I dont live an extravagant life. Yet all they care is bring, bring, bring.

You alone knows what you earn every month or every week, depending on what you do for a living

It's time you seat then down, talk with your parents and let them know that you are not as rich as they think and because you don't complain doesn't mean that you don't get broke

Tell them what you think you can afford to give them every month.

CharisEleos:
Now you know how it feels. That time when you too were still dependent and always requesting from them " give me this, give me that" they were doing it and you thought it was easy.

Just let them know how much and how often you'll be sending them allowance ( based on when it will be convenient for you) so they know when to expect and stop with the incessant calls.

The Lord is your muscle.

Parents who do the least in raising their kids demand the most.

The need to bless one's parents with material stuff should never be about how much they spent raising their kids. Some kids raised themselves financially.

And btw, a child that is yet to establish himself should not place a working parent under any form of weekly or monthly payroll. It is highly insensitive. I think the whole idea of having a fixed payroll or allowances should be from a working and established child to a non-working or aged parent.

Those who are not in this category should ONLY give when it is convenient and necessary.

A struggling hustler in Lagos jumping from one bus to the other for 50k must be stup!d to think sending monthly allowances of 10-15k to his parents in the village who are both school teachers or principals at a government school is an idea thing. That's abnormal. Such a child will only die before his or her time.
