My duty is to give birth to them, raise them up properly and let them make a statement for themselves. They owe me nothing at oldage. I will be glad if they are taking care of themselves before I rest in peace. 8 Likes |

This is Africa. It is not a MUST to take care of your aged parents i.e financially and emotionally but it is a good thing to do. In my University days and Secondary School days, my parents always told me that " they were not training me in School to become something in future so as to help them in return but so that I won't be a BURDEN to them in future". Don't think your parent(s) are training or trained you in school because they want you to return the favor someday. Except maybe you are from a poor and wretched family with no Money, Assets or Investments that they can rely on. 1 Like |

MadeINchenzen2: My friend stop that thing you are smoking. If your parents need care, you are obligated to provide that care if you have the capacity. Parents and people generally become dependent at old age, and most times look up to their children for financial, material, and emotional support. Just as you were their responsibility when you were a child, they also become your responsibility when they grow old. Abu na me you want to come take of your own parents? Please, I have my own parents to look after. Go and look after yours. 2 Likes |

The reason for birthing children is not so that they take care of you in your old age. Though this is an African sentiment, but this is not the deal in nature. The only reason this happens is because humans are not living by instincts alone. Humans should not function on instinct alone. Humans function on reasons as well. We aren't animals. Even in the animal kingdom, certain species take care of the aged. The question is, are we obliged to take care of the aged in our society? The answer is a resounding YES! We should. Because they are humans too. And because they played their part in creating and advancing the society (most often than not), we need to take care of them. Also, at old age most are sick and weak and require assistance. Do we abandon them? As humans the answer is no. As animals the answer is yes. Let the weak ones die of leaving a strong virile population. Then when we look at it, most parents will want to be taken care of by those they know and are cofortable with. Just as a child would rather be taken care of by its parents, then be sent to a foster home or raided by foster parents. So why the main reason for the propagation of the species is not so that they owe us a debt to take care of us in our old age, it is just reasonable that WE DO THE BEST WE CAN. |

I still don't understand that mentality. That is why many young parents are poor. You have your family to take care of and also your parent. More poor parents act like that, waiting for their kids to take care of them when old. Also their nothing bad if the child decides to help once in a while but making it seems they are entitled to their children finance is wrong. Your purpose on earth is to train up your child and give the child space to flourish without pressure. 3 Likes |

We don't owe anyone in this life, no one is entitled to our money except our immediate family. If God bless you enough to bless others, your parents can be included if they are in need. It is not suppose to look like a must but it is reasonable to take care of them especially when they are seriously in need. |
