Is it what's normal or dito lang talaga sa Pilipinas "required" ang mga ganitong bagay?

Ayoko magsalita ng tapos pero gusto ko kasi pag nagkaanak ako, hindi nila maramdaman na dapat nila akong bayaran sa lahat ng pagdudusa ko habang pinalalaki ko sila.

I don't like it when parents tell their children na dapat silang bumawi sa kanila. I mean, obligasyon ba nila yun? Hindi ba choice nila yun? Hindi ba dun makikita kung napalaki mo ng maayos yung anak mo? Kung kahit di ka humingi eh binibigyan ka pa rin?

Is it just me or are other people like that too?

dito lang sa pinas ata merong ganyang magulang tama? iba iba talaga ang magulang, dapat marealize din nila na kapag may sarili ka ng buhay, you should work for yourself na lalo na kapag magsesettle down ka na, dapat kasiyahan na ng magulang na makita nya ang anak nya na kayang buhayin ang sarili nya, hindi dapat na tumanda ang anak na trabaho ng trabaho dahil nagbabayad sila ng "utang" sa parents nila.

Hindi mo obligasyon na buhayin ang magulang mo pero dahil magulang mo sila at mahal mo syempre tutu long ka sa kanila, sa side naman ng pagiging magulang Marami diyan di pinag aral ang anak dahil di kaya, pero yung iba ginapang talaga para makapagtapos ang anak. Ako nag iisa kong anak nag working student ako para maka pagtapos Hindi ako umasa sa  magulang ko pero di ko naisip na bakit ko kailangan silang tulungan. Ang Sagot diyan dahil magulang ko sila at mahal ko sila at bukod pa dun maikli Lang ang Buhay. Saka di naman siguro sinabing buhayin bakit invalido na ba magulang mo tulungan siguro di ka naman siguro gigipin ng magulang mo Kung wala ka tlagang maibibigay. Marunong ka lang tumanaw ng untangle na loob. :) saka maganda Balik saiyo pag ikaw ay nakakatulong sa kapwa lalo pa Kung magulang, magiging magulang ka din lahat ng pananaw mo magbbago rin.

hindi sya obligasyon but for all the help they gave me, I would not think twice of helping them too. Since they devote their time and strength to give me a good life siguro its may chance naman to help them para maenjoy din nila life. kasi sino sino pa ba magtutulungan kundi magkakapamilya. also, by helping my parents I think I am giving a good example to my kids. plus, the more you give, the more blessings you will enjoy.
Sisses, give this App a test and make me happy. :)

Tumulong is okay. Pero yung obligasyon. That's the idea I don't like.

Syempre kapag naging magulang ka, hindi ba dapat ikaw may obligasyon sa anak mo kasi inilabas mo sila sa mundo eh?

Pero yung hingin mo as utang na loob sa mga anak mo yung mga bagay na ginawa mo para sa kanila mula nung maliit pa sila, hindi ko alam pero normal ba talaga yun sa mga pamilya?

Magiging ganon din ba ako pag naging magulang na ako? Ayoko kasi maging ganong uri ng magulang. Gusto ko kasi kapag napagtapos ko na mga anak ko eh kaya ko pa ring mabuhay ng wala sila, yung hindi ako aasa. Kung tutulungan nila ako, edi thank you. Pero kung hindi, ayos lang rin.

Dito sa Pilipinas, we live by utang na loob and bayad utang. So a lot of families think na dapat kapag napatapos ka ng parents mo, ikaw naman ang umako ng responisbilities.

In my family we dont live by that. My mom is very much capable of sustaining her lifestyle kahit na umupo lang sya everyday being that she is a US pensioner. But I will still choose to look after my mom and take care of her as she grows old not because of gratitude but because of love. I wouldnt want anyone else to do that, not even my other siblings, but me.

walang obligasyon ang anak sa magulang, as parents it's their responsibility na buhayin at bigyan ng education ang mga anak nila. Nasa mga anak na yon if they wanted to pay it forward.
I also agree on one of our sisses here, pag nagkaanak din ako I will not force my child na magkaron ng responsibilidad samin ng hubby ko.
i would love to love you like you do to me....

