I got depress with my parents because my sister worked so hard to pass all her subject so that she wcan be included in the capping for nursing students.First it was our fahter who said that he could not come home because of some reasons and then our mother because if she would come home she will loose her job.We can understand it because that's our life is.They need to go abroad so that my sister can go to school.What is depressing is sometimes you need a mother or a parent to hold you when you have problems and they can't come instead thay told me that they will buy something for my sister instead.I got angry because they always think that money can replace whats been missing from my sisters life.For years i have been trying to fill that emptiness in my sisters heart but sometimes its not enough .sometimes she need a mother or a father to guide her instead of me.Hope you guys get my point.Did anyone of you experience this?

the dillema of choosing between family and money (job) usually poses great psychological and mental difficulties to a person. depression oftentimes emerged in this situation. in many cultures, family is very important in their lives. many people often choose family over many things including money. however, the values of modernization and capitalism have successfully invaded our lives, thus making money or pursuit of it very attractive. i hope people make sound decision and eventually become happy with their decision.

I agree with you but there are times because of the value of money now a days,we tend to sacrifice the value of family to meet the increasing demands of everyday lives.I know that we in this generation has already accepted this kind of set up but sometimes children needs parents more than money.It's so frustrating

hi,i would not choose for money or for family but i would choose for both.i love my family but life and family needs money.what matters is how you care to my family and how you can help them for a living.i can understand you and your sister because i have 2 kids bboth girls and i pitty them when i leave them for work abroad but i need to do this to have work and better paying job.if i stay here with them i can take care of them but no income so i need to leave them afor a while maybe moths and years of work.
