It’s his parent’s job. Stand in my father’s angle, he wants to give his posterity the best and all he own. In my angle, I have a good living environment due to my parent’s take lot’s of pressure.

From my father’s perspective, he wants to give his posterity the best and all he owns. From my perspective, I have a good living environment due to my parents’ sacrifices and relieving pressure from my life.

I think before I get married I can’t feel this relationship too much but then when I live in SH and far from my hometown – when I saw my parents I just use face-to-face time and I think it’s not real and I can’t touch my father and my mother then I go back to my hometown per months – a month and I went to my hometown just two days – the time is too short and when I stay at home many relationships would invite me to their homes to have dinner or have supper or have meal or to eat something or watch a movie, and I accompany with my parents time is less – and when my father open the TV in the living room he wants me to stay at his side and even we didn’t speak a lot or to each other just stand by with me is OK in my father’s world. So I summarized the time I accompany with my parents – maybe just a few days in my whole life.

I think before I got married I couldn’t feel this relationship too much but then when I lived in SH and I was far from my hometown – when I saw my parents I just used Facetime and I thought it’s not real and I couldn’t touch my father and my mother so I would return to my hometown every month for two days – but the time was too short and when I stayed at home many of my relationships would invite me to their homes to have dinner or have supper or have a meal or to eat something or watch a movie, and I would accompany them but my time with my parents was less – and when my father turned on the TV in the living room he likes to have  me to stay at his side and even we don’t speak a lot or to each other I just stand by him and it’s enough for him – this is OK in my father’s world. So I have summarized the time I accompany with my parents – and the time I have spent with them is far too short.
