Should adult children be legally required to support their aging parents?
I think requiring adult children to financially support their aging parents should be a legal obligation, not just a moral one. My father had to quit his job to care for my grandmother, and the financial strain nearly broke our family. Countries like Singapore and Germany have laws that enforce filial support, and they seem to work better than leaving it to chance. But I also wonder if legal mandates might strain relationships, so maybe we should focus on better state support instead.
