I don't get along with either of my parents, although I am pretty much paying all my dad's bills. I have good reason to feel the way I do. I would choose my children. Not because of the problems I have with my own parents, but because when you marry and have children, you form your own family, and are responsible for caring for them. I will support my children both monetarily and emotionally until the day I draw my last breath. It is my honor, priveledge, and duty as a mother.

I would never disappoint my children in the ways my mother and father have disappointed me. But alas, because they were as they are with me, it has made me into a better mother.

I think you have to understand that all cultures are different, i don't know of ANYONE who supports their parents.
I would choose my kids because they are unable to support themselves but my parents are quite capable of supporting themselves.
I also don't think it's right to expect your kids to take care of you when you're old & grey, you shouldn't expect your kids to let you live with them - you have kids, they grow up, move out & have their own families, then the cycle starts again!
I think it's fine if you're in a culture that has parents living with their kids when their old but where i am, your parents usually just do their own thing & stay in their own home once you've moved out.
