88,
I agree with you on the point you've made about helping parents. There comes a time when the "kids" have to look after the parents especially in scenarios of old age, major illness, loss of job or income-generating activity, or sometimes just out of love. When I graduated school and started work, I encouraged my mom to cut back on her struggles to earn a living and I would more than top-up the difference for her. After all the struggles she went through to put all of us through school and university, I did not want to see her continue to struggle into her old age when I could comfortably help her.In Kenya if you're old with no income and your kids don't help you, you're on your own and you starve or become a criminal of sorts. No other way out. Very different from North America.
Anyway, let's discuss the other issues that Pastor brought up in his posting.

Pastor - I disagree with you on "Some parents should not be lazy and expect their children to continue taking care of them". My father is 78 if the children leave him to feed his stomach he will die day one. Pastor I cannot eat when this old man is hungry, Hell No.
From: Pastor Absalom Birai <prbirai@gmail.com>Date: Sat, 5 Oct 2013 06:13:44 -0500To: Progressive Kenyans<progressive-kenyans@googlegroups.com>ReplyTo: progressive-kenyans@googlegroups.comSubject: [PK] A reminder to some parents--"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."(Ephesians 6:4)Someone need to remind some parents something very crucial. Which is? That they must learn the best way to deal with their children. How do you mean?1. Some parents are so mean to their children2.Some parents try to force their children to marry someone they don't like or love. Yes, talk to them on the challenges of marriage but let them make their own choice3.Some parents must learn to let their children decide on their careers. Do not force them to do this or that4.Some parents need to know when to leave their children alone. Do not baby sit your grown up children for ever5.Some parents are ever whining and complaining about their children. Come on parents live your own life and leave your children alone6.Some parents must stop bad mouthing their children. Build you children instead of destroying time7.Some parents need to learn how to take care of their bills and leave their children to take care of their own bills. Some parents should not be lazy and expect their children to continue taking care of themAll that is being asked here is fairness and understanding. After so many years of bringing up their children, parents need to come to appoint where they leave their children alone to learn on how to manage their lives. Are you a parent? Does this make sense to you? If you have grown up children, please leave them alone. Will you please?
