(edited)I think if I agreed to enroll her child, maybe later and some other family would do the same. We let her kid ride to school with our child and she uses us to register her child on her behalf. I really can not believe that she could say these words to me and I really do not understand why they are lazy to enroll their children in school, but they are not lazy and have many children 😩. Abum's grandmother says to me, 'Do not be so kind, they do not think you are kind to children, but they think you are stupid and want to use you free.But I just wanted to do what I can do with those kids and I think you are like me too.

It sounds like she is taking advantage of your kindness and you have to draw the line somewhere!
It is usually me that goes psycho at some point, and Mey-Yii's grandma is really pushing the limits of what I will tolerate. If I see bruises all over that girl again, Mey-Yii's grandma and her husband are gonna be the first folks in this village to taste the wrath of the nice naive new folks in town.

"Play fool to catch wise" as they say in Jamaica, an expression I like. Something has to change in the Khmer culture, a greater respect for nature, a sense of duty to provide the youths with a brighter future, and these things aren't going to happen by repeating the mistakes of the past forever.
Doing the right thing here is hardly ever easy or comes without much ridicule, but there is a reason the village children want to spend time at our house. Perhaps a few years from now the village kids will be looking out for us more than their own parents 😁. What comes around goes around, even if many Khmers don't actually believe in the karma their religion teaches them.
