SHOULD PARENTS EXPECT A RETURN CARE FROM CHILDREN DURING OLD AGE ?

 


Why not consider a different perspective? In my view, every parent should prioritise their own health and well-being. This means taking personal responsibility for their own care and making necessary arrangements. As caregivers, parents have a responsibility to raise their children, but once they reach adulthood, parents should grant them complete autonomy to make decisions, intervening only when explicitly asked for guidance.

By treating grown children as friends, parents can foster a strong, crack-free bond built on mutual respect. This role is crucial, but it should also have a natural endpoint. Once children grow up, parents should grant them complete autonomy to make their own decisions, intervening only when explicitly asked for guidance.

It's misguided for parents to assume that their children are obligated to care for them in old age. Instead of relying on their children, parents should be practical and proactive, letting go of dependencies and making their own arrangements for their golden years. Parents should not assume that their children will reciprocate the care they received in their own youth.

Why not break free from the expectation that children will care for their aging parents? By being practical and self-sufficient, individuals can ensure a more fulfilling life in their golden years. If seniors adopt an independent lifestyle, they'll likely find that life is more enjoyable. And if their children choose to take on caregiving responsibilities, that's a welcome bonus that can even contribute to their parents' longevity and well-being.

Ultimately, when parents prioritise their own independence in their golden years, it often leads to a more fulfilling and joyful life for both generations. By embracing self-sufficiency and mutual respect, families can cultivate a more positive and supportive dynamic.

A mother gives birth to a child and always loves her child. She ensures that the child eats well. She never accepts that the child has made mistakes. She teaches from her own experience. She expresses her anxiety every time the child achieves or fails at something. She is ready to sacrifice for the child's welfare. A mother's selfless love and devotion shape the child's life and create a lifelong bond between them. Her influence plays a profound role in shaping the child's values, morals, and character.

A father also loves his child but never shows it. He is a little harsh and teaches the child how to lead a life on his or her own. He tries to teach the child the ways of life and asks him or her to learn from their own experiences. Through his guidance, the child develops resilience and independence, essential for navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, a father's love, though sometimes tough, lays the foundation for a strong, confident individual.

Both mother and father provide unwavering support throughout every stage of their child's growth and development.

is marriage a must?

Lemmy Kilmister or simply Lemmy, a British musician had said that he doesn't miss anything being a bachelor. He doesn't know any happily married couples, not even his parents.

Though the above quote attracts all married men for a fraction of a minute, in my view, there is no truth in reality.

In my opinion, the answer to whether marriage is a must is affirmative. Marriage is an essential aspect of human nature. While navigating married life can be challenging, it also brings numerous benefits. Marriage serves as a catalyst for discipline and personal growth. The progress and accomplishments of one's children are a source of immense joy and fulfillment for parents. Family bonding has its advantages, and any drawbacks are typically short-lived. Furthermore, reflecting on a fulfilling married life during old age can be a profound source of happiness and emotional well-being.

About children..

Our children are our most precious legacy. Let us nurture, educate, and instill our traditions in them, empowering them to become responsible, compassionate, and upright citizens.

But..

definitely don't depend on them. I mean it's essential to maintain our independence and not rely solely on them.

The values and character of my parents had a profound impact on every family member. Their behaviors, thoughts, and principles were instilled in us from a young age, becoming an integral part of our being.

My father played a significant role in supporting me during my studies, providing me with coaching and guidance.

I was particularly inspired by my father's simplicity and my mother's ability to adjust and compromise in life. These qualities have had a lasting impact on my life.

Later, during the initial stages of my employment, I underwent a transformation, adopting a lifestyle that valued self-dependence and simplicity.
