Eastern & Western Concept of Parenting?

In Asia, the family is tight-knit, it's not uncommon for children to live with their parents till they have finished univerisity, find jobs and work. It is then they support the bulk of the parent's living expenses and everything else.

When they have enough money to buy their own homes, their parents move in with them (or choose between which children they want to live with, however, this duty is usually the eldest child's duty) and they live together in harmony (of course there will always be the bad cases, but this is my point), where the parents are now the children's duty.

In the West, it is much more common to see kids being thrown out of the house when they have reached 18 (In Asia, they are still considered a parent's duty. No good parent in their right mind would throw their children out of the house), or they even pay rent.

I'd like ask, how is it logical for your children not to support you after you've worked your life caring for them?Other opinions will be appreciated too.Eastern %26amp; Western Concept of Parenting?
They are just different, one is not better than another. The eastern people give more support to families. They also expect more from their families. The western people are more individual and independent. I like the eastern concept of supporting a child as much as you can, but it should be based on love and the willingness to give, not because you are preparing him to take care of you in your old days. When you give, just give, don't think about the return. It is your own responsibility to save enough for your retirement, you are not supposed to give till your last penny and then depend the rest of your life on your child. If your child supports you later, it is better to see it as an expression of love, not as a repay for what you gave. If he doesn't, please don't ask whether it is logical he doesn't support you after you've worked your life caring for him. That question will tell him your love for him is conditional, or even worse, there's no love but business, he's just your investment. I like Asian guys very much, but I will think twice to marry somebody whose parents will never see anything they are given as a gift of love, but as a pay back of what they gave.Eastern %26amp; Western Concept of Parenting?
