A daughter from a South Asian family living in the US has recently been called an ungrateful child by her family. The reason? She refused to take in her parents, who had decided to sell their home and come live with her. Despite paying for her brother’s education, her parents tolerated her and expected her to stay home and care for them and her brother. However, she got a scholarship and studied hard to get two degrees and a career she enjoys. Her parents’ decision to move in with her was met with a firm ‘no’ from her and her husband, and they suggested a lovely retirement home instead. This didn’t go down well with her parents, who called her an ungrateful child. She sent them a year’s worth of rent, food, utilities, and sundries and asked them to only contact her again after going through her lawyer. This has caused a rift in the family, with some members calling her an a**hole. Was she too harsh? Read on to find out.
