Hi all
And sorry I cannot see a site for this but hope you do not shout me down.
I have often asked my Wife and I know our latest Daughter- in -law has asked her if I say the following things:_
Yes, I guess it is slightly different here as against the West
1/ Does he say I love you sometimes or whenever he can
2/ Yes anytime say good morning and good night
3/ Do the children say this at all
4/ Please or thank you and yes even in their own language or in English
5/ They don't seem to say I love you
6/ How was your day?
and so on and on
The reason why I state this anything can happen to all of us in a split second and we all do take things for granted.
For instance God willing in a tragic accident resulting in a death and sometimes and yes often include the Thais they seem not to talk, unless they want something ie money.
However, we bring them up meaning Grandparents and treat them as our own.
The parents are either at work or if lucky the blood Mother mother would bring them up and I know the Thai custom on this from a personal point of view is correct.
Yes, indeed sometimes and this is worldwide the children only speak if they want money or are hungry and they forget who bring them up and teach them many things and LOL when anything technical like computers it is very easy for them but when we ask it has to be the right time for them, if lucky.
Not ranting at all but as I say things can happen in an instant and believe it or not many are quiet and thoughtful and nothing wrong with that either
Cheers
Just sometimes I think the children take their elders for granted.

LOL could also put this up on the socials but would get told off lol.
