[quote=Anonymous]I come from a culture where your parents looked after you and put you first. You end up doing the same for your children. As a result of parents putting you first, you grow up and appreciate them more when you have your own kids. You recognize the love that motivated them.  In turn, you feel blessed to take care of them as they grow older. Your children watch you take care of your elderly parents and they too learn these important lessons.  You may think that taking care of elderly parents and your children (young or adults) comes out of duty but actually it comes out of intense love.  In the end, everyone benefits and everyone is taken care of.

If parents help adult children, I feel that they do it out of love. Not everyone has functional families. Multi generational families where everyone is helping each other and looking after each other is a blessing and such people are fortunate. I have no problem when families help each other, because who else will they give their money to? Random strangers? [/quote]
