Money is not the issue. It is the sense of responsibility that matters. The amount is can be low or high depending on the child ability and the parent needs. Sense of responsiblity that the main.
If you can’t give money, at least give time n help in the housework like mopping the floor and washing toilets as the parents are getting old. Speak with care and respect to them is also important. There are some children who don’t earn so much. However, during our time, I gave half my salary so that they can be comfortable. So it becomes a motivation to earn more and work very hard n frugal. These has made us become very careful n good at managing our income. Guess most of my generation practice filial piety and also most of us become quite well capable in earning n saving money 🎉🎉🎉

It's easy to speak if you're being raised by good parents. Not necessarily rich parents, but parents who treat you well. People who think that there is a high moral ground, like giving allowance is a must, it's the least you can do etc - that's because you are fortunate. For those who are less fortunate, or been raised by bad parents, it's not fair for the parents to expect this and that. Good parents would not expect a fixed amount. In fact, if your child is already burdened by his/her own issues, it's very cruel to think money is all that matters. Good parents wouldn't and shouldn't have to worry if their child will be "fillal" to them.

exactly, what if you are the neglected child? why should you filial piety?
When parents are earning more than you, children are not asked to provide money, this is my case. But I still buy them food or mobile phone and bags for gifts. Most important is I helped house-keeping job whenever I could. This is my love to parents.

Parents work to provide us when we were young till we stop relying them. It's our responsible to give them a little token as they grow older and not working. Also depend on individual if children are earning enough.
If you are staying with your parent. Remember the room you are in can be rent out for $1000 easily. And also all the utilities; food your parents provide. All this are not free. Just give a bit to help them with the stress of living in the world most expensive city. I can be assure; even you don’t give them a cent. They will still love you.
Why do ppl say things like our parents spend so much money on us when we were young, so when we are old, we must repay them? The money I spend on my child are choices I make. I don't see it as a sacrifice because the joy that my child brings me is priceless. It's like I spend money on my dog too but I also don't expect my dog to give me money when I'm old. XD Having a child was my choice and spending on him is also my choice. I don't think it's fair for parents to say things like, "I've spent so much money on you when you were a child" because what could the child do if you had had him? They didn't ask to be born to you.

Well said. I think it's totally flawed and selfish when parents treat kids like a retirement investment and constantly gives pressure even when growing up. And when the child is grown up, all the pressure is on money and giving them money. I wouldn't want my child to bear the burden if I ever have one too.

I agree with u. If u live with parents, then pay for utilities or buy some grocery. If u stay alone, I don’t think there is a must to give
Depends on how much the kid is earning, don't force down an amount down the throat. Some kids are struggling in their life too. Parents if financially well off pls don't force kids to give certain amount.
How much parent spend on children in terms of hosital bill, private GP, tours for some, transport, food, rent free stay, hp, etc just to name a few. Not to mention tuition fees. "Loans" that children never pay back. May easily hit at least $ 30k. The allowance that children pay per month will never be able to pay back. Govt need to make children pay back sort like cpf scheme cos there are some who didnt give. Its ironical that couples dote on children but ignore the needs of the aged parents who care for them. Family planning is very vital. Financial planning is next. Hospitalization planning too.

Suggestion: please interview parents how much is contribution from a child and what they do with the monies. From my knowledge most parents also saved the contribution for their children’s rainy days.

not all parents save for children's rainy day, some when small give as least as possible when growth up take as much as possible like investment
When parents are old and unable to work and have no money, if the children don't support them who will? The old parents after bringing up the kids will die in poverty. This is not a question of whether the children want to give money or not, it is also not a question of filial piety, its a way of paying it forward. If your parents have brought you up well and provided well for you, and you just walk off from their lives. Then you are worse than a dog. And that too, is an understatement.
What is that first yellow guy working as? U know when some parents see someone like that, they'll think it's easy to ask $1000 or $2000 from their kids. Zeobao should go and interview ppl with more varied views. Like ppl from broken families etc. Easy for people to say when they come from a happy family
My son gives me 1300 I didn't ask he gives me how much I take totally don't give cannot abit also ok I still gives my mother and and my husband still gives his parent allowance too
If your parents have more money than you, still need to give? As a parent I won't even take it lol

The boy in green should really reflect on the fact that the parents nowadays spend a lot on education for kids … good luck to his parents. The Malay girl has put it better … it is not money , can give in kind by helping with housework….as a parent I would appreciate it. To the boy in green, it is not sincerity , you need filial piety!!!
Actually, it's true.. money spent on children is not little. From pregnancy to birth, education, studies, everything they used. Some parents not only sacrifice money but also time or give up many things just to spend more time with kids and ensure they grow up well. The guy in green said what children are " insurance." I believe many parents bought insurance policies for their children and to make their children future more secure.

In this life, we have to fulfil the law. There is no way out. But Christ Jesus went to the cross and took our shame and condemnation for failure to meet up. In this life, we have to fulfil the law. In the next life, Jesus is there for you as He is right now with you in your pain and suffering in this life. He went to the cross.
