Supporting our parents is our responsibility and duty as children, and ensuring they live a comfortable life is also something we should do. However, in reality, every family has its own difficulties, and not every family is harmonious.

Recently, an incident occurred in our neighborhood. A couple was shouting in the park, accusing their daughter of being unfilial and not supporting them. This attracted a crowd, and many people condemned the daughter. However, after hearing her side of the story, people began to sympathize with her.

The daughter, Xiaoli, is our neighbor. After graduating from college, she chose to start her own business. As an only child, she shouldered a lot of pressure to provide a better life for her parents. Every month, she would deposit her earnings into her parents’ account.

Five years into her business, she had saved 500,000 yuan for her parents. However, instead of being grateful, her parents squandered the money, and her father even asked her for more. Xiaoli was devastated, feeling that her parents had wasted her hard-earned savings.

When her father asked her for money, Xiaoli was furious and told him, “I’d rather raise a dog than support you.” This infuriated her father, who threatened to take her to court. Xiaoli was heartbroken, feeling that her own father could be so cruel.

The father’s outburst in the park attracted a crowd, and many people condemned Xiaoli. However, after hearing her story, people began to sympathize with her and criticize her parents instead.

In reality, every family has its own difficulties. As parents or children, we should understand and respect each other. This is the only way to create a harmonious family life. If we only think of our own interests, we will ultimately hurt our family’s harmony.

To achieve a happy family life, we should:

Parents Should Understand Their Children More

As Fuller said, “Those who cannot understand others will not be understood by others.” This highlights the importance of understanding.

Not all parents understand their children. Some parents may even take advantage of their children’s feelings, causing conflicts in the family.

Parents should show more care and understanding towards their children, as they may have unspoken grievances and difficulties.

As people age, they should maintain a positive attitude and not burden their children with unnecessary worries.

Living in harmony with family members is the best way to help them.

Giving your children more love and care can make family life more harmonious and happy.

Filial Piety Requires the Right Approach

“Parental love is as high as a mountain, and as deep as the sea.” Supporting our parents is our duty.

Many children practice filial piety in the wrong way.

Blindly obeying our parents’ words is not necessarily a good thing.

We should learn to communicate with our parents correctly, which can lead to better understanding and harmony.

A family that works together in harmony is the only true happiness in the world.

In reality, every family has its own difficulties. When we encounter problems, we should find the most suitable way to solve them, which can help resolve conflicts between family members.

Supporting our parents is our responsibility, but we should also use the right approach, which can lead to better results.
