Treating our parents

''Treat your parents. Your children will take care of you."

According to a Jataka story, a child sees his mother and father feeding their elderly father like an animal in an old dish.When the son grows up and takes care of the father, the son sees what the father has done and does to the father what he did to the grandfather. He takes Grandpa's old plates and feeds Dad like an animal.

Every child born into this world has a mother and a father. The unborn child becomes a human being under the loving care of the parents. From an early age, both parents do all the work, including loving and caring for the child.Sometimes a mother or father has to take care of their children alone.

Today, there are many children who are taken care of by one of their parents.We must do our duty to them to the extent that they endure that effort and suffering to feed us.

What are the responsibilities of parents?

As parents, we, the children, are responsible for providing food, shelter, and medicine for our children, whether they are lovingly cared for from an early age or not. But unfortunately, there are more children who keep their parents as laborers in their own homes to take care of their children for the selfish needs of the mother. Or there may be competition between siblings to take care of their parents only if they have a retirement salary or other income.And bringing their own parents into nursing homes.This is because they see their parents as a nuisance.

In addition, parents should be respected regardless of their religion or occupation. Parents work hard to turn their children into doctors, engineers, or other professionals. Most children respect their adoptive parents, but for some it is a shame to go out with their parents.

Children also need to be kind, loving and caring, not disgusted with their feelings, not neglecting or hurting them in any way. Changes in children due to aging can quickly put a lot of stress on parents.
