Parents support

We all grow up under the shelter of our parents.

what is the best age to start life by our own?

and what was your age when you became independent and start supporting your parents.

Re: Parents support

it wl vary for every individual depending on various factors. however a sense of independence should be there from an early age,

Re: Parents support

There is no best age, there’s a best time - when you start earning yourself. I’m 22 and still dependant on my parents. Once I start earning myself, that’s when I will be able to live an independent life.

However, if you’re earning enough at <18 years of age, you should really stay with your parents unless you’re hit-girl.

Re: Parents support

the earliest the better...!!!

Re: Parents support

Re: Parents support

I also completed my education at the age of 21 and right after that start working full time, even though my father was passed away when I was 18.

**aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww....i'm sorry to hear about ur loss...May Allah BLESS his soul and grant him the highest echelon in the heaven...aameen

u must have had a very riugh time dealing with your dad's passing away and trying to finish ur education. i'm glad that you did well...God Bless you...aameen**

Re: Parents support

Aameen.

Re: Parents support

This must have made you and your family much stronger although its very very difficult. May Allah Swt provide your dad the best place in Jannah.

Children who have lost their fathers early on have no other choice but to be independent as early as possible. I had been helping my dad in his business since the age 17 and continued to work after he passed away. My younger bro was just 17 when we lost our dad and since then he has been working full time along with completing his studies. So we have no other choice but to work and be independent.

**i'm asorry to hear about ur loss...May Allah BLESS his soul and place him in Jannat ul Firdaus...aameen

r u the oldest son/daughter in your family? if yes, then i can understand how pressing the needs are and how the oldest child becomes the head of the family and accepts, with a smiling face, all the responsibilities that come with it.**

Re: Parents support

Thanks for your prayers. Ameen.

Yes I am the oldest child. And I feel the responsibilities to such an extent that I cannot even cry in front on my mom or my younger siblings as they can get hurt and torn, and I had even delayed my marriage because of my responsibilities, but I do not have any regrets and it gives me satisfaction to see my younger siblings now settled in their lives. So yes the oldest child has to face all the responsibilities and they are fortunate if they have young siblings who know their responsibilities.

Re: Parents support


**i'm really glad that you have fulfilled ur obligations with Husn. you have done what was expected of you. i know you have sacrificed a lot and your rewards are with God almighty, inshaa Allah.

yes, i agree with you that seeing ur siblings settle nicely in life and ur mom happy with what you did is very satisfying and rewarding. May Allah bless you for that...aameen

there is a famous phrase in Farsi..."der aayad, durust aayad"...urdu meN "der aaye, durust aaye". inshaa Allah, u'll soon get married to someone who is worthy of you...aameen :)**

Re: Parents support

Ameen :) Thanks

Re: Parents support

Allah will grant him higher status in jannah.

as an orphan, we have lot of soft corner from Allah because He listens the need/prayer of orphan directly.

Re: Parents support

started living on my own just before i turned 17. living on my own meant away but not financially independent
became financially independent at 26 after I finished my MBA
dont financially support them, because they make more than me as it is, but at times when there was a need i stepped in

Re: Parents support

Ameen. But this world is cruel and I have seen such changed faces of people (relatives to be more precise) after my father's death. We can only pray that we are able to survive in this cruel world.
