I saw the same thing in Kuwait the Kuwaitis would do nothing for themselves at all, I would clean off the porch and maintenance the car and the ladies told me to stop or their husbands would expect the same. I wondered when the war came how they would survive as regular daily needs were taken care of by everyone else. Its nice to have help but its also essential to be able to take care of yourself and be an active member of society be in as a car repairmen or computer programmer they are all valuable. We see it as freedom to help yourself.
