AYRT

Ok, sorry that you weren't that anon. It something that hit too close to home and it's hard to stay calm after that, that's why I stepped back for a while.

But, you missed my point?
It's a cultural difference because here it's different. It's not an owned duty, it's not about having to do something. That's all and it's something that seems small and yet it isn't.

I'm too sleepy to try to express it clearly, so I'll leave it at that.

No, no--my post seems unnecessarily snarky to me now, so I'd like to apologize as well.

Still, I think I see your point--if there's a cultural difference, it may be that in America, people need to treat something as a pecuniary obligation--even to the extent of spelling it out in contracts--that you would do as a matter of course. It's that even where money isn't changing hands, it's still often spoken of, here, in a very legalistic way--quid pro quo--all counting up and measuring out, with a fear of doing something for someone else that isn't directly compensated.

(different anon)
So you, as an adult living with your parents, could just watch TV all day and yell for your parents to bring you food when you're hungry, and they'd happily do it because that's okay in your culture?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure this anon said the exact opposite: that in their culture, "we manage not to be entitled brats"--i.e., adult children are contributing members of the household without parents demanding "payment" for being allowed to live at home.

[(Anonymous)]

But they could behave like that if they wanted to, right?

I'm really curious where that anon is from. I kinda want to say Thailand, but I know a woman from Thailand (who never moved out of her parents' house), but she's told me stories where her adult siblings and brother in law behave like spoiled asses, so that can't be right.
