Now this has always been a controversial topic, one that up till a few years ago I didn't know had more than one answer to it because I've always felt that we all are on the same page. But then ever since we got introduced to the "woke" community, a lot of things that usually could be answered with common sense are no longer the same because now people want to be different and they want to do things differently, which is fine I guess.
Anyways, my question for today is a pretty straight forward one, do children owe their parents? And by "owe" I mean are they indebted to their parents for taking care of them when they were little until they became adults?
The reason I'm asking this question is because I recently saw an interview online where someone had said that they don't feel that their kids owe them for anything because they didn't ask to be born. To me, that was funny because it sounded like there's an option somewhere where you could get permission from your kids first, to know if they want to be born before you actually go ahead to give birth to them.
Anyways, I digress. Personally, I honestly don't think that something like this should even be something worth discussing because again, it all boils down to common sense. And I say that because if you apply common sense in this conversation, then you should know that you owe it to your parents to want to take care of them when you get of age and you're doing better for yourself.
Because yes you weren't asked to be born, but it's not like there was a way they could have asked if they wanted to. But you know what they wouldn't have done if they didn't want to, they wouldn't have taken care of you, because giving birth to you is one thing, showering you with love and looking after you is another thing.
Now I might not want to make use of the word "owe" but it should be your duty to want to look after your parents when y'all both get to a certain age. As a matter of fact, you should owe it to yourself to want to take care of them, but then I don't know, it might be the African in me speaking, which is why I would love to hear from you guys.
Do children owe their parents for taking care of them?
