If wife works and mother don't help, then employ a maid for $450 (maid salary) + $170 (govt tax) + food ? doesn't make much sense right?

As for interaction, its good to let your wife have some friends. some locals and some viets. My wife has some viet friends, some china friends and some local friends. Some friends will be good for her, but too many also bring lots of trouble and gossips.

Yes , sorry i didnt clarify tat wat i mentioned is for married yet to have children couples. When have children, its another totally game plan. Everything changes. I agreed with u on this.
