..not sure I want to ask my kids for help...

I shiver at the thought.

Culturally, as a Filipino kid, everyone knows that kids are indebted to the parents for them being born. Wtf.

I do help my parents because I love them, they dont ask but they don't need to.

But I will not ask help from my kids, they dont owe me anything.

We live in the UK now, but my wife and I will just have to retire to the Philippines where everything is a whole lot cheaper.
