Maybe a big fat NO . I came frm a complicated abusive family , parents divorced when i was very young . Mum were still wrking at Flextronics thru the night even when shes preggy w the 3rd child . My dad was hardly working . I started wrking at the age of 14 , failed my Ns . But managed to get a Nitec . All im saying , i missed out alot in my childhood and adolescent years . I hv been supporting myself eversince then . I dont want my kid/s to go through the rough patch like me . I'd give my all to let them be kids and grow up healthily and never to deprive of anything else . I bet my husb wud agree with mie on this ..
Read moreI will not hope for anything as they are my responsibilty financial wise, until they have finished school and got married. I will pay for their wedding as well insya Allah (God's willing) I do not want to have children jz so they cn make money for me in the future. I have them out of love and all i need from them is to good and kind people.
Read moreNo I wouldn't expect. Everyone has needs. They will have their own families to look after. My parents do not ask for allowance and by God's grace they are well off themselves. But I still gift them money whenever I can. Asking for is one thing and giving as gift is another.
Yes, but I plan to have a retirement fund as I don’t want to financially burden my kids. My parents are financially free, but my husband’s parents have debts, but no savings or insurance and completely depend on us and it’s extremely draining.
I do not expect anything from my kids. I just want them to be happy& healthy. Be there ups n downs for them. However If they wish & able to. I’m fine with it.
Nope. More importantly, I hope that my child would be financially independent and learn the value of savings, investment and financial security.
I don't think the allowance is necessary but I would always make sure that my kids are happy and healthy
I don’t want to expect a lot from them, as saving it up is very important as well
No. Life is already hard. I dun wanna them to be like us, the sandwich generation.
yes as it’s ingrained in our culture but the amount will leave it to her
