Re: Seriously…this whole supporting the parents business!
Parents should be your priority but your spouse should be your priority too right. Can’t it go hand in hand? Why do people have this constant need to create a hierarchy of such precious relationships.
Your points are valid and I can’t imagine me or my husband not supporting our parents. But it leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth when one claims “my parents are my priority or my primary responsibility and you come second.” Why can’t they all be at the same level? It’s like saying I love one child more than the other…parental and marital relationships are both such precious relationships and should be given their due equal importance.
