No. And any decent parent would not guilt or manipulate their kid(s) in to doing so. Unfortunately, my "loving christian" dead mother would play her mother card soo much when she was dying of cancer. And the guilt caused both of us (her daughters) to get back in contact with her and help her. As a terrible mother, she did not deserve the help. She continued to abuse my sister all throughout the help she was receiving. My sister is finally in therapy and dealing with the psychological scars now that the bch is dead. Would you say two adult kids that had endured a LIFETIME of abuse, not so much parenting, have obligations to said parental figures?? If yes, congrats you have internalized bullshit religious teachings. The brainwashing is strong in you.

Thanks for Commenting y'all. To clear things up, Because I feel like some people misinterpret what my post was about(A good Chunk of it was me because of Specifics)

• I see a lot of people pointing out that the Obligation is not there because they didn't choose to be Born. That's not what I meant. I should have Specified what I meant, I Apologize. What I was meaning by the Post was pointed towards Who Raised the Child or If they were even Raised at all. That's Why I added Guardian. Because I understand that Not every Parent accepts the Responsibility of taking care of that Child.
• My intial answer to the question was pointed towards if the parents take their Responsibility in their hands. Parents are also not Obligated to take care of their children. We see that with Absent Fathers, Abusers, Neglect, Foster homes, etc. That's another reason Why I added Guardian. But if parents want to accept responsibility and take care of their children, then yes, Children should help out some.
• I stated that the child should "Help Out" not take care. It is up to the person if they wanna take care of their Parents when they're Old. Most people of Old age can still do a lot of things on their Own, but if they need assistance, That is where the Son/Daughter comes in to Help.
  With different Stories and Upbringings among individuals, It's Hard to get 1 answer with this Topic. It's a Yes and a No. It usually depends on what kind of Parent or Guardian they were? Did they take care or did they Abuse? Did they Neglect or tend to the Children? Etc. It's not a definite answer, but it's a good question none the less...

Depends on how you raised them and what they’ve grown to believe.
I’ve spent some time in Japan and it’s largely a societal expectation.
I prefer that over social security though.

It's generally a pay it forward thing I think, but if you did a good job raising them you shouldn't have to ask. In 3rd world countries with no aged care (does that include US?) it's expected that the children will support the parents. It's part of their culture. What does that say about us?

Yup my kids do

That's a big depends...
