I am an only child. My father is 20 years older than my mom. Imagine that? Well, my mother is working miles away from me, but we get used to see each other every weekends. I am with my father who is really old now. A couple of years ago, I don't see myself as a responsible daughter who is really studying very hard and really taking care of them. But now, my father is ill. :(( He is always telling me, "I am like a candle now, I feel I am melting each morning I wake up." Being a daughter, it hurts to hear that. Since then, I told myself I will be responsible enough and be a good daughter to him. Now, I am always assisting him in everything. I idolize my dad, I really love him very much. I want to be with him for so many healthy more years. I want him to be proud of me and I want him to see as I receive my diploma and degree in College. Now, I know that he looks to me as a good daughter who is always there for his needs. Even if I am sleeping, I will wake up early in the morning just to monitor his blood pressure. As for my mom, I being responsible for being a good student. I study a lot better now than before. I want her to stop working and I will be the one who will give her all she wants in her life. And I promise myself that I am going to give back all the things my parents had given me.

Hi jeanious!You are so filial-hearted! Thank to the mobile phones and I phoned my parents on every weekend.They are far away from my husband's home and I go to see them only one time each year,you know if you are working then there are not much long holidays.They have worked very hard and economized themselves very much to give me a university education.So I think it's my responsibility to be good to them,and before I got married I gave all my earnings to them so they would relax for a while.Now I give them money time to time,just let them to do what they want and enjoy the later life.We are examples to our child and if we are kind to others and our parents they will do the same too.

I think I am. lol When I was in college, I did all I can so I can graduate with flying colors and I never gave them a headache. When I got my first job, my help my mom pay for some bills. She's happy about that of course and now that I am married, I also didnt give them a hard time cause I married a nice man and they also dont have to worry about my welfare. In that sense, I consider myself a responsible daughter.

I am a responsible daughter because I always respect their saying and never go against to them.I always guide them and ask to take rest and enjoy the thing which is around you all. I never show anger to them and I love ,care them.We cannot find our another parent in this world but we can find every thing if we have money.

Hi edlene I think I am a responsible daughter to my parents and I help them before they ask me for any help, because I feel that they worked so hard to educate us even though they are financially in a bad condition and not only that we are two daughters and have no sons and it is our responsibility to look after them. So we two sisters always are ready to help them and they too are happy with us. The only problem with me is I stay far away from them after my marriage it takes time for me to reach their house even though I manage to reach them to help them in time. Have a nice day.

I'm also the only daughter with two brothers, and the eldest, too. I think that I am responsible daughter to my parents. I studied well and finished school. Now, I'm working, and whenever I visit home, still, I do the things they tell me to do. In my mind, it doesn't matter how much I accomplish in life. They are my parents, I am their daughter, and I will do whatever it pleases them. Happy lotting!

I think I'm a responsible daughter. If I'm told to do something, I will definitely do it. But I can't guarantee I will do it without complaining. That's my downfall. i tend to complain a lot more than I need to.

Well, I'm not sure what a good role would be. The parents also have to be a role for the daughter, teaching them right from wrong and the will to survive and live. We can only do what we've been taught to do, which is why, if we've been taught to be responsible and good, we will be responsible and good to our parents. Some times, I know, I am not all that responsible to my parents. I can have a hard time listening to them 24-7, but ignorance is something as old as our species, I would say.

I am the youngest of four daughters; and I think I have been the most responsible one, where my parents are concerned. About a year ago our Dad was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer and Mom could not handle it; beings that she isn't in the best of health either. I moved back home with them, built in the garage, so that I would have my own space. My sisters never would take him to the doctor or anything; I have done it all. I feel really bad though, when I get angry because I want "me" time.
