[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What changed? People are now viewing family relationships as investments rather than insurance. It used to be that you put in some efforts because you never know what might happen, but family, however dysfunctional, was supposed to be there to help you, blood thicker than water and so on. And if it seemed like you are putting in more than you are get your, you considered yourself lucky that it’s not you who needs support. Now, the family backup is not as crucial or feasible for many reasons, and if you don’t think you are getting a fair deal, you might as well opt out.[/quote] I think this PP may be onto something. In old times there was no SS, no kindergarten, no jobs for women, so whether you wanted or not, you had to suck it up. It also reflects in marriages as women don't have to stay at their husband's mercy. Access to resources and money has made all the difference. [/quote]
