Weird bunch, the Chinese. Take the latest law - you must visit your
parents. Whether they like you or not. That's a harsh one. Can you see
it working? Who is keeping a log? How long do they have to spend
together? Is five minutes enough or must it be half a day?
The
Chinese like regulation. They must do or how else would one child per
family have worked? That child has a lot on its plate now, tramping back
and forth to see the aged ones. It's all because the authorities can't
manage their pensioner population so pass the burden on to the kids
instead.
One mum found herself living in a pig sty as a result.
There's no legislating for love is there, you've either earned it or you
haven't. Lots of us feel duty bound to include parents. Can be a bit of
a tough call, when all they want to do is roll around drunk and leave
burn marks on the carpet. Yell at the telly and kick the dog. People
still put up with them. Not sure legalising it would help at all. Good
luck to the Chinese, looks like they will need it.
