Do Children Owe Their Parent?
Sometimes in life we can't stop wondering if do we owe our parent in this world. Do we owe them our life? Do we owe them our existence? Sometimes, children think that they are a burden to their parent and they feel that they are only a problem. Is it really a burden when a child sees that his/her parents struggle a lot to raise them?
There are parents who are blaming their children for being a burden in this world. This is very sad to think that they have regret giving birth and blame the child for all the hardships in life. This is why there are many children growing up thinking that they owe their parents a lot. It feels so sad when your child grow up thinking about his life as a debt in this world.
There are children who feel threatened by their parents. They have to give everything they have on life because it's their parent. Something they have to do everything even it means sacrificing themselves. I believe that a good parent will never make their child feel that they have to pay back.
Your child owes you nothing.
I think it's time for every parent to know and realize that their child owes them nothing. They didn't even ask to be born in this world, they just came out and grew as a human being without their consent to be your biological child. If only every single child in this world has the chance to chose who their parents, for sure they wouldn't chose the kind of parents who will only tell how much they owe them their life.
A child doesn't owe their parents Money.
This is the number one thing that a parent tells to their child. It is not the child's decision to be born under your house. In fact, it is the parents' responsibility to provide for their children's needs and money is the number one.
In fact the parent owe their child the following:
Happy and safe childhoods, proper guidance, love and support, emotional and mental strength.
Happy & Safe childhoods- it is the parents' responsibility to keep their child's childhood safe and happy. They deserve to live in a stress-free environment. They only become a child once so this is really important to keep that phase memorable and happy. Every child needs their parents proper guidance and you shouldn't let your child wandering in emptiness. The parent should always provide their child a love and support because there are so many rebellious children growing up because they have never felt that feeling. Most importantly, a parent should always be the number one motivator both mentally and emotionally.
It's very sad to think that there are children growing up, worrying that they cannot repay their parents. I believe that a good son/daughter will always love and care for their parents. But when a parent will ask the child how much he/she have spend raising their child, it is already unrighteous. A responsibility doesn't mean expecting for a return one day. It is very scary when the parent curse their child for not growing up the way they wanted it to be. This is a very bad kind of parenting. Some would even curse their child for sending them in a good universities only to find out they will pursue the different career, this one is already a misery to the child who feel that they have owe their parent a lot.
If your parents tell you that you owe them a lot then do not feel bad about yourself. Tell them the right things without disrespecting them. You did not owe them your life. You never chose to be born. Loving and respecting your parents is a must because they are your biological family. However, when they ask you to work for them and repay everything they've given to you then it's time to ask whether do they really care about you as their child or if they just made you as an investment.

This is so true. Filipinos should start doing away from the norm that their children owe them money.
