　　If I could select a word that best describes the majority of American parents, that word would be guilt-ridden (内疚的)．How sad it is to see parents become the willing victims of the “give-me game”， only to discover that, no matter what they do, it isn’t enough.In the end, they are looked down for their lack of firmness and blamed when their spoiled children get into trouble.With this in mind, I shall first answer this question: “What do parents owe their children？”And I shall start with what they don’t owe them.

　　Parents don’t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.They don’t owe round-the-clock car service, singing lessons, tennis lessons, an expensive car when they reach sixteen, or a trip to Europe when they graduate.

　　I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education.If they can afford it, fine.But they need not feel guilty if they can’t.If the children really want to go, they’ll find a way.Here are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who can’t afford to pay.

　　After children marry, their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture.They do not have an obligation to baby-sit their grandchildren when the parents were on vacation.If they want to do it, it must be considered a favour, not an obligation.
