Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system? - Lemmy.world

My Y daughter is doing well, maybe it will be shitty for her to buy a house or condo but she can. My Z one, yeah, I’m helping her, paying stuff here and there like groceries, microwave, etc, she’s in her own flat and all and is not too bad but still, rent is 40% of her earning. It’s ok to help your kids.

I absolutely agree! It’s not a competition, we are all living in the same world with the same problems.

Families are at the centre of any society. Families function best when they help each other out. Parents are meant to sacrifice to help their children, just as their adult children should sacrifice later in life to help them.

Having been put in a situation where I had to physically care for my grandma while she lost her faculties and slowly died, I don’t think children (or any other descendants) sacrificing later in life to help parents is a good thing. If I could show you what a day of that was like, I think you might agree, but I wish it on no one.
