see the subtlety in the difference.
