Yes, providing for one’s parents is a child’s responsibility, BOTH for sons and daughters. And if being away from them for a time is necessary, then so be it. But neither the relationship with the parents nor the relationship with the wife/children should be given more importance than the other - both should be treated equally and supported similarly according to their needs.

That’s what I have been saying all along.

@TLK

Tell that to desi husbands.

I have seen them building houses for parents in Pakistan, while their own wife and kids are living in one bedroom apartment in USA. I know a guy whose parents house is loaded with latest appliances in Pakistan, while for his own wife, he bough an old beat-up washer dryer from Craigslist that broke down in week.

I think we are discussing whats the right thing to do and not about those losers that you have mentioned. I also know few like that.

On the other hand I also know about of families where parents do not have enough to survive and here their wife, kids and they themselves are driving latest cars, buying everything “Nike” and getting new phone every second year and not to mention LED TVs (yeah not LCD coz that so yesterday). Their begum’s views are k “jub un ka time tha tu kuch bachaya nahi, aab hum keyun apna time zaya kareen”
