Hmmm, mine isn’t nice. Sometimes I am angry at them for bringing me into this world without any plans for me. My dad died while I was aged 3, and I know if he was alive he would have put in some effort for me but my mom is just so helpless. Sometimes I gets so angry at her, there was a time I wanted to further my education, my mom could be of no help. She is just so so helpless and I notice myself transferring the aggression to her. |

there are just so many things wrong with my mom that I do not want to talk about. The woman makes me angry, how can you go into marriage and be expecting to be a full house wife, okay even to make some connection with people that could help you out, it’s “No”. Now yu made no connection(how do yu even want to make connection when you do not know how to operate a simple button phone) except with your siblings and your husband is late just 4 years into the marriage( my dad died while I was aged 3). In essence; my mom isn’t ambitious, a dull headed person who has allowed churchy things brainwashed her. When She tells me about her childhood I feel so angry 😠, like I should hit her instantly. Where yu born to serve people ? She just allowed people to useless her teen early age. No career nothing nothing. On top of it she’ll be expecting me and my junior to buy her gift like our mates do whereas the lil education I got she has no hand in it. Rip to my aunt, it now I know she really tried for me and if eventually I get up right, I’ll pay the good deeds to one of her children or 1 of her grandchild. |

Use that same mouth to pray for generational wealth and banishment of lack in your life. That way you won't be thinking of bribing nature with the hope of rewards with peanuts from your children at old age. Honoring and caring for your parents is not strictly about money. In many culture, most parents won't even accept that. |

Offpoint1:Actually, she has plenty if you ask me! Our whole lives revolve around the making, spending and saving of money. Try doing this life with little or no money then you'll understand how far. House rent, school fees, food, transportation, basic sanitary and hygiene items, etcetera, are all purchased or done with money. I will take money and comfort, any time any day, over a human relationship with a bad or toxic person, family or not. The former will benefit me more than the latter, and particularly for us women having these things (money/comfort) saves us from a lot of rubbish. I will never forget the childhood friend who asked for my nude photos because I requested a 40k loan some years ago. I was going to start a new job and I didn't have money for transportation, the loan was to tide me over until pay day then I'll pay him back. He said there was no need for a loan he'll give me the money if I sent my nudes, the higher the quality of the nudes, the more generous he would be. Those were his words. I didn't send the nudes I sourced the money from someone else. Right now we don't talk, he has tried to contact me over the years but he is one of those people I have permanently deleted from my life. You don't get to demean me like that and think we can still have a relationship of any sort. It is not so much about the money or comfort itself, it's the power and ability it gives us (as women) to walk away from n.o.n.s.e.n.s.e and s.t.u.p.i.d.i.t.y. I really like. |

AbuAeesha:It can also put pressure on some to attempt to do what they can't afford, thus leading them to do what they ordinarily wouldn't do just to measure up. |

anslemarinze52:Be kind to your mother, and be grateful for what she was able to give you, so that it may be well with you. Fight and defeat that spirit that makes you aggressive towards her. |

Samantha125:So you don't feel there is a need to give your parents gifts wether in cash or boxes? Wow, what a mentality. |

auduadeniyi:The major reason why most of you believe you are meant to exists as ATMs for parents have to do with the fact that your parents had you poor and so you were the investment/stock they bought to shore up their future. ![]() Those who don't have to send living allowance back to their parents also care very much, may be even more than most of those others, about their parents. Only that many of you have been brainwashed like OP into believing only those who send money back regularly care. ![]() |

I do get them gifts on Christmas and their birthdays...🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️ My parents are living comfortably and my mother hates the idea of having financial expectations from us her children... She wants us to do it out of our own freewill without feeling obligated to do it. Danisaint112: |

Klass99:Believe me when I said if all one has as a human is MONEY then they have NOTHING, it's not a mere word. There stages to understanding of life. If you're not at a stage you can understand those words, then it's fair... I won't argue. As per relationship... Blood is thicker than water. |

As the spirit leads! But sometimes, instead of giving her cause dad is late, if I remember their children (my siblings) who are still schooling and everything is on my head, I ll just shone her. I come and kill myself |
