Do you think I'm a bad daughter? email this discussion to a friend?

Here's the situation, I am working with a very low salary but I don't give all of my salary to my parents. I only give a part of it to my mom and then the rest I keep for myself and deposit it in the bank. I don't buy anything for myself, I just save my earnings and give the rest to them. Do you think that I'm a bad daughter because I don't give all of my earnings, even if life is hard these days?

You are not a bad daughter, I believe you should give your parents something towards rent and utilities as they are on low incomes themselves, but even that should not come to more than 25% of salary and buy your own food, that's what I did when at home with my parents.

in my tradition, the first salary usually goes to the parents. but now, it varies from family to family. but giving everytime you receive your salary is way too kind of you. unless of course there was an arrangement that you should. in case you are the bread winner (which actually looks like it), it's not selfish to keep some for yourself. if you intend to spend it on something useful, then go. you're not a bad daughter, enjoy your salary. you earned it.=)

you're a filipina thats why you feel like that... it is natural on our culture that were going to give what we can to our parents but that doesnt mean its your forever obligatiion... i felt that too before and even now... atleast you didnt forget to give them even a little money...
you're not a bad girl mate! you're just doing the right thing... you should also think of yourself... you have to earn money for your future too... so dont worry, you are not bad infact youre a responsible daughter... coz you didnt forget to help your parents../ goosluck and have a nice day...

The fact that you are giving them a share of your salary every payday already means that you are a good daughter. Probably you only need to explain to them that you are building your savings for the future.

Well i think your parents are very fortunate to have a daughter like you. In this world who cares for their parents. Not even when they are very rich. They are engaged in their own world. Moreover you are saving for your future which is very important for you and they would also love to know that you are not overspending.

You are a good person dont sweat it. Saving is good because that is what helped me when I decided to go out on my own.

I used to live with my Aunt and it is as if everyone sat down waiting on my money. I would buy food and by the next day everything has been consumed. I got fed up and just moved out. Now if I dont have any food I just deal with it and dont worry. You will make it girl youhave the right heart.

God bless

yes but at 21 she is an adult herself. She should be contributing to expenses some...just not all of her salary. Parents should be helping her to be independent from them for they won't always be their to provide for her. She should not be obligated to provide for her nor her for them. It should be fair

no, not really. as long as you pay for your room and board as well as your food, you are allowed to keep some of your money that you make...thats my opinion anyways!

No, of course not, you are giving them some, and Im sure that they understand that you need to get ahead in life too..You cannot do anything like that without any money.
