Advice of Parents refused.....

[one...two...tree 2,762]

I like options one and three. 1. Even though she's not the oldest she's still considered the bread winner for the family. I'll never understand how parents can have so many kids and then pick one to be totally dependent on for support. 2. She has an Aunt that would be willing to go along with this but for now it seems unnecessary. 3. I've read so many time on VJ that it wasn't even asked for at CFO. My fiance is not the she shy type and would be more likely to argue the point rather than accept defeat and walk away silently.

1. Because in poor countries, there are few, if any social safety nets, so children are your social security, especially in the Filipino culture where taking care of your elders is considered your duty. Not much different from rural America before FDR and the New Deal. Ever wonder why your grandparents had so many kids? I'll never understand how guys go searching for poor Filipina girls don't seem to get why these girls are looking to marry a foreigner and leave their families behind when their family is everything to them. Best to figure that one out real quick before marrying her, with or without her parent's blessing, because blood is thicker than water.
