What is the best thing your mother ever did for you?

[IAG]

I want to listen to this better tomorrow with head phones on ...too much going on here now. Did you really write this? Who is singing? Really good.

I wrote sang and recorded it, played all guitar too

But the guitar is not too complicated like most of my stuff

Never thought it was my best song but it's my favorite since I wrote it for my mother

 

[roguejuror]

She will never hear it?

 

[IAG]

Awesome. Lots of talent here at GL.

 

[Cougar Bait]

She will never hear it?

I don't really know how to approach it

Here's a song that I wrote about how I think I am going to feel when you die...

Doesn't really roll off the tongue

Ok...this thread made me think of something I was pondering the other day. Mainly, what is one's obligation to their parents in aging? Obviously, I am here with mom and will continue to be. And I had wonderful parents who provided for me and supported me, but not everyone has that kind of relationship. Is there some sort of inherent obligation to care for parents based on the fact that they gave birth?

I was thinking along the simple "No one asked to be born" deal. But when I googled that, I found out that 2 religions...hindus and ? I think actually do believe that you DID ask to be born in some other/prior existence. I found that interesting.

So two questions...is one obligated and to what extent to take care of parents in old age ...and also does anyone know about this concept about "asking" to be born? I'm going to have to research that more...

Don't get me wrong...I love my mom and will stick this out as long as I can, but I hate it when people come with the attitude that you should be eternally grateful for just the fact that they gave you birth. If I wasn't born, I wouldn't know any better...and life isn't particularly great much of the time. People have kids mostly for their benefit, not for the one that was conceived. I don't know if this makes sense, but I just hate that argument.

I got slammed for saying that a while back.

People have kids for selfish reasons.
