Theres a solution about the " my parents are always away " problem. They are facking doc...

With the term Yaya, I know you're quite familiar with Filipino/Thai culture. But other cultures do not have this concept. In Japan, it is the norm that a family takes care of their own house. Children as early as kindergarten are taught the duty and honor in keeping one's own area clean. Like in America, most households would prefer to send their elders in a care center with professionals to take care of them rather than hire a nanny to take care of them at home if they are too busy.

So no. They do not know what a 'yaya' is.

Its good that you were able to think of the author's culture too, instead of just rambling off and complaining w/o thinking

What is yaya?

"Nanny"
Its a tagalog word for "nanny"

I am Thai but in Thai we don’t have a word yaya. We have ya which means grandmother.

Well, except you are a really well-known or a really successful businessman, i think Japanese people do not use maid or nanny or something like that. And problem like the children is neglected is not that uncommon. They teach the children to become sensible from the very young age because of the condition and culture of theirs maybe.

Honestly in some countries, like mine, Australia, general doctors like (general practitioners) don’t make alot of money
