What do parent owes their children?
Parents don’t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy. They don’t owe them round-the-clock service, singing lessons, expensive bicycles, when they reach sixteen.
Parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can’t. If the children really want to go, they’ll find a way. There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who can’t afford to pay.
After children marry, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house or money for the furniture. They do not have an obligation to baby-sit or to take their grandchildren in their home when the parents are on vacation. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation.
