Is there a relationship you value more...the one between you and your parents OR the one between you and your kid(s)? Can you even decide? Is the one with your parents steady or already established, while, the one with your kids needs more attention because they still need guidance? Whats your take?

Relationship between you and your kids. Once you move out and establish your own home, your parents' role is to give advice when you ask. Your kids on the other hand, are completely dependent on you. Don't ignore your parents, but your ulimate job once you have a child is to raise that child.

BOTH are equally valuable. I mean, you wouldn't even be in this world without your parents. For those people who think that their kids are more important, well then they should fully understand how their parents would feel. What goes around comes around, and children always look to their parents for examples. They will treat you the exact same way as you treat your parents...so, value the relationship between you & your parents and they will also value their relationship with you.

Me and my kids. Parents are grown and can fend for themselves. Children are just that. They don't understand if why you can't spend time with them they internalize everything and think mommy or daddy doesn't like/love me. While a parent is an adult and understand that children need time and attention and if they cant they need to grow up. Me and my mom we are not close but we are not enemies. She is not the nurturing type she has never supported me emotionally and has admitted what I just said. So if I had a child I would not feel that sense of responsibility to her in that way. I mean I would be there for her financially if she needs me but otherwise it's hard. I would choose my children.

This should be your priority for the happiest and healthiest of relationships:
1. You and your spouse.
2. You and your kids.
3. You and your parents.
You can't neglect your kids for you spouse, but spouses have to put each other first. It is the best way for children to be able to grow up with their original parents still together.

The kids do need more attention, and you can't neglect them. That doesn't mean you have to cut off your parents though. They gave you the attention when you were a kid. They could probably do a lot for their grandchildren too.

They're both imortant, but the one between you and your kids is more important. The kids needs have to come first. And believe me, children need more than simply a good education.
