  • Essay / Personal Experience in Raising Children - 922

    The bond a child has with their parents can never be matched. The love that a parent gives to their child is priceless. But I believe that children, once grown up, owe nothing to the parents who raised them. I say this because even animals, devoid of reason, give love to their child without needing repayment. I too feel like I raised my brothers and sisters and I can say that they owe me nothing. Finally, a parent must provide their child with care, love and protection from harm. If parents do not raise their child with care, love and protection, it is up to the child to decide whether they will raise their child in the same way or not. Which can influence a child's decision to give something back to their parents. I will start by looking at the animal kingdom. Although we as humans are far superior to animals due to our reasoning, I believe that seeing how animals raise their young can provide an example of why children should not owe their parents anything . Every summer morning we wake up to the sound of birdsong and wish they would be quiet, but these birds are a perfect example of why children don't owe their parents anything. When a bird is born, the mother finds it food, provides it shelter and gives it a sense of protection. Once old enough, the bird attempts to fly away from its nest. If the baby bird falls, the mother is there to pick it up. But unfortunately, there comes a day when the mother bird returns and the former baby bird flies away to take care of itself. The bird's mother may never see her bird again. So who pays the bird for all the care it gave the baby? Person. If a bird expects nothing from its birds then hum...... middle of paper ......e the joy we receive from a child, or a little brother, is so great that as a parent we should in fact, we owe them our love, care and protection. In fact, even that may not be enough, a child's happiness is priceless. This is why the parents and older brother say that the child means everyone to them. In conclusion, an adult child owes nothing to the parents who raised him because: if an animal expects nothing in return for the care given to its babies, we should not ether. I have experience raising my siblings and I wouldn't ask for anything in return. Finally, a parent owes their child care, love and protection from harm, so their child can decide whether they owe their parents anything. For these reasons, I believe that a child owes nothing to his parents but can give something in return through his own will and love..
