Please your PARENTS or YOURSELF?

Noone has any opinion on this issue? 😊

I thought the topic was clear. We only live once right and love our parents.

But, should we please them or ourselves? Does that clarify? 😊

Don't know, didn't see that topic. 😊

We should do whatever is best and there should be a balance.

But there will always be a conflict of interest sometimes.

Generally parents want the best for their kids, but there are a rare few who are monsters too; some greedy parents who want the children to give them everything.

There are generally more disobedient children rather than parents who are bad.

Well the topic wasn't "Please your PARENTS or YOURSELF?", it was "Duty towards parents Yes or No ? " which I think has the same essence..

Anyways, my opinion on this topic :

Hmm.. I think if one pleases himself (money, luxury etc) , parents would be (or atleast should be) automatically happy that their child is doing well in his life meaning their "parenting" has paid off now that their child is standing on his own two legs & no more dependent on his parents..however, in India we do have a rather strange approach towards parenting .i.e. a give & take concept.. i dont think its fair for the parents to expect that their child should look after them in return to their efforts of looking after the child..i dont think thats proper parenting..although, a son/daughter looking after his/her parents out of his/her own free will (& resources) is absolutely sublime..but ofcourse the son's/daughter's responsibility first lies with their own offspring if any..

So kids better fend for yourself !
