Family
Lebanese attachment to family is far from habitual. Parental protection, kindness and generosity are not limited to the age of 18, instead all continues for even after the children move out of their parents’ residence to get married. Family functioning in Lebanon rests on the importance of unity and the omnipresence of the family (sometimes also the extended family) can influence carrier or marriage choices. Quite often grandparents or members of the extended family will help care for a baby following the outbreak of old traditions boundaries constraining mothers to stay home and take care of the children. I present to you my father Joseph, my mother Amal (meaning Hope) and my brother Mark!