Hindi Obligasyon, tama ka choice ang pagbawi ng anak sa magulang.... Pero may point na dapat nga naman makabawi ka man lang sa lahat ng paghihirap sayo. Kasi nung pinanganak tayo, may 2 choice ang parents natin,una- alagaan at buhayin ka, pangalawa- itapon ka nalang sa kalsada or ipaampaon(nakikita naman natin sa TV). Sa case natin, pinili nila yung una.

Put yourself into your parent's shoes. Kung ikaw, matanda na at lahat ng anak mo may asawa na, walang gustong mag alaga sayo, anong mararamdaman mo? Tapos sasabihin sayo ng mga anak mo na, ma, kelangan ko ring mag raise ng family ko...  ::) And the term is not bayaran, its pagtanaw ng utang na loob...(filipino value)  ;D

I've seen many, and I mean many, na yung mga anak nila pinapabayaan nalang yung mga magulang... 75 years old na, sila padin ang kumakayod,...  O kaya naman nilagay nalang sa home for the aged, Siguro sa mga ganitong times, dapat ang anak naman ang magsakripisyo kahit konti, :D  But again it's a CHOICE..  ;)
whatever.... ;)

i see.. so most of us agree that it's the child's choice kung tutulungan ba nila o hindi yung magulang. at least now i know na walang mali sa iniisip ko.

salamat mga sis! ;D

btw, i help around the house too. i mean nagbibigay din ako sa magulang ko every sweldo. pero ayun nga lang kasi parang sinasabi ng magulang ko na responsibilidad ko yun dahil sila nagpalaki sakin. they don't directly say it, pero alam mo yun.. sa tipo ng pananalita nila ganun na rin meaning nun.

of course i have no problem with helping them. pero ang ayoko lang e yung isusumbat sakin yung mga bagay na ginagawa nila for me ngayon. e ang sakin naman, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it. pero if you want to do it, make sure na hindi mo isusumbat sa akin sa huli. kasi parang ang pakiramdam ko tuloy eh pera pera na lang usapan.

so i made a promise na pag ako nagkapamilya, hinding hindi ko ipaparamdam sa mga anak ko na kelangan nila bilhin yung pagmamahal ko.

  • Destiny is the bridge you build to the one you LUV
Buhayin? No
Tulungan ? Yes

It is indeed a filipino value yung "utang na loob" but sa akin as a parent your obligation automatically is to give your offspring a good life. But to ask in return or demand is not right. Hindi ka naman manganganak because you want somebody to take care of you when you are older. I would never obligate my son to help me with my retirement. Yung retirement is your own responsibility. Nasa anak ko na if he wants to help us.

I know somebody na yung parents niya nag dedemand talaga kasi nandito sila sa US pero nahihirapan sila kasi meron din siyang family dito. In that case I would never want to burden my son or offspring, ayoko din maghihirap anak ko because of me.

hay nako sis meisaia, ganyan din mga parents ko lahat sinusumbat. paro Ganun talaga eh, may karapatan sila.... Dumarating kasi tayo sa stage ng life na natatakot na tayong masabihang walang silbi.... Yung kay Erik Erikson yung stage ng generativity vs. stagnation... Andun na siguro yung mga parents natin... We just have to understand.... :D
whatever.... ;)

well they're still working. actually we all are working... except my dad na pasarap lang sa buhay ang alam. :P

i also know i can do nothing about it kasi ganon na sila eh. i just need to learn from them. and that is never to be like that. tama yung sinabi ni sis, hindi ka naman nag-anak para may katulong ka sa bahay eh.

pero i know some people na ganun. those people na talagang sinasabi pa, "ok tong maraming anak. para maraming mag-aalalag sa amin pagtanda na"

saving up talaga ang pinakaimportanteng gawin. para atleast sa retirement, hindi mafeel ng mga future anak ko na obligado silang alagaan ako.

It's not an obligation pero for me, appreciation ko na 'yun for everything that my parents did for me.

