Is it reasonable for parents to expect that their children will support them financially during their old age, until they die?

People I know have become what I call Tita syndrome like the movie Como Agua para Chocolate. Titata is the youngest sister among three sisters and is expected to give up the possibility of marrying and her own child looking after her dominant mother. Of her two older sisters, older people are better suited for this fate, but it is not a problem for mothers. This led to the pain of a man whom she loved with Tita for many years.

When I was 16 years old, when I entered the top 10% of the class, my mother was retiring from school and threatening to go to work. I challenged her to try this and I was shot in the dark because I do not know if she has the legal right to do so. I have not heard a different word about it, so I do not know whether she tried this (if someone is reading this article, tell me if it was legal in the second half of the 20th century please). She thinks I am a potential eating ticket. My brother could not take care of her economics, so during my college years I ran from my mother's house to escape this fate. We have no sisters.

If you are abused by your parents, even if you can do so without sacrificing your own life, you should deny the legal or moral obligation to support them is.

At the family level, parents will tell their children that if they do not study what their parents expect of them, they will no longer financially support them. At the government level, if you lived abroad for a long time, the government will threaten to cease offering financial support to you. At the company level, management alone will threaten you by merely growing beards freely. Finally, we seem to have many choices in our lives, but our culture only opens several different paths, then we have to choose these paths. It is difficult to create your own lifestyle with your own needs, goals, and desires. Our culture can always tell us how we should live our lives.

METHOD: GOBankingRates examined 263 parents of children over the age of 18. They were asked about: Do you want your child to receive economic assistance after retirement or are you retired and financially assisted by your child now? Parents can choose one of the four answers: 1) Yes, I hope that they can give me sufficient financial support; 2) Yes Yes, I need them I hope that we can provide economic support accordingly; or 4) No, I do not want my child to receive financial support. Parents were also asked the following questions: How much is your family's average income? Are you raised in the United States? How many children are there? Are you planning to live with your child at retirement age, or are you living with your child now? Where does your child grow in the United States?
