Do children owe their parents?
This is something I have given deep thought to, and as someone who has a fairly healthy relationship with my incredibly loving and understanding parents, the answer is no.
Here's a thread why.

- . Mum was a widow of an abusive marriage and with a 5 yo son (my brother) . Dad was in his 40s committed to being a bachelor. Aunt wanted dad to find a companion, so she wrote an emotional letter. He was moved, agreed to marry, but only if the girl was a widow/divorcee....contd..Do most people know how their parents met?
- Men will get into a cab at night alone, sleep & wake up when they reach Women get into a cab, send live location to 5 ppl, call someone & loudly inform the cab number + ETA, map the route + track & be HYPER vigilant because we fear getting r*ped + k*lled But, shit, not all men.
- MOSt cRiMes haPpeN aGaInSt MeN ๐คก๐คก๐คก Who is committing these crimes buddy? Who?Replying to @livetime_feFeeling unsafe and actually being unsafe are two different things. Most crimes happen against men. Men are 3/4 times more likely to end up murdered during that night. So, your very first sentence is without any basis.
- Replying to @livetime_feShe's skeptical and asks why a man wants to marry a widow (it was 1986). Dad says her being a widow is not her fault, she deserves happiness. They fall in love, and the same day decide to get married. It's been 38 years and he's more in love with her now than ever.
00:00 - Replying to @livetime_feAnd since this blew up. I just wanna say that my dad is such a romantic soul. He loves my mom loud and proud. He will go sit with her and kiss her and say "my wife", randomly massage her head, do every act of service possible, even to this day.
- Great now I don't know if I'm horny or hungry.
- Replying to @livetime_fe... Aunt finds a match (which happens to be my mum who finally accepted to get married since brother was 12 now). Meanwhile, the same day my dad receives a telegram from a cousin who has never written to him before, with a match. Surprise surprise, it's my mum....contd..
- Replying to @livetime_feFor those who want a little more detail, dad was single handedly taking care of my bed ridden grandfather. He got both his sisters married, and decided that it would be unfair to anyone to come as a new bride with expectations and be burdened with his responsibility. +=
- Most Indian men shouldn't get married because their mothers haven't learnt how to let go of their sons.
- Guys my mom just tucked my dog in for his afternoon nap and I am dying
- Replying to @livetime_feDad is like "holy shit this is too freaky to be a coincidence". He's posted in Delhi, so he takes a train down to Chennai to meet my mum. He asks my grandfather if he can take her out on a date, and then they spend the day together. Mum has only one question....