True na hindi dapat inoobliga ang anak na magbigay sa parents especially kung may own family na at stable naman 'yung parents, pero masarap sa feeling nila 'yun na nakakaalala tayo magbigay. Sabi nga ng mom ko sa'kin, they don't expect me to give them something but when I do daw, tuwang tuwa daw sila kahit 500 pesos lang 'yun from me kasi it shows na I care and I'm thankful for everything. It's kind of my way of "repaying" them sa ilang taon na pinag-aral, pinakain at inalagaan nila ako.

Obligasyon nga ng parents natin na buhayin at pag-aralin tayo pero hindi nila tinalikuran 'yung obligasyon na 'yun and that's definitely something to be thankful for. :)

We always say to ourselves na pagtumanda tayo ayaw nating maging burden sa mga anak natin.
Me too kaya nga we are working hard and saving for our heydays eh...

But as a daughter and daughter in law napakasarap na tumulong,
to appreciate,ang magbigay it's not the value that really matters..
But it's showing our love in such a way that we want them to live comfortably.
Me and my husband think this way because sa tingin namin napalaki kami ng maayos.
We knew how our parents sacrifice for us..
So it's giving back,not bayad utang na obligado ka...
It's up to you if you will obliga yourself,and shoulder everyhting
and spoiled them to the extend na maputol ang pisi mo...

So it's a choice,and as pinoys it runs to our culture...
and of course ang kagustuhan mo bilang isang anak...
I'm living my life the way I want!

Nakita ko kasi kung gaano kabuti ang mommy ko as a mother, and as a daughter to my grandma. kaya as a daughter, i do the same. i take care of my kids and take care of my parents & in-laws. although minsan masama ang loob ko pag in-laws  ;D

gusto ko sagot mo kirsi, hindi lahat ng anak lumaki sa iisang estado ng buhay. dapat i-consider yun. hindi ka naman magiging obligado kung alam mo na may sariling income ang magulang mo even when they retire. pero kung nakikita mo magulang mo na mamamatay na sa gutom, maiisip mo pa ba mga bagay na ganyan? e kung ganyan din kaya naisip nila dati nung sanggol ka pa lang? asan ka na ngayon?

kaya lang naman nasasabi ng tao na obligasyon ang isang bagay, dahil mabigat sa kalooban nila na gawin yun. pwede mo sya ihalintulad sa paghuhugas ng sarili mong pwet pagkatapos mong tumae (sorry for the term).

yung lang po.. ^^

Well for me, the reason why I really study hard is because I want to provide my mom the good life after I graduate and get a job. I know how she really tries hard to give us what we want and what we need. Quality education, safety, konting luho, etc. Gusto ko ibigay sa kanya yung magandang buhay na hindi naibigay ng tatay ko sa kanya. Siguro I'll provide her with everything that she needs habang single pa ako. But I think she would understand what my priorities would be pag nagkaroon na ko ng sarili kong family.

Mother here. It's unfair to put that obligation to your kids. The parents' obligation is bring them up properly and train them to be self-sufficient. Ang mga anak naman kasi tutulong at tutulong yan lalo na sa oras ng gipit pero unfair na ipasa sa kanila ang mga obligation ng mga magulang. Kasi parang ginagawa mong investment ang pag-aanak pag ganon. We, Filipinos, do not value that kind of dignity unlike Canadians, for example, they don't feel right na umasa sa iba (whether anak or hindi). Parang wala ka naman daw dignidad. Kaya tayo 3rd world country pa rin hanggang ngayon.

parent's with lower class mentality are mostly the ones who obligate kids to give back sabi nga don't have kids if you can't raise them or afford them. one psychotherapist's response to a more revolting scenario was  'you don't give life to someone to take back anything from them. doing that is absurdly wrong.' no different to when a good deed is asked to be paid back because of utang na loob, di naman nababayaran yung utang na loob, best said in Color Purple "Everything you done to me already done to you"  and Newton's third law of motion.  You give  not because you're burdened to but because you wholeheartedly want to even if it's only as little as you can.
