Should there be a limit to investing in your children?

[Strongkored]

Do you think parents should have a limit on the amount they can invest in their children?

Children are not an investment, that is something that parents should have in mind, but that is also what happens in my country where parents consider their children as aninvestment.
Giving the best is a must for parents who should not expect anything in return because it will be disappointing, and if there are children who have graduated from a good school or university but are still dependent on their parents then that is the parents' mistake in terms of education.
Investments are assets and the assets must provide good returns for the future, and that is not our children.

[justdimin]

The way I see it, parents have obligations regarding their children, but not the other way around. Children didn't ask to be born, it's the responsibility of their parents. I don't think it means that parents should sell their houses for their children, though. Parents are responsible for providing an adequate standard of life and ensuring that their children obtain basic education. Then it's up to parents how much they want to help and up to children how much they want to take care of their parents when they get older.
Viewing children as an investment into your own future is very egoistic and pragmatic. I don't think it's a good foundation of a healthy relationship.

Yes I agree with you. After giving birth to a child till he reaches adulthood, parents have to take all the responsibility to guide him and develop his life. But this does not mean that the parents will sell the homestead for the child and spend it on the betterment of the children. First of all it is mandatory to fulfill the basic needs of everyone and then all kinds of measures are needed to upgrade the children with the times. Because that child after a certain age has to fight the earth to save himself and his next generation as you would for your child. Life is a game here those who can fulfill every step of their life very carefully are successful in every way.

I feel like teaching your kid to be a responsible adult who would do better is a great way to develop a very good citizen of the world. Many parents care what grade you got at math, or history or whatever, and yet they do not realize that your kid is about to grow to 22+ years old without learning a single thing about money.

I think this would solve the issue, teach your kid how to earn money, in a fake child manner of course, like monopoly money for every chore they do, so they would "earn" right to tv, or pc, or tablet whatever. Go clean your room and get 2 hours of tablet, go wash the dishes and get 3 hours of netflix, that type of thing. It would really make it clear for them the value of working and how money is won, that would be a lot better for them to learn.

[Dr.Osh]

if he has several children, I think we need to generalize that. However, personally, I will give as much as I can for my children, without making it difficult for my wife and me in old age. After all, the best investment for children is education. Personally, I want all my children to have a high education. Apart from that, I will also provide the assets that I have when the time comes so that they can just continue their development.

[Rockstarguy]

There is a current trend in my country where parents are doing everything financially possible to give their children the best education. Some parents have gone to the extent of selling properties or taking loans to send their children to some of the best schools in and outside the country. I have spoken with some of them, and the reason they give is that this child will get good jobs and take care of them in the future.

I had to bring up this issue because most of them are becoming disappointed and depressed. In my location, children are seen as an investment because they have the responsibility to take care of their parents when they are retired, old, or unemployed. So parents will want to invest high in education because they think it will bring high returns. Many of these students who attended prestigious schools end up becoming unemployed and are still depending on their parents to survive. I also assume that many of them regret going the extra mile to give their children the best. They have lost money and are also in debt but their children are still dependants.

Do you think parents should have a limit on the amount they can invest in their children?

For me I think parents trying to give their children the best education at alll cost is an investment.  When investing in children or giving them the best to become better in the future it shouldn't be something parents needs to think if the money is waste or not. Yes it is possible to train a child and give the child a good education and after graduation their is no job, this doesn't mean the child won't won't have a job forever. It is just a matter of time for the child to keep trying and with time their will be source of income that is generating money for the person.

  If parents should stop investing on their children in education because of how expensive it is and no job after school it will be a problem to both parents and children. Education is not about having a job but develops good reasoning for Man to even create a job as source of income. Most parents will need the support of their children after retirement and if the children are not doing well as a result of lack of traning it will affect the children.

Assets and education are two things that are equally valuable as long as the assets we provide are beneficial for our own children and can be developed by our own children. Likewise with higher education, as long as our children want to receive more education and it doesn't make them stressed and can be quite suitable for our own children's needs and skills, of course our children must continue to do this until they are truly complete.

And as a good father you have to support it to the end because this will also produce such sweet results for our children later. Because education that is appropriate to the child's skills and is really liked by our child will definitely be more useful than education that in the end only gets a diploma as a mark of graduation but cannot be used anywhere.

[Kelward]

I think that most parents puts too much expectations in their children, they tend to go the extra mile to make sure that their children gets the very best education that they can afford, so that the children in return will be well-off and take care of them. This notion is wrong, parents should give unconditional love to their children, give them the best of everything that they can afford, including education, because it's their responsibilities to do so, not just because they want something in return. It's fine to expect excellence, good character that is a testament of good upbringings, but it's not proper to expect that your children must be rich so that they can take care of you. Parents should try and give their children basic education, not necessarily an expensive one if they cannot afford it.

