What do you do if your children come of no use at all to you ?

i have only one, he's married and has a son of his own. as a mother, i do everything that i can to be always within reach of my son. i may not always be physically present, but i am always just a phone call away. he knows he can always depend on me and even of he doesn't need anything from me, he makes it a point to update me on his family. in the past, there had been times that he's asked for financial help and i wasn't in a position to help him. he was disappointed but i'm sure it would never cross his mind that i am useless because i wasn't able to help in some occasions. i have never asked for anything from my son. i do not expect him to give me material things because those are not important. i will never think that my son is useless to me just because he doesn't give me anything material. his presence in my life is the most precious gift that i ever had.

I don't think most parents think of their children as a commodity.. although I do think it is good if parents know if they get old and somewhat feeble, there is a room for them at a child's house, as there was for the children. And these days, often during their early adulthood. As a matter of fact families may have to share dwellings the more economy declines.

I do think that no matter what condition or status a family is in, parents should not let their children feel that they are a burden. The primary responsibility of the parents is to take care of the children. Now when kids grow up, it is expected that they should help in any way possible with their parents. However, if things are not great with the children's individual lives, the parents should understand that as well.

i believe that when you raise your child to be a good man, he will be a good man.. the way we raise our child will reflect to their minds when the time they get old, if we raise our child in good terms and take care of them, time will come they will pay us for what we did for them. i know kids now a days are brighter than us and surely they will understand if you gonna explain them.

I think not all children needs a financial. they need a support . Like my mother in-law since they can not help infinancial she help me to taking care my 3 children and me. I do some business.If you're children. Did not go or rich out foryou . Take a time to rich children to know you are there to support. In any ways

Hi, I just want to ask in what situation they will come of no use at all to us. I love my child, this is all. Maybe someday ,for some reasons,he will not live with us, can not help us. I still love, bless him.

Being a parent we should always be prepared that one day- our children might leave us and start a family of their own. I never think that one day my children or any of my kids will be of no use at all. Maybe, they'll leave and lived far from me- but I know in their hearts they are always with me- and will come rushing when I needed them.
