\"Mother,<\/a>
Mother, Grandmother, Children walking into the sun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My community is a young one, 12 years old and gated. Young families with wee children live behind the gates. There’s more than a few high schoolers thrown into the mix, but for the most part rugrats and ankle-biters rule the day.<\/p>\n

Families in china are the extended type. Parents, their children, and the children’s children, live under one roof. While the parents are competing in the rat race, the grandparents tend to the children. The Bible says something about honoring thy parents. That was the custom in China before The Bible was written. Your parents raised you: When you’re old enough (the male children) look after their parents.\u00a0 Retirement homes are new and not popular.<\/p>\n
