Moral duty to parents

studentphil

So how exactly are you meant to balance caring for your aging parents who require your money to have a happy life and the wish to have your own life?

I really just do not know how you can not do both.

Get a job.
Move out.
Visit and help them out when you can.

I am being completely serious, how can you do both?

There is no need to be mad or annoyed.

1. get your degree
2. get a job
3. get your own life
4. support your parents (not necessarily financially)

GET OFF THIS FORUM AND DO SOME WORK!!!!

I'm not going to try and help you anymore - I have far better things to do with my time.

Give them your student loan money if they need it that desperately - then pay it back when you're earning.

Only not in any meaningful way that counts.

Get a decent job - it's not impossible (although in your case going on your behaviour here you'll find it hard). You'll be strangled by the watercooler on your very first morning.