Good education is no longer a guarantee to become rich in this technological age, I've heard of uneducated people and school dropouts who later became millionaires. Some people will make fortunes in unrelated areas of their studies in the universities, so to become rich a person needs to have the mindset of the rich, not necessarily becoming educated in the four walls of a class, and parents should understand this.

Since it is not known which jobs will make better money in the future or whether people will be satisfied with the work they do, it may not be right to plan everything without asking the children. The child should be waited until he reaches the age where he can discover himself, and a path should be drawn in line with his wishes. Some families draw all the paths for their children without waiting for their children to decide. Of course, these families have good intentions, but children need to have a say in their own future.

Parents must invest in their children to a certain extent. When they exceed the limit of this measure, what they expect does not happen. They need to learn some things to overcome the difficulties they face in life. Everyone wants a good future for their child, but the things that need to be done for a good future should not only be a good education or meeting all the needs of your child. It is more important to raise them as smart individuals who know what they can do against difficulties.

In my country, the prices of the schools to which some children are sent are very high. Families can barely afford this fee, but they still want to send their children to these high-fee schools. Education should be equal for everyone and every child should receive the education they want. I don't think education sold for money is right.

I think I agree with you, when talking about the concept of children as an investment in the future I disagree with the sentence, placing children as an investment can keep children away from their fundamental rights, especially the right to participate in their development, children must also be placed as current rights owners,

it is a must as a parent to provide the best education financially. If I were in that position I would provide the best education for my child. And it's natural for parents to be disappointed with what they have fully given to the child but did not produce good results in the future. but as parents should not expect to depend on the child in the future, because children are entrusted by God.

Forcing kids into a career they dislike will ruin their lives. Our role as parents is to help our children discover what makes them tick

It's not that parents should do nothing and let their kids run wild. Hell no! We owe it to them to equip them for success. Though it goes beyond only being book smart, education is essential. Youngsters need to pick up problem-solving, critical thinking, and flexibility. They will be well-served by these abilities whatever the future brings

Yes, let your children follow their passions, but don't be hesitant to guide them in the proper path. Training a fighter is similar in that you have to push, test, and ensure they are continually developing. Though, it's their battle and they have to develop their own approach

This is a very good reason and if it is on that course they’re selling what they have to spend on their children, I think they worth it and the parent shouldn’t feel bad that they are spending that much on their children. The children are to be the champions of tomorrow that will cater for them when they get older unless they join the bad gangs and not have concern for their parents in the old age. I don’t think a parent should have a limit on spending on their children and if need be for that, it should be a good one to counter why they won’t spend on them.

Some parent will see spending on their children as an investment and will be expecting a return on that investment when the children grow older and become independent. Such mindset should be reduced but still hope they can get something from them. How you groom them and the type of people they mingle with in the course of their growth will determine more if they will cater for you back as a return on investment done on them earlier.

Limiting yourself on giving up your best towards your own family or your children is something that a BS idea but having limitation isnt that bad at all. We are working and we are making business or other source of income just for the sake of our own family needs and wants on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be providing all the things because we dont really want for them to struggle or having that kind of bad experience on living but its true that there are really instances that when things turns out to be shit or bad condition then you do end up on having no savings because you have put it all
on education of your kids and other possible expenses and at the moment that you dont able to have some savings then this is where things becomes even more harder.

This is why it would really be that important on having some savings or health insurances and other benefits on the moment that you do get old.
This is why it would be better that on having those proper planning in the future.

[Stable090]

Children are not an investment, that is something that parents should have in mind, but that is also what happens in my country where parents consider their children as aninvestment.

If you can give birth to a child, then it’s your responsibility as a parent to take care of the child, and your child shouldn’t be your investment. If your parents took care of you, then you should also take care of your own children and don’t expect anything from them. If you know you don’t have the financial capacity to take care of them, then it’s just better you don’t even give birth to them. There shouldn’t be a limit to the amount that you will be spending on your children, because if they are successful in life, then you will also be proud, and you will be benefiting from them. So I am ready to spend any amount on my children just to give them a better life.

if there are children who have graduated from a good school or university but are still dependent on their parents then that is the parents' mistake in terms of education.

As parents, we are supposed to train our children to not depend on only school for survival, they should have some skills that will serve as a backup in case they graduate from school without having a job. They will be able to fall back on their skills and earn from there.

