I think you raised very good points. There was a time when I had to put my foot down and Allah ka shukr hai..living independtly taught me so much about life and made me so much more responsible. With that said, i can understand..my parents dependent upon me when they are old and can’t work at all. But in the case when parents CAN work or do business..when they rely on their son(s)..to me this is the problem.
