These days because of the economic factors, JAPA syndrome and many other factors. Physically meeting with parents has become challenging. pls lets know when you saw your parents last and if its been long , what are your reasons?

Some do give their parents benefiting burial spending millions but they were no where to be found when their presence is needed most?

Won't our parents cherish the Physical Presence more than the millions spent for the burial?

Really?

This is one narrative I have refused to buy into over the years. Of what benefit is my physical presence when it won't solve their health or financial challenges?

We just follow norms like zombies without critical thought or questioning why. When one of my parents started mounting pressure on me to visit home so they could see me, I told them I spent 25 years of my life with you before leaving home, you know what I look like and I know what you look like.

That same parent once said they don't see me but they feel my impact from miles away due to how I support them financially without fail on a monthly basis. Which made me realise you can do right, do good and do well by your folks without being physically present.

Children were always meant to grow up, leave the nest and make something of their own lives. I don't get this emotional blackmail people put out there about visiting or seeing parents often so they won't feel lonely and they will live long. Story for the gods, when it is your time to die you will die and it won't be because of loneliness from children's absence. It was simply time for you to go.

Parents need to get a life outside of their children and not make children the be all and end all. Spouses should also learn to be friends and companions for those later years when the children are gone. We are all going to stand alone and give account of our individual lives when this earthly life is over, we won't be asked to give account as a family, so kini big deal?
