As the child of my parents, even though I am married with my husband and we live in our new house, our parents always want to help us with something, for instance, cooking, cleaning the house and other things.

In our parents’ view, no matter how old we are, we are always  their children. In our childhood, parents gave us too many things, too much time, too much money, too much energy to raise us.

They still want to give their whole life to us, which is something only they want to do, not us.

In our opinion, we got married, which means we are adults. We want to live independently. And it’s the time to switch roles in life.

We should take care of our parents, no matter what we can do for them, for instance, preparing the passport or going through the process of travel preparation and so on.

We can understand our parents’ love but in our situation we want our parents to have a rest and enjoy the rest of their life. We will provide for them.
