what can you say about children who does not support their parents?

I feel so sorry for those parents who has that kind of children. I mean how can they do that to their parents who took care of them when they were still young and not yet capable of earning money by themselves?I think children who can ignore their parents are those children who are selfish and not willing to give back all the sacrifices that their parents did to them. I will not do that on my parents. I will see to it that when they grow old, I will take care of them. I will not let them feel helpless when the time comes that they cannot afford to do things alone.

Well I think it is problem in the family, because I believe most of the time in the life you have what you gave,if you weren't a good father or mother your kids won't give you back, but if you taught your kids about being thankful, they will give you back that, ok there are people that are ungrateful, even thought that wasn't what they learned when they were kids.

as long as i can support for their schooling, i will not let them stand on their own by letting them go to school at the same time look for a job. but due to the difficulties of our living, one should stop going to school and look for a job if they are already at the right age, so let the other children continue school. one at a time, as they say.

Probably they have their own reasons why they are not supporting their parents but I also do not understand leaving them on their old age. Maybe it would be okay if the aged parents do have enough money for the living but those who don't have and struggling for a living, it's cruel. But yes, If my parents were alive, I would give all my love and care for them.

I think it really depends. In the first place, the kids should not put the parents on top of their own priorities. That is the very reason why we put them up through school, have them educated and trained. This is for them to be able to grow up and live their lives, and not for us. Their existence is not for our benefit. Parents are mere channels. They are stewarts trough which the next generation of lives pass through. The new generation is not there to serve the older generation. That is the life cycle. If man, as he is always doing, go against the tides of nature, then something bad is sure to happen. This is inevitable.

if they are one big happy family the children probably will let the parents stay in their house but in modern family where problem between husband and wife is already big enough sometimes they didn't need extra problem with parents who will make things worst by telling their children what to do in their marriage.

I will take care of my parents although my relationship with them is not that great. They supported me all this while. My brother moved out. I am left there to take care of them. I love them very much. Although I am sick with depression and benign tumor in my uterus, I still can work, I will help my parents until the end.

I think there are a lot of reasons this could happen and sometimes it's sad that it happens and sometimes it's the parents fault that it happens. One thing you need to take into consideration is that not every family is happy, especially in this day and age. I know far too many people who don't get along with their parents and a lot of it has to do with their parents and how they treated their children. Why would you want to support and help someone that didn't treat you well when you were being grown up? The fact that you're related to someone only goes so far and then they have to earn the rest. Honestly, I don't take care of my parents. Of course, they're really not at a point where they need to be taken care of yet so that has a lot to do with it but I'm a young college student with a husband and daughter to take care of. I don't have the financial support to take care of both my family and my parents as well, who are both separated and remarried. I don't believe in putting someone in a nursing home, though, unless they absolutely need to be in there. If your parent is at a point where they demand a large amount of attention that you know you can't adequately provide them then a nursing home really is the best option for them. There comes a point when you say you want what's best for them and you realize that that might be professional care who can cater to their specific needs better than you can.

Unfortunately not all parents are good parents, and not all parent-child relationships are good, so for many kids who come from a bad or a broken family, taking care of their parents isn't an option, but just something that would destroy their life again. In case of a family with a good relationship I think it's good to pay back the favor though. I just think we have to think of all kinds of situations and possibilities. Not all sons/daughters who don't take care of their parents at an old age are unsensitive people. Many are forced by circumstances.

i am a children of my parents... i dont think that children should have the burden to support their parents.. though by that i am not saying that these children should not help them.. some parents pass on there responsibility towards their children which for me is not right.. parents should always support there children, parents that lie on there children should be ashamed especially when they are very much able, i would rather agree on it when parents are old enough that they can no longer work.. parents that should think that there children are working there way up to a stable life and by the means of it.. they should not burden them too much asking for support.. i mean, this kid or children have there future in making a family, a family that is so hard to support and im sure that parent know this since that have already experienced it...

those children who has not support your parents.there sense of humuor is zero because they do not identify the importance of parents. i ask you why are you start this discussion there is some reason behind you. they are not compared as with society.

You are correct. I do not know why this is happening? At childhood, parents put all their efforts on their children to give brightful future for them.
