Parents should not depend on their children.
pocohantas:


You don't have to do it at the detriment of your family. C'mon, there is something called balance. You see some guys living large in the city, but their parents are suffering in the village. It's stupidity.

Any girl that'll even watch you treat your parents that way isn't fit to be a wife. And if the guy's senses doesn't tell him this, he is an irredeemable case.

You are rightm but if we nor still give una... una go complain say the guy too stingy and only look after his parents.
You are a joke if you think pleasing your girlfriend is better than pleasing your parent. Any girl that complain that I take care my parent more than her doesn't deserve me. She is a ticking timebomb. Except she is my wife

Well, for me; Parents over girlfriend but wife over parents.
I can't imagine my dad taking care of my grandmum first before my mum.

every man has the RIGHT to decide what are his priorities in life, and what is to be done with HIS money. if some prefer to spend on their babes, so be it.... and if others prefer to spend on their family, so be it!
the minute some stranger "thinks" that every man should spend on one over the other, because thats what YOU prefer, is the moment you would have failed in this issue.

at the end of the day, its THEIR money, THEIR life, THEIR choices!
Stupîdity redefined!

How many parents really take care of their children?
Many of them give birth like rats to a million children even when they are unfit to financially support a single child. The poor children then have to go through hell to make something decent of their own lives. Then you see those same parents sitting back and hoping the children they never took care of will take care of them.

Let's not get the order right: it is the duty of parents to take care of their children. That is first and primary. Children taking care of parents in return is secondary, though very important too. Personally, I prefer to be the kind of parent that sets my children up for life and make them independently wealthy, and not the kind that cries everywhere that his children are taking care of their women and not of me.
how many ladies have taken care of you since you were small if you don't have answers bury ur head in shame

They do it not just to their family, but friends too.
A guy will tell his friend he is broke, same guy will send 10k to a girl for transport to come visit him. All for sex...

Their manhoods and brains are not wired to work at the same time, that's why.
Wow, that's massive!

This is just the reality of life and I think it’s beyond our power as a human being to change it,It’s wrong to spend more on a girl friend than your parent but your wife will always get multiply by 50 of what you are giving your parent not because we don’t want to give them more but that is how we are made
This is why a parents must enjoy their life not to spend all their savings to raise kids.All you owe them is quality education and good standard of living
Mind you it’s a curse if you don’t take good care of your parent

What happened to family? We are talking about parents here o. The people who took care of you before the so called 'sweety' came along.

No matter how you look at it, it is not right to neglect one's parents all in the name of setting priorities.

thats because you believe ALL parents are in dire need of financial support from their kinsmen.... sadly, there are MANY parents out there who are better off than their children etc, and thus, dont require NOTHING BUT LOVE from their kids..... just because you are different doesnt mean we should all live like you do. same with siblings.

but even, if your parents needed assistance, and you prefer to assist your future wife rather than them, there are NO rules that says that you should prioritize your parents EVERY MONTH. give whatever you desire to whomever you choose, not out of necessity, but out of your damn HEART....and if it aint good enough for them then let them live with it. having children is NOT (and will never be) some life insurance for their old days. there comes a time when a man has to be free, and live HIS life and make HIS own decisions, unless you do, dont call yourself a MAN(or go back to live with your mummy).

just like a gf, teach your parents to not live above their means (or to accept their condition)... if they cant then let them sustain their lifestyle. it would be SELFISH for any parent/sibling to expect you to step your dreams aside, step your life aside in order to cater for THEIR DREAMS! HABA!!!!

I have never seen you post anything sensible. Just insults and wishing people ill. You're despicable. Go remove the speck in your eye first, so, you don't lose impressionable girls to dogginess.
Look who is talking? Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

The day you're fit to talk to me, you'll know by my response.
call it stupidity so long I'm diametrically opposed to bitchery, so long it is reasonably & unreasonably condemned, far removed without the convention of being given the full benefits from people like you & your ilk. If you were slightly close to the wisdom of cold.feet(case in point),NL woulda returned to being a delight. I have a fair idea the tough times you were made to go through but then again, for the good of the impressionables. Minutes ago, I read on FP a slay queen took a selfie with her new phone without her an idea of a condom as a selfie mate.. But you will say to her 'go girl'

There's always two sides to this story...especially if the parent has other priorities that become your responsibility.... Guys make una use una head sha.

Anyway most old parents no send una any message o...if you manage to see NYSC...OYO to you..(on your own).but the lady should know the story before she also commits to the relationship.

what I'm going to say now may sound surprising but it's true, some parents never really took care of their wards hence these wards don't feel true love n respect for them,some parents even gets involved in acts that are irresponsible n disgraceful that inwardly their wards regret having them as parents, so painful n strange as such behaviours may appear, they requires deep thoughts n investigation not just instant n general condemnations.
Re: Why Do Some Guys Spend Lavishly On Women But Fail To Take Care Of Their Parents? by Belafonte(m): 9:24pm On Nov 20, 2017
This all boils down to the cost of the relationship and whether or not said dude is willing to pay what he thinks is the price to keep it alive.

You should understand that giving a girlfriend money is not caring for the girlfriend per se, it is actually the guy paying for the maintenance of that relationship. Giving babe's money is really paying for a service, to put it crudely. A service nobody part form his girlfriend can offer. grin

When he gives bar money, he is not helping her to the detriment of his mother, he is helping himself.

Now, this can be taken too far. After all, too much if everything is bad. Help yourself small, help your mama small. Find a balance. Everybody is happy. smiley

It is obvious u are guilty of what the op is talking about...
The message is clear, why spend more on your gf than parents?
Op never said wife, but so many guys have changed it to wife & here u are trying so hard to make it sound right to neglect one's parent...Woman is a weak point for somemen, not everyman can live without a woman. The fear of losing their gf will even make them kill their parents....So we understand.

Some ladies on fp affirmed the op message....
