You don't owe him. It was his duty as your father to train, sacrifice and give you the best. He decided to bring you to the world. You can also do your best to take care of him of course now that he is older. But children should never be parents retirement plan. Now that he is paid his pension, he is supposed to utilize it well on himself and not be feeling entitled to yours because you have your own life to live. Hope you will do better to your kids. African parents need to stop that rubbish.

Since you don't owe him, what if he became so selfish like you by stop labouring to train you?

Some people deserve to be born by animal and end up in human pot.

Sure, a lot of parents can decide on a great retirement plan, at the expense of their kids.

Why should I send my kid to a private school when I can send him to a public school and use that money

I remember some truly scruffy looking kids in my uni days who everyone kept saying forget, their dad has money in stocks.

Maybe that guy is the kind of one you deserve, one looking out for himself first.

A parent can decide their obligations are to provide you with the most basic provisions, which would free up money for a big retirement plan.

Be careful not to jump on oyibo ideas of entitlement.

Funny

It's annoying when peeps try to apply 'Western ideals' without evaluating our reality.

A responsible African parent is the Government of their child. Parents still support grown kids who are yet to get on their feet. Africans don't have the luxury of relying on the Government so kith and kin carry that burden.

Several people japaing were sponsored by their parents.

While parents should plan their retirement, children should be prepared to also support their parents.

My sis is a doctor in Yankee. At a point like 12 years ago when they had not found their feet and she was doing residency her husband lost his job and everyone had to chip in till they got back on their feet. Now imagine my sis saying some western I don't owe anybody anything nonsense.

My dad had an older sister who was literally held back at home while everyone else went to school. She was the one taking care of them. So she wound up uneducated. As a child I saw the woman as a leech chopping off everyone else in the family. But as an adult I understand that her future was sacrificed for the rest of them.

Sometimes when I see some of these things I can only say omode lon se won. (which my dad used to say to me when I spoke nonsense and thought I was talking sense) Because you will not understand some things until you are older.

Yes o, people like you obviously.

Selfish? where did I say it is wrong to take care of your parents, please? What is wrong is entitlement for the umpteenth time.

You would be shocked how old they are.

Some peeps want to sound woke at the cost of foolishness.

Others have not outgrown the foolishness of youth.
