Will you ever trade your family for money?

I am from the Philippines too but I have never heard of anyone who traded their family for money. That would be lame and stupid. I dont wanna be lame and stupid pf course so I wont trade my family for money.

did you ever encounterd that situation or did you yesterday watch a movie on slave trade, were you once been traded for money. if not then whay asking for such questions,it pure slean money is the sole problem that causing this people need more money do they go for bigger things like life they do every thing fr it even sell themselves well if i had that oppertuinty then i would have sold myself to a sexy women. thats great free money free passion

Um, do in-laws count as family members? I would happily give my MIL away for free. ;) All the better if someone wanted to give me money for her! The rest of my family, though, no way.

i can get more than money if i choose my family so why would i trade them. with my family i can get love and support and money anytime i need them and for all people they are the only person who can help me if i need them so why trade them. besides money is easy to find if we work hard for it and its not really an issue for me, i can rather sold things out than trade my family. besides it only happened here in the philippines to those poor family though not even all of them.

Even though I do love money I would never ever think about trading my family for money because that is so wrong to do to ones blood you know. Family is way more important than trading them for money. Yes one day I do wish to have lots of money, but only to give lots of it to my mom and dad as thanks for raising me such you know and to give them whatever they want. I love my family so much I just have no clue who would trade a family member for money I have heard it before on the news and I thought to myself how horrible that must be and all the feeling and emotions and betrayal that person is feeling the one that is being traded off. I bet it must be one of the worst feelings in the world. Anyway good question and happy mylotting my friend.

No.

Whew! That is so rude. Trading my family for money is a no no for me. I cannot swallow to do that for the sake of money, even how much will they offer to me. My conscience cannot take that to do against my family.

In-laws maybe lol. No I wouldn't trade anyone for money.

I think this practice has went along way in the east, and in my culture earlier, but as an American, we don't do this kind of thing anymore. As a worker for someone, getting someone to do a task for someone else, yes, but not for your gain, for theirs.

Hi Hushi, my friend! I'm glad that you said few because I am almost 47 years old and haven't encountered any Filipino who had traded their family for money. I have also lived in four different places in the Philippines - Quezon City, Baguio, La Union and Subic. In La Union, I lived in a municipality that has more poor people than rich. I had employees who have children they can hardly send to school. Some are even having a hard time putting food on the table but they find ways and means to provide for their kids. They plant, they help other fishermen to get a share of the catch or simply find decent ways to survive. But none of them traded their family members for money. So I think, even if I'm from the Philippines, this practice is quite new to me. Or maybe, it's too few that I didn't see it. And to your question, "No, I won't and can't do it." Best regards.

This can be a very hard, or very easy question, and a lot of it depends on your current situation. For example, if you've just come out of a fight with the family, and someone offers you the opportunity to get away from them (trade them) - the right choice (not to sell your family) can blur out.

After my grandmother treats my mother (her OWN daughter not her step or in law), I'd sell her in a heartbeat.

Hi hushi22, I 'm so sorry to hear that in your place this type of cruelty happen.I know this days money is all that matters but I 'll not trade anyone from my family .Trading family members for money is not the last option for me,there are lot more things I can do to get money.It can be done by working decently to earn even if its a blue collar job.

definitely not, i love my family, and i will never ever trade them for anything

No even if we have no money left and we live on the streets.. those kind of families are selfish and greedy, They only think of themselves, and they have no fear with GOD.

hi there hushi22 i would not do that i could not do that and i read somewhere in a different country not sure where but a father put his own child put chains on him around a pole and starting to sell his boy for money how sick is that. thats creul and when i saw that picture i thougt how could they do that to there own son for money it made me cry i never want to see that again its not good not at all have a great day.

I would never ever sell any of my own family members for money. I would rather be poor than to live without them.

At this point,yes,yes I would.lol

No way! I know there is adoption here in the U.S. and I hear some women will carry a baby for money but to have a child that you so much wanted, then sell them...no. I know in Mexico some women will sell their kids. You can actually sell a child without knowing their background.

Wow that's really sad but I guess it's down to culture. We don't usually do that here in England lol and I would never trade a family member for money. Family is more important to me. I am close with my family so I don't know about others, some may hate their family or not get on on a serious level so maybe others may want to trade lol.
