All grown up
What if your parents acted like kids and you had to be the "adult" of the family. like cooking taking care of the children things the parents should do. what would you do? just leave the home and forget them and not worry about what will happen to your siblings or parents? or stay and be unhappy and overworked?

I would stay and be unhappy. I would rather take care or my siblings and my parents than wonder if they were okay. Either way you would probably be miserable because if you stay you will have to take care of everyone but if you leave you will always be worried and guilty that you did not stay and take care of them.
ReplyDeleteI think it would depend on the situation. If my parents were completely irresponsible and just didn't care, then I would probably leave. I would definitely try and care for my siblings as much as I could and try to get them out of the situation. But for me I'm a very independant person. I think there has to come a time when you have a certain amount of respect for yourself, to know when your being taken advantage of. As far as the parents go... if they aren't playing the parenting role, then they aren't very good parents. I would still love them of course, but maybe my leaving would show them that they have to grow up.
ReplyDeleteI would stay for a little while probably but I definitely wouldn't stay for a long time. I would want to stay at least until my siblings were old enough to take care of themselves and understand why I was leaving. I wouldn't stay for the rest of my life because no one wants to be unhappy forever. Also at some point you have to live your own life and not your parents'. Otherwise not only will your brothers and sisters expect you to stay but your parents will become even more dependent on you.
ReplyDeleteTo start I can't cook or even take care of myself in the first place, so this really wouldn't work for my family, but if this was the case....Then I would want to stay behind and take care of my siblings. What are they supose to do without you? If you are the ones who has always taken care of them then they need you. Leaving would be like running away from your problems and I dont agree with that. Ya that would be nice but it isnt right. If I were to leave it would be letting down my family so I would stay there and be unhappy if I must.
ReplyDeletewell...thats really hard to say..i would most likely stay and try to help them out. but after awhile it would get very tiring so i would probably leave and stay with one of my friends but still try to care for my siblings.
