In the past 40 years, when my husband was a baby:
my 99 said (to my grand-mother / her 99): They (my husband and his brothers/sisters) are your grandsons/daughters. You have the responsibility to take care of them.
Then, their grand-mother took care of him (as well as his brothers and sisters) when they are kids. All the kids live in their grandmother's flat.
And now, when their grandmother became old and can't work (no $).
My 99 said (to my husband): Your grandmother need someone to take care of. Do you remember when you are a kid, she take care of you. And now, it is your responsibility to take care of her (and give her $).......
In my 99's theory, she (99) haven't got any responsibility to take care of her parents, parents in law, and her kids. Therefore, she haven't give $1 to her 99. And her kids (my husband) should have the responsibility to take care of his parents, his grandparents and his kids.........
Under such education system, my husband is: a good grandson (take care of grandmother before), a good son (take care of my 62 99 now), a good son in law (take care of my parents now), a good husband (take care of me now), a good father (take care of my 2 kids now) !!! It is because he thinks those are all his responsibility!
