[quote=Anonymous]OP, the question of what we owe our parents varies by family. IME, the parents who truly parented their own kids well don't have to set demands like this; their kids want to treat them as they were treated. And on the flip side, the parents who had unreasonable expectations of their kids since childhood continue to have those same unreasonable expectations of their adult children - who, if they've matured beyond that dynamic, understandably don't want to fulfill them. What you've told your parents is entirely reasonable. If they try to make you feel guilty, remember that you don't have to accept that guilt. [/quote]
