What Do You Think Your Children Would Prefer?

There are a lot of people who choose to go to foreign countries and spend years there working to be able to raise their family. Nobody can blame them, especially if you come from a country like Philippines. I see many people here go to abroad in hope of a better life, and that's why a lot of scammers know this is such a great opportunity for them. Anyways, that's another issue. When going abroad, breadwinners of the family leave their spouse and children, but, for the reason that may seem understandable and right - to support the family financially. Of course, it is every parent's obligation to provide the needs of his/her children no matter what. However, due to this mentality (that life would be better if someone goes abroad), many parents fail to sustain the "other" need of their children - emotional support and guidance. Though these children more than often have "everything" they want to buy, most of them still feel that something is missing... and that something can never be bought with money. Those parents who can provide both are really the best parents, right? It's really hard to choose both and have and provide both. So, if children were to choose, what do you think will they choose - a financialy stable life but without feeling too much love? or a life full of love, but financially challenged? It's hard to choose - and even harder to think we can only have one more than the other. Now we choose which one would we want.
