Parents don't owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.They don't owe round­the­clock 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 babysit their grandchildren when the parents were on vacation.If they want to do it, it must be considered a favour, not an obligation.

　　In my opinion, parents do not owe their children an inheritance, no matter how much money they have.One of the surest ways to produce a loafer is to let children know that their future is assured.

　　Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.

　　One of their chief obligations is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self­esteem is the basis of a good mental health.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal belongings.

　　No child asks to be born.If you bring a life into the world, you owe the children something.And if you give him his due, he'll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.
