Oh, yes, it's always the responsibility of men. What about the women's responsibility? You
never thought about that that did you!

Putting words in my mouth again, Pigsy? I'd be the first to agree that women who go out on 'the batter' should make sure they are taking some kind of birth control, however, YOU were the one bragging about there being '4 or 5 little SB's' after a weekend in Pattaya, etc. I suppose you could always ask the girls IF they are 'on-the-pill' etc, and of course, they are going to tell you the truth because they are such loving, honest, wonderful people, right?

I'll bet you bought a house for your Chinese wife.

Haha...further proof that you know NOTHING, my friend !

You may or may not know this, but the notion of 'the man buys the house for the woman' actually often comes from the woman's parents, rather than the woman herself. If a man can't buy a house, then she shouldn't marry him - at least according to the parents.

A young Chinese couple that I know, who are to marry soon, are a good example. HIS parents are quite rich and live in a big house that has plenty of room for HER to move in with the family. She is quite happy with this idea/arrangement. However, HER mother has insisted that HE buy a house, whether they live in it or not, but since the guy is quite young and has no money, HIS parents have had to fork-out RMB2 million on an apartment for them both. Had this not happened, HER mother would have forbidden her daughter to marry this guy.

Just another example of interfering parents in China. We see it as being 'pathetic'; they see it as being 'the norm'.
