It happened with Kalani and Asuelu. It was mentioned to Danielle when Yohan wanted to move to the U.S. Now, it’s Manuel demanding it from Ashley.
I understand that it’s a cultural thing, but why do parents want to put this kind of stress on their children? I feel like it’s a tradition that’s been passed down and since they did it for their parents, it is just expected. Even just a grace period to help them get on their feet before they start sending $200 or $300 a month could alleviate the stress.
I’m from Canada and it’s extremely financially hard here, I couldn’t imagine sending money to anyone every month. I don’t know exactly how it is in the U.S., but I would think $300 is still a lot for anyone to send monthly. Not to mention, these people only have one source of income since the person coming can’t legally work until they get their green card. I know that it’s really a lack of communication on their end, but it really seems that the family is demanding as well, like it is incredibly toxic. Is this a normal thing or is it just exaggerated for T.V.?
Q no problem I think Ashley house with us is that she doesn’t know these kids never met them. I think if she met them and she was speaking to them should probably feel differently. He keeps everything very privately and after 10 years that to me is suspicious I don’t know why he didn’t speak to her first before he moved to New York about sending that amount of money every month. And then if you did, it’s on her he’s very critical about the way she spends money, but she doesn’t have children or a lot of responsibilities. The whole thing feels very shady to me.
