Who are Parents

Parents are selfless beings; they ought to be. They spend their life ,money & efforts with care & affection towards their children. And they remain loving & selfless till their end. Those who are contrary to this are not fit to be called parents.
I know a family living close my house wherein the son is out of job for the last 6 months due to the economic recession. His wife works as a clerk in a small company. they have 3 school going children. They have no property worth telling. In this situation the so called parents extract from their son (as they were doing all these years) in cash & kind and also ask him to support their daughter's family when needed ! The son is in a sort of 'vasyam' towards his parents and acts without considering his situation and commitments. He values each and every word uttered from their mouth thousand folds and acts according to their commands without knowing what he is doing and whether it is right or wrong. He is blindly in love with his parents; even he has no love towards his family. The parents are enjoing their life thousand folds by crushing his son and his family. The daughter in law has not enjoyed her life since her marriage. She has no say towards her husband even for a single matter. The irony is that the son does not understand how he acts .
No parent should behave , think ,act in such a mean manner. There are some parents who after finishing their DUTY of making their son do a mere graduation think that it is their right to expect to their hearts desire from their son regardless ofhis financial position or other commitments.They think it is his duty to 'somehow' please them. Are they fit to be called parents? One does not become parents just by giving birth to their children and giving them the basic needs. They should be selfless and loving till their end. If they themselves are financially sound with their own money , they can enjoy their life and also support their sons, if needed. Going by the principle of karma & next birth, they will undergo the punishment for their selfish action.
