School´s over for many children in Ashrafieh, but where do the kids go? Many parents don´t have the luxury of staying at home with their children and need to find someone to take care of them while they continue to work. The options are many but opinions differ.
In Achrafieh, many mums and dads rely on relatives to solve the problem. Nour Nassih, who lives with her family of four children, in Sodeco, bounces her kids in between the grandparents. She says it´s common and that she feels lucky to live in a culture where she can count on the whole family to help out.
“It´s so much better for them to be with family than to be left at daycare all day. It´s too many kids and too much stress. I´m happy that my kids can stay home and take it easy during the summer,” Nassih said.
