Well, I would definitely do what my father asked me to do if he said it in a loving way, with kindness and compassion.

Did you not read the OPs post properly?

I agree, our parents did a lot for us when bringing us up, but what makes that bond the most strongest is love and compassion, not a sense of duty. Being a mother myself, I love doing things for my daughter, cuz when she smiles at me and hugs me, it makes it all worth it… I would probably go crazy if she kept yelling at me and was not expressing her love.

Relationships are not strong if they are based on just a sense of duty and gratefulness, there has to be love involved.

Well said.
