God Entrusted

I am proud and lucky to have parents who allow me to do what's best for me.

One example is the getting married and having children thingies. Generally parents will suggest (or I can say "force") their children to get married and having kids. It is said that it is because they love their children, they think about their children's future so when they get older there are people who will take care of them. Is it true? Are we as parents, ask our kids to get married because we love them? Or is it just because the common norm in the society? Or is it just because for the sake of family's name inheritance? 

Back to previous statement, we have kids so when we get older, we won't be alone, there will be someone who will take care of us. Doesn't it sound selfish?

I'm not saying this so we break loose, so we flip to our parents. It is appropriate and feasible for us to treat our parents the best. We will never be able to return their favor. We are forever in debt wit them. I'm saying this so we, who now are parents to our children, are able to let our children decide and choose what's best for them. We do owe it to them. God entrusted us our children. They are not ours to satisfy out needs.
