Tau, thanks for the crash course. Speaking for myself, I had a problem watching Nana do EVERYTHING, as apparently did many others on this board. And while education was important to my family as well (I'm the first in my family to go to college) I was also taught how to keep my room clean as well as wash clothes, scrub toilets, bathtubs, kitchen floors, wash dishes, etc.
You get the picture.
I'm not saying that what we saw was wrong, because we can't say what's right or wrong in another culture, just that many of us had to balance education along with other household "chores", and even work; and it seemed that Nana was being taken advantage of by a healthy, able-bodied family. Pity what would happen if Nana went to Japan and never came back. We'd probably see the family on TLC's Clean Sweep.
