Why is it that when it comes to this issue people feel completely comfortable with telling other people how to live their lives?
Wanting to spend more time with your parent's isn't a moral absolute. It's a social pressure that has proved hardier than going to church or getting married while you are still fertile.
- tehwebguy 13y agoIt's not really telling you what to do, per se. The point isn't that you must spend time with them, it's that if you want to you should know how much time you have (or don't).
- yetanotherphd 13y agoYes, but there is a certain implication (e.g. the name of the website)
- dwaltrip 13y agoIf one has a good relationship with their parents, then they are likely one of the closest bonds and strongest links in his/her social support system. Thus it makes biological sense to foster this connection. Humans have strong social needs, and generally don't do well if they are neglected.
