Our Kids- Gotta love 'em!

Hey thats a great idea! we give to them all the time maybe time for them to give back a little bit

Actually I believe it and wonder if the guy was from a different country like China. That is because, unlike Americans, some cultures really do take care of their elderly and I don't mean by placing them in a home, I mean literally, financially, physically, or whatever their parents would need. Then again, this guy was on a television show, so I wonder if there was something prevented him from working, but he was able to still use his mind?

I think it's real..many cultures encourage taking care of elders...when you have a family that's bound together to support each other like that it's a wonderful thing..it's too bad in society today many families are falling apart...that part of his story probably helped him get on the show because tv executives know viewers need encouragement in a troubling world...then you watch their commercials lol

My kids are helping me with the big medical bill and yes they help out otherwise too if I need it. I cared for them and gave them all that I cojuld afford and also what I could not afford. They will inherit the land when I die so we don't see a problem.Even if I had nothing to leave them they wojld still help me, thank God. A wonderful idea for these children to do for their parents who probably sacrificed so much for them

For sure,the idea is good and also the episode will surprise anyone and after all it is for helping the parents only

That's a great thing because parents often lose a lot of their lifestyle by having to cut way back when they retire. So many parents struggle. My mom and dad struggled and I helped them out a lot while they were alive. Parents save and scrimp for their kids. It's their job. Kids don't ask to be brought into the world, so it's expected we put money away for them. I did for my daughter. Since she didn't go to college I gave it to her when she married in 1987. I can see where grown kids would want to help their parents, especially when the kids got great jobs and can afford it. Tyler Perry takes care of his father just because he can, not for any other reason. His father was a terrible father, but Tyler has the income and he's a much better son than his father was a dad. I think most adult kids want to make it easier on their parents if they have any real feelings for them. My parents weren't perfect but I loved them and I know they loved me. They worked very hard to raise us. I couldn't NOT help my parents. It was the right thing to do.

I think it is a wonderful idea that the kids pitch in that way and help out their parents. I wish more of them would.

I am giving him the benefit of doubt that he is being genuine here. I am coming from an angle where the cost of living has been and is still rising at an alarming rate. Caring for the aged is equally as challenging as for children. I know it may be easy to say that big families would not face the problem of taking care of their aged parents but irregardless of the size, more importantly everything is from the heart here. Furthermore, with countries exercising family planning after population boom, I would have to doubt if there are many big family units. Rising costs is the main issue where families are struggling with mortgages, rents, food, school fees to medical care. Even a healthy family can spend and eat a fortune what more when there's an illness among family members. I really hope that he is being true to what he said here.

I think it's a terrific idea and just wish more people thought this way. Of course, I'm at a place in my life where I've given all I have to my children (and husband ) and need money but my children can't help me. Well, my youngest who still lives here IS paying me back for some of what I've helped him out with over the years but my oldest would rather blow his money on unnecessary things, frivolous things, actually, than help his mother out when she needs it. I would love to know where he got that attitude from, it wasn't from me! His father wasn't around so it HAS to be from his fiance who really is a spoiled little so-and-so. He even told me about 2 months ago that he was about to lose his car because he was 3 months behind on the payments and I just saw him driving it today. Sigh! So, I LOVE the idea of a 'Parent Fund'. I wish it were legally required by our children to set this up! Hey, if it's ever put to a vote, I'll DEFINITELY vote for it!

I think as we help our kids get on their feet or through hard times when then are adults that it's wonderful that they want to give back! There are still families that live together, parents with their adult children. I've seen that often and honestly grew up that you always take care of your parents when they need it. My parents took care of my grandmother when her cancer got bad so she could stay in her own home. Grandpa couldn't take care of her so my Dad and his many brothers and sisters stepped in and made sure they had what they needed. Although they were financially independent, they still need help with bathing, meals, shopping, errands, etc. My daughter, even though has a toddler and 6 months pregnant, will come over and clean my house when in the month of January was working nightmare hours. I go to her house, watch my grand daughter and clean hers as well so she can nap. Because of my families relationship, I don't see a parent fund as being a myth. I see it as a family that thinks about their own and their needs in the future.

I believe that this is the first time I have heard of children looking out for their parents with a parent fund. I hope that it is on the up and up and not just a prank to make them let good to others. If thid fund is true these children should make their parents proud.

Hi, This person is very caring about his parents. For the whole life parents do many things, sacrifices for us and when they grow old it is the responsibility of their children to take care of them. I India also children take care of their elders and don't send them to old people's home. Some children who are irresponsible and some old people who don't have children go to old peoples home.

this is nice... pay back time. True or not for sure it enlighten the hearts of his parents. but this is a great idea. hmmmmm...

I strongly believe that everyone should help his (her) own parents. And I don't mean only helping them financially but also being around from time to time, visiting them with your own kids, making phone calls on all holidays, b-days, anniversaries and etc. Remember that our parents did much of a harder job raising us. Personally I am 28 years old and my parents lived and worked hard in Soviet Union during 70-s and 80-s. They did all of their best to provide us (three kids) with food, clothing and good education. All their life they knew no comfort, no vacations and worked double shifts so that we have a bright future. I lost my mom to cancer a few years ago but my dad is alive and I do my best to take care of him. I visit him at least once in a week with my wife and my 2 year old son so that he plays with him and has a bit of fun. Never abandon your parents guys. They grew up in a different age and era of cold war so we will never understand their behaivor and complaints. We should just keep loving them and be there for them whenever possible :)

I don't see anything wrong with it. I helped my Mom for several years. My kids don't see that I could use help right now and I guess I really don't. I think that when the time comes that I do need help, they will gladly do it. At least the girls. My son would, but his wife might not...

Though I am not a grown up yet, I mean my daughter is only two weeks old I wish when she grows older she'll always remember me. Though I don't want to control her but as a daughter from an Asian family, children really have the heart to care for their parents instead of putting them in facilities when they grow much older. I believe this man has a pure intention of helping his parents. I think he is very grateful that his parents has brought him up to be a fine citizen. I wish many people would be taking care of their old parents to show gratitude of the sacrifices they have done when we were younger.

Wonderful and awesome plan and great episode too and i am sure everyone will love that till the last

Easy said than done but I hope he was telling the truth.
