[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so easy to forget what our parents did for us as newborns. I’m trying hard to remember this with my own family. Their need is great, like a small child. To be in service of our parents this way comes as a surprise as they always were our caretakers. It’s difficult to make the leap that they are truly in need.

My message isn’t directly about your post, but I empathize. [/quote]

But parents choose to have children, not the other way around. [/quote]

Don’t children owe their parents something for helping them get launched into the world as independent adults? With the exception of abusive or neglectful parents? I think there are too many adult children who expect their parents to give to them until the day they die without having to give back or shoulder any responsibility for parental care. [/quote]

I think so but I had normal, loving parents who never demanded payback. My siblings and I are happy to be there for them now. [/quote]
