hi forum
I have just come back from Turkey.I have stayed for a while with Turkish family.It was very nice and instructive I must admit.
Something is biting me after this visit I paid.All the time I heard about economic problems,any talk even silly one ended up in discussing family economy.
Can someone tell me if it is typical of turkish families to complain about life,money,household,etc...
thank you for any views you would like to share with me

hahahahahhahahaha you made me laugh out loud well we dont talk about only money..also football, politics....
yes we complain so much about money because most of us dont earn enough money to look after our families properly. but i am sure we are much happier than most of people live in rich countries..
and also to complain about money doest mean we die for money

ciko,
take it easy... Why you fire her back...
She's just asking a question she's not insulting turkey...
kafesteki kus no it's not typical. A Turk could ask the same kind of question about your family...
Every family is different!
And please remember 1 family can not represent the whole Turkey.
selamlar

pity life doesn't treat each family in equality,so realities of each families different then each other,so some of families trying to search more luxary while other one suffering in troubles of economical difficulties.And yes biggest part of Turkish people having big economical problems ,so they r mostly pessimist about future,and thats an another reality of our people we like to complain more then to work hard,so thats a complex topic

Ciko,i think you misunderstood me
Being in Turkey meant for me having interesting chats about serious and less serious topics with so many interesting,happy people.
I do not personally come from the rich country and believe me or not complaining is one of our national vices.I just wondered if it is typical for Turks,nothing else...
I believe people can be happy in any economic conditions as happiness is in us....and i also know that an example of one family cannot set a pattern for the whole country.
I see that in a case of my question curiosity killed the cat..anyway,i am glad i made you laugh although some psychologists say "there are not wrong questions"
Thanx for your opinion

Actually this is quite culturally interesting. In the UK it would be considered "very poor taste" to talk about money to guests! You must always give the impression that you dont have money problems. Even now, my parents would never discuss money even with my sister or I!!!! Its very silly really!
