Some parents totally depend on their childrens salary. They feel they have the right to it, especially if it is of their sons. But if his income is not much and has to take care of his wife and kids, is it good to expect from sons. It is not that they are deliberately not giving money from salary to their parents. They too have needs and expenses increase when they have kids? In such a situation can parents show authority to their children salary? What would you do in such a situation?

This isn't going to be a thought in India.

Some parents don't need to oblige their children to give money from their children. It depends on countries culture. In most Asian countries. children need to take good care of their elders. It includes in providing their basic needs as they grow old.

It is a difficult situation, when parents become dependent on their children. As it was they who brought up their children and help them stand on their own feet, they expect something in return from children. Some children believes in repaying, while many others do not care about their parents.

Ohh well if parents don't have any other way then they have to depend on children and it's children's responsibility to look after them along with their wife and children no matter how less they earn...many factors also should be considered ...

In India, parents are described as Gods; so they will do keep the right over their children. Daughter is to be wed in sme other family; so duty fells on Son only.

It should really be between the children and the parents. However I know that whenever money problems came up my late husband's son who has a wife and small daughter in the UK always came through and helped out.

I suggest it must be a voluntary, but not a compulsary.

I would never expect any of my kids to give me some of their money from working.
