I was taught NEVER to ask ANYONE for anything. There were many nights that I went to bed hungry and my stomach hurt.
Yes, I live in the US but.. I hit rough times. I had self respect and I couldn't do that.
I couldn't pretend to "love" someone to get Ipods, and sneakers and money.
That's just me.
I think most Domincans are the same way. They have self respect and wouldn't ask for a penny. That's why sankies/"gold diggers" are frowned upon.
I bet if some of these "gold diggers" parents knew what was really going on with their daughters they would get the beaten of their life for bringing shame and disrespecting the family.
