Like you have said,this pattern has been for long. Parents do their best to ensure their children become great in life. The essence of this efforts is to make the children take care of them when they are old.
However, it is also a responsibility of a child to take care of his or her parents at old age.
Meanwhile,some parents can be selfish to pressure the child to do what they want and not want the child has passion for. This is wrong and every parent should desist from that.
Well done for your deep thought and happy weekend to you and yours 💕
