Relationship Between Children and Parents

Relationship Between Children and Parents

Because of the big distance between Saudi Arabia and the United States, there are many differences between these two cultures. How the children deal with their parents is not similar in these two countries. What really caught my attention are the relationships among parents and their children in the United States.

Parents in the United States let their sons and daughters to go out of the house and be independent at a specific age, and these children may not see there parents again, and parents will end up be alone. As a human nature, any father or mother feel sad when they are losing one of their children, so why do this happen while no one want to lose their children? On the other hand, what happen in Saudi Arabia is that children don’t go out of their parents house until they get married. However, they will visit their father and mother. Usually, one of the sons stays in the house after he get married, so he can take care of parents.

Both of the American and Saudi cultures have their own opinion towards vision of life. I found what happen in America is not right, but other may found it right because they see that the independence is more important than anything else. People in Saudi Arabia don't let their parents to go to any home for aged, so Saudis take care of their parents because parents took care of them when they were children.