This seems like feedback or reciprocity when parents raise children then they also inevitably have to give something good enough for their parents? Does it mean like that? Even though this view is not wrong because it is also a form of filial piety but I think this mindset for parents is not right because after all children are not a cash cow that must depend on them when they are old because after all this is not too appropriate in my opinion.

Indeed, when a child thinks of pleasing parents, it is a good thing but parents do not need to give a benchmark to children that they must live on when they are at retirement age because I think this mindset is not very ethical and it is not appropriate for parents to expect such things. As long as we are able to give the best to our children then do not just want a bigger reward because children also when they are successful will definitely not forget the services of those who have made them that way.

Rather than an investment, children are the parents obligation and responsibilities of parents. If they can’t raise their children to the best of their capability, then they should have not brought this children into this challenging world. However, on the other hand, children are responsible as well to return the goodness of their parents when they are capable to. Not only in terms of financial, but most importantly emotional and physical aspects as well as no parents deserved to be unloved and maltreated by children.

It is the responsibility of the parent to take care of their child. I cannot call this an investment in a good school for their education; it is just like they are shaping their future from the beginning, which is not bad. However, most students get spoiled in the school or community they go to study, and this can really make a parent sad and depressed because it is not easy to spend money on your child for many years, and unfortunately, the child turns to something and starts avoiding the craft you put him in to do in the first place.
 
However, talking of losing money and still yet the children are still depending on them, I will not blame the child for that because if you find yourself in a situation where the job is very hard and only politicians children can do it easily, then definitely the child will still be dependent even after school.

Well probably parents have also different mindset when it comes to their children, and I respect that. However, for me, more than an investment if that’s what others think, children should always be well taken care of by their parents, not because they’re capable, but because it’s their duties and obligations to safeguard and secure their lives 24/7, otherwise people will call them irresponsible parents. That’s why they should not expect in return from their children, but I guess children can do the math as well, if they are well loved by their parents, then they should also do the same.

Parents should not expect what their children can give in the future because of what they are giving today. It is always the responsibility of a parent to take care of the welfare of his kids. So for me, children should not be treated as investments, always make sure they are getting the right things to live their life accordingly. There may be limit on how you provide their needs, if you think it is already a luxury, then don't give it to them. Spoiling children won't do any good later on in their life. They need to understand the hardship in life for them to appreciate what is being given to them.
Now, in terms of taking care of their parents, it is how they brought up to this aspect of life. You can't force them if they have other beliefs.

Parents investing on there children is very important because sometimes things may not actually work the way the parents had envisioned for themselves in terms of financial aspects and at that time or moments it could be very difficult for them to take care of there children properly in terms of there education and other things so if perhaps they have already established an investment for the children it will become very easy for them because the investment will actually go a very long way for those children.

Sometimes parents have money but their children are not old enough to take care of such an amount therefore the parents choose to invest that amount for the future of their children as a result of which that amount will not remain in the same value but will continuously increase as the time goes.

Thinking about investing at an early age for children is very crucial because all the time we are not wealthy enough to do something better for the future of our children. With investment it is also necessary to teach the children about handling of investment because only investment cannot give you profit if you have no understanding about it.

For me, I think the notion of parents going an extra mile to invest in their children and then expect an immediate return in form of a good paying job just after they have finished school, and start taking care of the parents, is just a mirage that many have believed and that's why the bouts of depression never cease when the children don't live up to such expectations.

It's good to invest in our children as they are the future and instead of parents to spend so much for children with little experience of life or the outside world, they should allow the children experience life in a new environment where they are forced to take responsibility for themselves and their actions and fend for themselves too. The lessons that were taught would in such an instance, sink in and bear fruit and that shows that the investment the parents made has begun to bear fruit.

I also think parents should allow children walk in the path they mostly understand and invest in this regard, as it will help them achieve their dreams quickly and provide them with the value that will bring the money soonest.

Parents who are also well learned should endeavor to inculcate their knowledge in their children, because everything we call a successful investment in the future won't always require money or selling of property, but a knowledge like cryptocurrency can help if taught to our children at an early age and if we guide them to it, so as to reduce future reliance and dependence on the government or the parents, but will fend for themselves and fulfil their dreams while bringing home the glory.

To teach children, we have to get used to behaving according to what we expect from them. we have to set an example for them so that they imitate what we do. the same as investing for children, this aims to ensure that their lives will be guaranteed in the future, moreover we will not know what will happen to us in the future, that way as time goes by children will understand what we are doing and they will do it too because it is considered something good to imitate
