Young people do not owe their parents anything....i say they do...do u agree with me?

Question

if yes then do u have any points to support?? or if u don't agree...u still can jot down ur points...

Answer 1

My they fed, clothed, and raised me, so of course I owe them something. I owe them my time, and I owe them my respect.

Answer 2

I owe my parents the world. They gave me a great childhood and took care of me extremly well. We didn't have much money but we were always with food on the table, clean clothes, and heat. They never fought and were always there when I needed them. They were wonderful.
On the other hand, unfortunatly one of my kids married someone that is horrible. The children have to lean on each other and they are still in elementary school. They get things like ipods and stuff but it's only to shut them up so that they can get out of their parent's hair. The parents are all for themselves. I think the kids were sort of trophies. Kind of "look what I know how to do" type deal. They hardly pay attention to them. The meals are not plentiful and usually they are still hungry. They are told "tough". There isn't much I can do cause financially I'm unstable at the moment. I hate watching this. Those children owe their parents nothing. Not a thing. Not time, money, attention, nothing. They don't get it so why should they return it. They look up to me more then they do their own parents. It's just horrible.
So there. You have 2 instances. You can tell that you were brought up decent. Now that I think about it though, my folks were always there and my siblings chose to be "me first". They don't pay attention to my parents. No reason. They just figure they wanna live their life. They give my parents visits on holidays. Such a shame. I guess once you grow old you don't get attention anymore. This is why I can't understand why they want ya to live to be such an old age. When ya have nothing then what's the point? To keep the drug companies going? hmm.

Answer 3

If young people feel this way - then they are definately incorrect!
Weither their childhood was good or bad - they need to let their parents know.
Being a parent is a difficult job and we appreciate a 'thank you' or
'I think you're wrong' every once in a while. It's just like at work;
you never know if you're doing your job properly or not unless the boss makes comments.
There's no 'instruction book' for children; we just sort of guide them 'by the seat of our pants' and hope we're doing it right. As the child ages - we must 'tweak' our guidance a bit to fit the situation. But in the end, we all hope we did the right thing and we see that when they have a family and how they guide their children.

Answer 4

I don't mean to sound selfish or disrespectful of my parents, but kids don't "owe" their parents anything. The things a parent does & provides to raise a child is an obligation on their part. When a parent doesn't provide their kid with what they need--food, clothing, education, love, discipline--we call it child abuse. And while most of us are happy to be alive, none of us had a say in being brought into this world. If anything, I think it's selfish of parents to think that their kids owe them something.

All this is not to say, of course, that kids shouldn't give their parents at least the same love & respect that was given to them, and help their parents out when needed. But "should" and "must" are two very different things, and to say one "owes" their parents is to say they "must".

Answer 5

I am not sure what you mean by owe. Financially I would say nothing. It's a treadmill of support. They paid to raise me and I shall pay to raise my kids as they will theirs and on like.

If you mean wipe their rear end when they get all old and crazy then sure I agree. At the very least I will find a very nice nursing home for them.

Answer 6

Young people simply would not even exist if it were not for their parents. During the early years of life, babies, infants toddlers owe their support to their parents. That dependency not only entails their physical support, but also emotional, social, intellectual support as well.

Answer 7

You never realize what all your parents have done for you until you have kids of your own. You give up and sacrifice so much just so they can have a better life. And in times of trouble, your always there for them even if you don't approve of what they have done, you still help them. Your love for them goes on indefinitely forever and never stops as a parent. They just owe us respect, and love which is all I ever ask for in return.

Answer 8

Young people owe a lot to their parents because of all the care and support their parents give them. When a couple has a child he/she should give as much love and thought to the parents as they are to him/her. We can learn a lot from our children and they have a lot to offer.

Answer 9

Yes, of course, you owe something to the people who loved you, fed you, clothed you and educated you. But in return, the parents have to respect the child in its own right too.

Answer 11
