I remember somebody asked me this questions, if im supporting my parents since im working now. i said yes because its my responsibilities to support my parents since they cannot work anymore. After all the things they done for me and for my sister, i think its our time to return the favor. And he said, parents have responsibilities to their kids but kids have no responsiblity to their parents.
what is your stand with this? Im doing this, supporting them because i love them.

I agree with you. All the sacrifices that my parents made for us. I remember before, i will always here them say that the food that their going to eat, instead of eating them, they rather give it to us. And i salute my mom and dad, we are three siblings with only one year gap but still we finish our college year. Were all professional. My parents really make sure that they gave us the best education.

hi charlen!Yes, its true that we don't have responsibilities to our parents yet parents is responsible to us. In a good manner, we love them and its our way of giving back their love and care to us by supporting them, sharing good life for they are the most noble person in the world. And I think loving our parents is the greatest gift we can give.

Absolutely I think children have a responsibility to their parents when the parents get older. My parents are both still living and they are up in years. Right now they are self sufficient but I check on them daily and try to help thm as much as I can without taking any of their independence away from them. They are both in fairly good health but are failing right now and it is hard to find a balance that doesn't make them feel like we are trying to take thier independence and still take care of them. I feel very responsible to my parents just as they did to me when I was growing up.

i dont have father anymore but i still have my mom. She is living with us and she is sickly. She have diabetic, asthma, gout and hypertension. All her money were spent for my dad hospitalization. So now she dont have money of her own although she have some properties. so it is our duties to help her with her medicine and to take care of her. My dreams are to have more money so i can give her better life. I want her to buy all the things she wants because she never experience luxuries since she is providing for us, so i want to give it back to her.
