Parenthood is responsibilty not an avenue to breed kids in the hope of making them your retirement plan.
This is very common in African culture where parents make their kids their life time retirement.
Every parents should plan for their future retirement.
You can decide to support them once in a while but not a most it is your reponsiblity to cater for them in their old age.

What goes around comes around..... If you have good parents you will want to give them heaven here on earth but I don't think that's your case @Op

You owe them. Parents and grand parents are forebearers.

It is a satanic idea to say you don't owe them. You owe them, just as your own children owe you. That's the way God plans it.

This OP na mumu, even the Bible says to honour your parents so that your days may be long, the first commandment with a promise. OP, are you ready to die young!? Dey play! grin

Honor them. Without them you wont even have enough education to type this shit.

This generation reeks of ingratitude on so many levels.

May heaven help you.

Life is a cycle. If they raised and took care of you when you were small and vulnerable, you certainly owe it to them, to your conscience, and to all goodness to take care fo them when they are vulnerable.

This does not mean I support the idea of having kids as retirement plan. I dont.

But when it comes to writing the will, the children and their spouses will be expecting to be included. Why not advise your parents to will their legacy to motherless and elderly homes.

All parents should will their legacy and inheritance to elderly homes to avoid ungrateful children like him.

In the west you are quoting your children's rights end when they are legal adults

So as a parent if I want to play your game, once you turn 18 you can leave the house and go and live on your own. That actually works for parents as they dont have to spend on college which is the most expensive part of education.

Of course if your parents play this game you will be here wailing about how they messed up your future.
Re: You Don't Owe Your Parents Anything by kingmsookwagh(m): 7:17pm On Jul 16, 2025
My mum has trained all of us to that point where we don't get to ask her for anything, but cater for ourselves and she as a person still works and has a retirement plan that can take care of her even when she is old. Forget! that woman's retirement benefits will be enough for her and even extended family members. I believe the writer is just encouraging us to plan not to be burdens to our children. But not literally saying you shouldn't help in taking care of your parents when things get tough for them.

See advice wia person dy gv, guy u dy talk trash. The reason y we gv birth is to train dem den d child will tk kia of d parents at old age. Parents wll suffer to train a child, some parents do not even eat proper or buy new cloths so dat they wll train d child very well. So wat u are saying is dat after suffering to train a child, den d child will forsake his or her parents at old age. Guy u are wicked

I was once like that, neglected my brothers and family members taking care of the wife and her family in the name of love. I learnt the hard way. Your brothers can even be closer to you than wife and children.

Werey.

My dad handed me over to his brother as a responsibility. If he owes me nothing. Or if my uncle says he didn't birth me, and discard me, will I even survive childhood.

After all the sacrifices my uncle and his wife made to give me an education, so I should not take care of them.

Werey.
Frustrated soul.

You are correct.
Nigerians are the most hypocritical creatures on earth I have seen. They want Nigeria to change but they don't want to change their retrogressive habits and culture.

The Wise and responsible parents don't expect anything from their kids because they know it is not their right. The kids can decide to support their parents out of goodwill. Many irresponsible parents bring out kids just to suffer them perpetually and people support this.
I have seen many parents with retirement plan and that is how it should be and not to depend on children. They didn't force the parents to be born.
Depending on kids and pushing them to crime is one of the ills of the society which is rampant in Nigeria. It's even written in the Bible that a good parent should leave inheritance down to the grandchildren.
So by not taking care of your parents, Nigeria go good abi?
