In the Philippines the average family has four children when they live in a more rural area, families that live in urban areas are smaller than families that live in rural areas. The families are strong, they stick together, when the children are older and married. When one family member is in need with financial things or job problems you help one another. You help each other find the right career and good job opportunities. Even when they are having troubles with trying to have a better life or taking care and caring for their children, your family is always there to help you. You can rely on your family to be there for you when you need them. When a single or both parents work over seas and aren't able to take care of the child, the child goes and lives with a relative, most likely their grandparents. Children are expected to finish their education and studies to become successful in life, when the children become adults they are expected to help out their parents. Some children live with their parents when they are adults and married. Children are well disciplined when needed. When your mother give you advice, you take it very seriously, never take your mothers advice for granted.
