Blood is Thicker Than Water?

[blushing-bride]

Hi everyone!

Di ba dapat blood is thicker than water? bakit kaya may ibang kamag-anak tayo na mas kinakampihan pa yung mga kaibigan nila sabay ide-deny?

in your opinion/experience, kelan dapat kampihan ng kamag-anak yung iba? kasalanan ba if kampihan ng kamag-anak mo yung iba kesa sa yo? dapat ba sumama yung loob mo if ganun nangyari?

grabe noh. worst talaga for me yung kampihan ng sarili mong kamag-anak yung ibang tao. sana hindi mangyari sa kanya yun.

[showermist]

Not necessarily. Hindi ko kakampihan kamag anak ko Kung alam kong Sya ang may mali. Hindi ako mangungunsinti. Unless kamag anak really favored the friend whatever the situation is.

[Amphitrite]

Same here.

Kakampihan ko ang kamag-anak ko kapag tama siya, pero kung mali siya ako mismo magsasabi ng pagkakamali niya para maituwid niya.

Same here.

Kakampihan ko ang kamag-anak ko kapag tama siya, pero kung mali siya ako mismo magsasabi ng pagkakamali niya para maituwid niya.

Very much agree ako!

Naku! I agree na dapat hindi blood is thicker than water! Depende rin naman kung sino ang nasa tama!

 Sa klase ng mga kamag-anak ko sa father side, di ko rin sila kakampihan!  Masyado rin kasing ginagamit ng mga kamag-anak yung blood relations minsan para di sila matiis eh~ 

One time nag-away yung maid namin at yung isang auntie na nakikistay sa house. Kinampihan ko yung maid at pinagsinabihan ko yung aunt ko,  masyadong feeling kasi! Kung kmi nga di ganun trumato at mag-utos eh, sya pa na nakikistay lang~

i don't agree din na porke't kamag-anak dapat laging kinakampihan. minsan kasi yung kamag-anak ang may mali. so dapat kakampihan mo kung sino yung tama, di kung sino yung kadugo mo.

[ysa.belle]

In most cases totoo yung Blood is thicker than Water pero hindi namna dapat ganun lagi kase there are times na nasa maling side yung relative di ba?

[hot_lalai]

i so much agree!

[ebiko]

depende, kung talagang wala silang fault, aba e di ipagtanggol, pero kung sila mismo ang may kasalanan, papagalitan ko  sila. 

[aquacharly]

I strive to be on the valid/correct side.    But relatives are relatives,  and since I am stuck with them... kapag sila ang on the wrong side, I do not rub it in, I do not help the other side ibaon sila lalo -- I try to find a solution for my kamag-anak.  BUT of course, I do not perpetuate/encourage whatever pagkamamali is going on; do not be an "enabler" as they say.   

Generally, people are not open to being criticized/corrected while "the drama" is ongoing.  So, it is more practical to keep one's wisdom to one's self, unless asked.   Specially with relatives!   1 lang banatan mo, hay naku, before you can blink twice....  sangkaterban na tingin sa yo as a  traitor, walang malasakit, asal hindi kamag-anak, etc etc etc...   lol

kahit naman ata sino sasama ang loob, pero depends on the situation pero it is better to know both sides stories before you pin point your fingers

[ana mimi]

kung saken nangyari yun, syempre, sasama loob ko kase sarili kong kamag-anak dineny ako. pero we have to uinderstand their situation too, pano kung ikaw nga talaga yung mali?? hindi naman pwede na kunsintihin ka nila nang dahil lang don diba???

ang issue kase namin is that mas may panahon syang makinig sa side nung isa kesa intindihin ako. kesyo nahihiya sya dahil ibang tao yun. ang dating sa akin, mas kinampihan nya kagad yung isa without hearing my side of story. kampi na yun di ba?

anyhow, we found out na may ganito pala talagang pamilya. mas importante sa kanila ang sasabihin ng ibang tao kesa sa mararamdaman ng kapamilya nila. mabilis lang din naman ang karma. yun lang.

there's a saying daw na blood is thicker than water, however money is thicker than blood. how true is this?

[muahmuahmuah]

this applies only to my immediate family...parents and sibs no one else. the relatives may halo dugo na yun so i would'nt care less for some of them. but i do have a heart for my relatives sa father side yun mababait kasi and i know they sincerely care.

but i got good beating out of this when i was a kid and my mom tagged those words so clear that i will never forget what 'blood is thicker than water' meant to us as a family. kulang nalang itattoo sa noo ko those words.  whatever happens loyalty lies among us and to never allow any outsider to besmirch the family.
