Like exasperation said, I feel I owe it to them to make considerate Christmas gifts, call often to socialize with them even if some days I’d rather be playing video games, etc.
And, some people probably don’t feel that obligation because their parents didn’t respect them or help them grow up well.
Legally, no. Morally? Probably. I try to take care of my parents, and make their lives easier where I can, when I can, to try to at least somewhat alleviate how I’ve made their lives harder at earlier stages in life.
Do you also believe you have a debt to your parents that needs to be repaid?
My parents will never make up for forcing me to exist on earth. I pay a terrible price each day so they could have their precious dopamine hit.
Next time smoke, inject, injest, or boof methamphetamines and leave me the fuck out of it.
