Please provide your opinions and comments on the 2 points below:
1. Have you come across any cases of parents showing blatant bias against one child in favour of another? I don't mean buying a bigger toy or showering one with more affection. An example of "blatant bias" would include instances whereby child A and child B fight, and without finding out the facts, the parent beats up child B each time.
In such a situation, do you think that child B should have a duty to treat his parent well in future? How should child B treat child A, if both were old enough to understand the situation? What should the parent expect from child B?
2. Do you think that parents should expect more from a child whose life is going very well, for example the child's adult life is very rosy in the sense that he has his own happy family (wife and children), he has a great job and generally leads a happy and fulfilling life, which may mean he will not have that much time to spend on the parents?
Or should the parents expect more from a child whose life is not that great, no family, struggling to make ends meet, generally unhappy and tough life, but being single, he may have more time for the parents?
