I have a strong opinion about Indian parents. Why do they take their children as their future retirement plan just because of inherited responsibilities and pressure from parents most people in India can not follow what they wanted to do and have to settle for something that does the job. I don't get the concept of parents not working and having their child earn for the entire family when they are capable of working. whereas the western society is quite the opposite, and we like to push them down all the time, and youngsters tend to pick up some very niche habits done by them, not everything. The non-working attitude tends to depression, cognitive decline, and loss of identity in adults, backed by neurological research. The misinterpretation of the religion makes this a standard, and people don't get the difference. There is even a reference: Bhagavad Gītā 3.35. It does state abt (seva) into slavery. I mean, support your child, let him do his thing. If he gets successful, then you're all retired. And here I am not talking about mentally or physically challenged people, which still leaves a big chunk of the population described as above Only 37% of urban Indians are financially dependent on their families post-retirement, with 81% of these depending on their children for financial support. A 2019 HSBC report found that 55% of Indian parents financially support their adult children, indicating ongoing financial interdependence within families. Logical and rational opinions are appreciated.

Imagine complaining to take care of your own parents who literally did everything just so you could have a better life.

Bro there are some families who carry forward their emi to their children and their kids are life long doomed just by paying emi's which potentially closes doors to pursue their passion. there's this "what would society think if my kid does differently than others?" which has to change. people who killed their dreams for the sake of parents and society are suffering rn.

This is the conversation Indian families desperately need but won't have. The "beta will take care of us" mentality is killing an entire generation's dreams. My engineering friends wanted to be artists, writers, musicians - but family pressure forced them into IT jobs to "support the family."

The statistics are eye-opening. 81% depending on children is unsustainable when birth rates are declining and cost of living is exploding. We're heading toward a demographic crisis where 1-2 kids will support 4-6 elderly people. The math doesn't work.

The mental health aspect is real. I've seen so many young adults in therapy because they feel trapped between their dreams and family obligations. The guilt, resentment, and lost identity create long-term psychological damage that affects relationships and career growth.
