I am discussing about family maintenance. Of course, i am unmarried young boy. But i am talking about my parents. They are working for my career and for my developement. My father with fever also go for work only for me. My mother with illness arranged money for my college fee. Not only in my education. For my sister marriege, my brother's job and for many activities. Actually i don't know how explain those all, but they are really great. Restless. As a parent what are you doing for your family(There are many situations, But the summery i am asking).

I'm glad u seem to appreciate your parents, u should.Both my sons are grown w/families all thier own but i have done many things for them. I raised them by myself so it was all up to me. I still do for them when i can.

[b]Even I am not married.. But, it is really a big task to be as a parent.. they have to take all factors into account and they have to decide on which should be given the first priority.. In case of two three children it will be a big burden for them,as they have to make all those children happy...[/b]

In our households in India , it is natural for the parents to support boys and girls till they settle down in life.My husband educated our son and now he is well settled.My parents not only educated me, they married me off with plenty of things and my father also gave me capital that has given me a lot of financial independence. Parents do all this with love for their children and I am ever indebted to my father.WHen we do this to our child we think,as a parent, it is out of love we do it.

Serious responsibilities really come with parenthood. Parenthood does not end with giving birth to children. Indeed, it is a big task. All the parents that I know of are truly concerned about their own family's welfare. Generally, parents are willing to sacrifice a lot for their children's future.

God bless you since you are aware of the pains taken by your parents for your well-being. You will definitely be a good kid and make your parents proud. As for myself, I don't think I am a good parent, since whatever I do, as compared to other parents I think I lack some of the things, especially in financial aspects. I do work for the well being of my child, have insured his educational funds, take his studies, encourage him (sometimes they get de-motivated due to some in-school events), take him to swimming pool, take him to his music classes and help him wherever possible. But I fear one day if he asks me for a huge amount of fees for his higher studies, I won't be able to collect. Since nowadays I am not working anywhere as a salaried person, there's no fixed assured sum per month. I am currently doing some jobs on contract basis and payment is not uniform. If he insists, then I might have to sell of my house and raise money for his future.

My children are adults, and have been married. My son is not longer so at this time. We all work in the household, and he has returned to live with me. I buy things for my daughter as gifts and for my grandchildren and for my daughter's husband. That is part of what makes working worthwhile, and being a parent. I can give good things to my children and offer them help when needed.

hi r am eshchow I am elderly now and retired so you would think my responsibility as a parent would now end but my son was out of work for a y ear and a half so I have tried to help when I could and whenhe needed money I gave him what I could afford to give as I am his mom forever. I do not regret any help I could give as he is always my son.You are right its a huge task to raise a'family and always be there for all b ut most of us do it gladly as they are really our loved ones.

I'll work hard to earn money for my family. Its a honor for me. As a active family member and being a boy its necessary for me to earn money. Earning money will give food, cloths, shelter and so on. Moreover other costs can be managed.

I would encourage my children to have skills, to always learn ( from schools and society), to be more aware of the world (trying new things and try to understand others). So when it is time for them to be independent, they can live and survive every situations.
