the world today (10)

have we become to materialistic and what happened to family values

We all have values,Each to his own opinion what values mean.Values have not changed they have just followed the times we are living.Values change as everything changes.What we believed when we were younger changes as the children grow up.Now thou it has become easier for one to leaveve another and not stick it out for the childrens sake.As long as they are responsible for these children and love and care for them It's their life and they must live it as they think is best.

Good rephrasing Smoky when looking at it from the feminine or female viewpoint.
The men's version would be

when they arrive at the house, you would have to get out of bed, go down the stairs at all hours, to open the door, because invariably they forget the key, but never bother, because they know that you are always at home waiting for them.

They are the ones that can bang the door on arriving in the middle of the night and shout hello when half drunk, knowing that they are not going to be rebuked.

Family are your major headache when it comes to their needs. You have to clothe them and feed them or they'll bring down the house. And don't forget the firewood for warming them up when it is cold.....and the wine and the whisky, if the evening is particularly cold.

They will always come for the money, saying that they are only borrowing it, but never mean to return it.

When you have done something particularly clever and you want to tell them about it, they say that they are not interested to hear about it, because if it was that clever, they would be reading about it in tomorrow's papers.

When they're depressed, they just make sure you notice, so that you will run to their rescue, and save them the Phsychiatrist's bill and medication

When their car breaks down or when they're somewhere where nobody would be interested to go for them, they phone you up for help, and don't take no for an answer, sometimes even threatening suicide, if you dont answer immediately that you are already on the way to help.

Family may be a precious commodity, and the most certain way how to break your bank account.
