In worst case, it called Sandwich Generation. Where a child need to give some of their income for parents but also need to spend it for his/her own family and child. Utang na loob happen almost in all region in SEA. Cuz parents usually live under same house with their children even after they got married and have children, so the parents hoping that their child will take care of them when they're become grandma/grandpa
Thanks for the thoughts. It made me feel better i dont have worries anymore that i put them in an old folks home and am able to live my own life. Sure they put me through university and loaned me a small sum of a million dollars to start my own business, which inevitably failed, but i want to be my own man, live my own life. Am now very successfuk earning six figures thanks to contacts from their friends of friends.
Yeah, this hits too hard since my parents expect me and my siblings to be always be able to support them through their poor financial decisions and act as a safety net when it inevitably goes to shit. It's also a common reason why the population is absurdly high in the PH. Many parents believe that their kids will be able to become successful and pull them out of poverty, so they keep breeding and breeding as a form of investment... Gratitude should be willingly offered, not demanded, otherwise it loses all its meaning. Thanks for the clip. Glad he got to talk about such a topic. Being raised as "emergency funds" is not a kind of fate I could wish on anyone, not even to my worst enemy www.
Also thank you for watching my clip and for leaving a comment 🫶 After reading, what comes to mind is that it seems every country is in one of two extreme states. One is viewing children as an investment and having a high birth rate, while the other is facing declining birth rates and an aging society. However, I'm not sure if this can be considered a problem; it feels like the development of the latter is precisely because of the former.
Ah yes, the idea of some where they'd raise their child/children to be an investment for when they get older instead of actually raising them to be more independent
Perhaps the effort spent guilting your child into supporting you would be better spent by giving them a reason to care for you when they’re old enough to choose to stay or leave
my family is kind of poor but also i feel like we have to work hard to all support each other but sometimes it feels like im the only one who cares ;v; unfortunately they are all extroverts and i am not so i want to go live by myself but i cant afford to do that and also help them. sucks. hope i get rich and famous someday or one of us can marry someone who is! that would fix it lol
It's good to give back when you can but treating it like a transaction where you would be owed something back doesn't make sense. That's especially true in a parent and child context because the child didn't agree to enter into some kind of contract and a parent has greater obligation to their children than the child has to their parent.
OMG💛THANK YOU SO MUCH💛When I have time, I will probably upload the previous clips in English as well. I believe there's still a lot I can improve on, but everyone is so kind that I feel incredibly touched🥹😭
Yeah there's this sad perception that parents raise and educate their children so they grow up to have better jobs and eventually pay them back. Some even (jokingly but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth) call it "investment".
You reminded me that sometimes parents project their own experiences-including successes, unfulfilled dreams, hopes, and regrets-onto their children. I believe it's okay to share personal experiences, both positive and negative, with children as examples. However, this can sometimes lead to parents confusing their experiences with their children's personal lives. Perhaps because parents do not want their children to have regrets like they did, or because they hope their children will follow similar paths, they ended up "investing" various hopes in their children. This is understandable because it's really difficult. Edit: I felt that I hadn't covered some parts adequately, so I rewrote it.
thank you for clicking through to see my clip 🫶 If you don't mind that my previous clip was in traditional Chinese, welcome to check it out! edit: I'm not sure what the current demand is like 🤔 I've been thinking about doing English-only clips lately, but I'm not sure if it's better to put them on the same channel or if I'll have to start a new one. I'll probably start a poll when I have time to see what people think.
Thank you for your sweet complimented 😳 It truly means a lot to me If you don't mind that my usual clips are presented in Traditional Chinese, feel free to continue watching them 🫶 I haven't decided yet whether to regularly include bilingual subtitles in the future 🤔
這裡是不是有人的留言不見了🫠我記得有一個人在問Octalks是要寄到哪去，怎麼就這麼消失惹 Edit: I plan to start uploading English-only clips on this channel in the future, possibly beginning in the summer vacation.
Enna and Ock singing together is already a freaking awesome idea to me. Tayu-sensei joining them? Even more freaking awesome! Also, that reply Ock sent to Enna's reply is freaking good. I get the struggle of overthinking what I write, though, and I think I manage to handle that by remembering to have faith in others as much as in myself.
Hell yeah😎 If it really happens, it will be a masterpiece for the ages Having faith in others as much as in myself is something I need to spend time developing. I'm still struggling with participating in chat conversations; I hesitate to hit send every time, and by the time I'm ready, the topic has already moved on🫠 edit: I also had a little peek at your cover, OMG your voice is incredible🤯
