What is the importance of giving first salary to your parents?

Actually it symbolizes gratitude,respect and it proves that you can be responsible to your family..no matter how much you earn

well it should be!not only yours but in our country also, its not also a traditions,its not responsibilities but on how we love our parents or methat they give us a good future and the caring ang loving they give to us to be a good citizenship.For me my parents or my mother deserve to receive not only my first salary but until i will be working im giving her my salary.

I gave my first salary to my parents when i got a job. I am so happy that time because I felt that i am no longer a child and can be independent. Also I can help my parents now though my salary is not enough to sustain all the needs of my family. The work that i got is one of the best blessing that i got this year.

Hi shona, In my country that is practice too. Giving your salary to your parents will show them appreciation for their hard work and you have reached a certain age and work. It is a tradition but others would not believe in that as well. I mean, some things works for the other, and not for the other one. Anyway, when our eldest (sister) had her first job, she gave the whole of her salary to my mom, and it was use at home, for groceries,for monthly bills, and etc. But when I got mine, I didn't. I just bought them presents which they appreciate too

WOW !! I'm shocked. My 15yr old thinks I'm wrong because I told him when he gets his first job and is working steady that I will start charging him rent. He got very upset because non of his friends have to do that. I personally think it teaches responsibility and how to manage money. He just doesn't know that when all is said and done and he is ready to move out on his own that I will have saved his rent and return it to him,so he can buy a car, things for his place and what ever he may need. My parents did it for me,so now its my turn.

i dont think that a child's first salari should go to parents becouse even parent's dont whant it thei alwais think about there children and bui noth giving them the salari you help them how ? simple you spare them frome giveng you ani more money and is the first step into society and your way to race your own family and leave your parents whit the satisfaction that there soon is a man ore a women but when the rich a age say 70 80 frome there one you will need to help them :)

Hi shona! Handing over first every salary to one's parents is kind of respect and regard. Parents always feel happy, when they find that their children have stood up on their own feet. I also handed over my first salary to my parents and they were too happy to receive it, however, they return the entire amount to me, with the advice that I should spend it as per my choice and should save a part of it on regular basis.

i think it is an asian value that we give back to our parents whenever we can, not just our first salary. we are grateful for what they have done in us and for us. in this sense, we are recognizing their efforts of taking care of us when we were still helpless in their arms as a kid. and now, we can go on as an individual and go on our own. it is time to pay back the people who deserve a little loving and caring and who are responsible for who we are right now.

Your parents provide for you pretty much all of your life until your capable of doing it on your own. Giving them your first paycheck would finally give you the chance to give something back to your parents and this is a tradition that I wouldn't mind taken up because my mother has literally given me so much and means so much to me it would be awesome to give back to her even if it's a small amount.

For me the importance of giving the first salary to the parents is just showing your gratitude to them .Because they are the one who take good care of us ever since before we reach this stage. For me it is one of the best gift I can give to them.

Nice question. I think it's showing your parents that you can already support yourself now and that you're thanking them because without them, you won't be able to achieve it. it is also a way of saying that they can now depend on you and a way to assure them that they have succeeded in nurturing you..Of course this is assuming that the money you earn is from a clean and decent job. Happy mylotting!

I think giving the first salary to my parents not because these money let them buy the things they want, but because people wan2 let their parents know they have grown up and have the ability to live... or they want to sat their parents mind at ease.. But no matter how much money do people give their parents, communicating with their parents is the most important thing in the family relationship..

In China, the tradition is the child should buy something for their parents when earned the every first salary. A cloth, a watch or some nice food. I think the meaning is the same like yours, to reward the parents who raising them up. I think it's a good tradition that should continues by generations.

I think first salary of any children to their parents is an output of their hardworkship and good parentship to them. I mean its like an exam result they are waiting for. Doesnt matters how much is the first salary but it has the great importance to the parents....

hi there shona! the importance of giving your salary to parents is showing your heartfelt gratitude and love to your parents.I think this is not only an Indian Culture but it can also be seen in other cultures. Actually it is the obligation or responsibility of parents to send their children to school and give them a better future and parents are not to expect rewards in return.In my case, i shared my first salary to them and they are happy to received it.Even now, i still share my blessings to them even if i have my own family.And i feel happy to share what i have received from God.
