Nor was the elusive achievement of harmony, care, and concern necessarily confined to the marital relationship, as several focus group members attested to in discussing relations with their children:

Moderator: "What do you do when they get carried away with their playing?"

Attaporn: "I scream at them, and I often get physical with them too... I can't take a lot of that. As I said, I feel like I will have a nervous breakdown." (laughter)

Rattanaporn: "When it gets that way in my house, I will blow up... I'll hit and I scold. I don't do a lot of that now as my children are pretty much grown up. When they were younger, I remember I hit them almost every day. Even at that, they often got out of hand. The good thing was that the flat has the area downstairs. [Flats are constructed with an open area at ground level where children can play and people can congregate.] If we had to live all the time in the flat together, it could have been unbearable to live together in good health, both children and parents."

Moderator: "Why do you get so upset to hit them everyday?"

Rattanaporn: "They are both stubborn and disobedient, so I must hit them."

Moderator: "And what do they do?"

Rattanaporn: "They cry, of course." (laughter)
