You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
-Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign, 1999-

That is completely true... My parents for me have done so much. They are immigrants that came from Mexico when they were in their late teen years. From not knowing the language or any money or having a job they were still able to provide for my brother, myself and later my sister. They to me are the biggest success story and I will forever be grateful for all their sacrafic.

Think i disagree... You can payback your parents by giving love and affection. Later when they´re old you can make your highest effort to take care of them... I now when my parents pass away they will carry on their hearths how much i love and care for them... That´s the way we can payback

How could we pay back?

My parents have done so much for me! Besides raising me, feeding me, and putting a roof over my head, they have given me money like crazy. The only thing I can do for them is tell them I love them all the time and I go visit as much as possible and make cookies. My dad loves chocolate chip cookies.

That's a bit deep, not sure I really understand it!
Your parents do a lot for you and they also mess a lot of things up. Parents aren't that great! ;-)

Yap,agree-we can't pay back our parents because my parents have done so much for me or maybe too much..I'm very blessed with that ^_^ but what I can do-always pay back them with giving our love,heart,time,care,and other good things..
Time is running fast,,cherish our moment with our parents(family) when there's still a chance.We should not waste our chance or every time we have a chance, we should take it because we don't know when there will be a chance again ^_^
