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.

Some parents think their child owes them the world. I know of a woman who wouldn't let her son get married because he wouldn't take care of her as he should again.

Oh that's very horrible, why would the mother forbid her son to marry. As long as the son is already in the right age, she shouldn't stop him. That's kinda sad.

Parang nasa culture ng Pinoy yung dapat magbigay ng pera sa magulang. Siguro, oo sa pagkukusa. Pero yung pilit ng mga magulang, it is a no no. Dapat hindi ganun kasi yung mga children, may pinagiipunan din sila sa life. Thank God my parents are not forcing us to give money to them.

Maswerte ka Jijisaur dahil di ganyan yung mindset ng magulang mo. Yung magulang ko di din naman ganyan pero dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay, kailangan magtrabaho ng kuya ko para samin.

Any parent that puts such a burden on their children does not deserve to be called a parent in the first place.

Parenthood entails unconditional love and selflessness, and anybody who denies their children that is not fit to be called one. It is even a fundamental human right enshrined in the constitution of most countries of the world

Yes, well said. I remember the 10 basic rights of every child when I was in elementary, how sad that other parents doesn't even know about it. As if they are growing a livestock to get profit one day.

I feel sad when yung ibang parents need pang isumbat lahat ng mga nagastos and sacrifices nila sa mga anak nila. Like it is their responsibilities naman as a parent Yeah, children didn't owe anything to their parents. Pero tayong mga anak kase feeling natin na we need to do something to for hem, siguro wala tayong obligation to repay them pero we can't also be neglect na somehow may utang na loob tayo sa kanila.

Tama. Di natin maiwasan makaramdam ng malaking utang na loob sa magulang natin. May mga magulang din na binuhay ang anak para may magtatrabaho sa buong pamilya which is hindi magandang mindset.

That is not a great idea. That kind of mentally is toxic. What every parent should do is to secure the future of their kids so that they know how to stand on their own without having to depend on their parents and vice versa. That's why family planning is crucial. Before entering into a relationship and building a family, secure yourselves first.

Yes that's exactly the truth. Unfortunately, a lot of people are rushing into building a family without even considering the fact that they have to be financially, emotionally and spiritually prepared in raising their child. Good parenthood are rare.

I don't know how some parents would feel their children owe them anything in this world because they only came and not because they wanted to, but you brought them here. So, it is the parent's duty to provide for the children and never expect anything from them.

I just feel so really sad everytime there are parents blaming their child for not giving back, it's okay to support our parents whether it's financial support but when they forced you to the limits because you owe them, it feels really heartbreaking.

Minsan yung mga anak nagkaka stress at depress dahil sa pressure na natatanggap nila from their parents Sydney. Naawa ako sa ganun kasi yung ibang parent sobra din talaga minsan.
