rohaan: Our being here was not our decision--it was parents. .... Now, on the other hand, I do owe my grandparents the universe. They were my heroes.
As I implied, every case is different. My situation was polarized. My grandfather was great, but not my grandmother. She was nice, but she abandoned my grandfather, which I never accepted. He had polio when he was a child. He was the most fair man I've ever knew. I do my best to emulate him in every way, with respect to fairness. Same for my mother and father, but my mother was the good person, dad just abandoned the family, even though they never divorced (he just had mistresses that everybody knew about, and money that should have gone to the family, went elsewhere, so we grew up as if we were very poor).So no, nobody owes their parents.

Does anyone agree?
The Bible speaks about "honouring" one's parents, and whilst the act involves some sort of recompense, a particular amount was not mentioned. Who can put a value on what parents have to spend/do/endure to raise their children? Loving them, and taking care of their needs as they age would be enough, I think. Does anyone agree?
Besides, it was probably only referring to 'good parents'.
Btw, both of my parents, and all of my grandparents are dead, but my father was the only one I knew that I wouldn't have lost sleep over honouring/owing.

I owe my parents a debt I can never pay. My only wish is there is a place after death so I can tell them how great they were. Despite their own issues, they gave me all they could. They always put me first. Taught me, loved me, cared for me and feared for me.
What did I give them..love. And attitude, stupid childishness, worry. I retired at 58. My farm is what my dad worked his life for and he and mom provided it to care for me for my life. My life is easy thanks to them and their sacrifices.
How many times I wish I could tell them things. Show them my successes. Ask them advice. Call mom and say how do I cook that? Ask dad, how do I build that. And tell them, you know..you were right. Now I know.
Like that saying, how smart my parents got after I grew up.

I think we should go with your idea as a replacement for the pension system. A survival of the fittest parents, woe to those whose kids don't want to see them.

A bit of conservative shock therapy to restore the family to what it was. It's the only way to rebuild. And if you still insist on messing up your life then you'll have to become a Catholic, let a Catholic priest live like a pauper to save you from the gutter. They are the kindest, most charitable of the religious bunch.
