Blessing or Blight?(A Question from People Of Advanced Nations)?

As an American it makes me so sad and ashamed that in reality, a lot of the world feels the same way you do about us. As far as the family system issue, I personally quit my job to stay home with my child and fed as long as was possible (she had feeding issue) :). Although this is how you see advanced nations, know that there are people out there trying to live better lives....take care of their children and extended families, be modest and not focus so much on the "almighty dollar."
