Is it really a must to help your parents.brothers and sister right after

yes you finished your education and now you are able to do better. Its your parents dream you could do better then they did, now you don't forget that your parents did not stop aging. If they can't see for themselves you must find a way to help them depend on some source that will also free you to live life.

My brother married an African girl and they now have a baby and a mortgage to pay, but she insists on sending money back to her family in Africa. They only just leave themselves enough money to pay the mortgage and bills, and are always complaining they have no money to go anywhere or buy clothes for the baby. My brother works full time and gets good pay but he hardly gets to see any of it. I really think it is wrong what she expects of him, but he loves her so much he will do anything for her. They should keep enough money to live comfortable before sending any money to Africa. I guess it is their culture, i dont know but as a struggling mother of 4 children, I dont think I could just give my money away like that unless my family was on the streets. (her parents aren't)

In my country normally the guys after finishing the study and joining some job, usually help their parents, brothers, sisters, i mean the family, it is their moral responsibility.. the girls if unmarried and in a job, share home expenses to some extent, and save for themselves the rest... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

Hi! Your case is very common to our country ( I assume you are a Filipino). In my opinion, your parents should not depend on you on everything that your family needs, meaning from food, rent, electricity bills, etcetera etcetera. It is your responsibility to help them, especially if they really need it, and if one your parents is incapacitated to work. But as family, they have to do their share also for the entire family. If their reason for sending you to college is for you to support them when you get a job, and pass on the responsibility of providing for the family to you, I think their reason is selfish because they only made you as an investment, and they did not do it for you, but for them. For now, I assume that yuo are still young, you should help your family because it is your responsibility, but you must also remember that you have your own life to live, and that support that you are giving them now is not suppose to be a lifetime obligation.
