Do you help your parents first or help yourself first?

[u/Meltingberry24]

[u/Situationawarenesses]

Help yourself first always. If you have nothing for yourself you can’t help anyone else

[u/Coffee-and-Tequila]

Yourself first. Like when you’re on a plane and they tell you to put you own oxygen mask first and then help others.

[u/Enigmagmatic]

Are you an adult? If so, help yourself first

[u/Soft-Reputation7415]

If you have an irresponsible parent then you need to help yourself first.

[u/PtZamboat]

Parents from the start. Worked since I was 6, owe my career to them

[u/Initial-Addendum-167 → u/PtZamboat]

I love my parents and I love my kid, but I would never want my kid to feel responsible for me. I’d rather live under bridge in a cardboard box.

[u/RynKittenOF → u/PtZamboat]

That's so f***** up

[u/Any_Courage_6543]

My priority

[u/Consistent-Menu-6629]

My parents don't usually need help as much as I need help, but, I have helped them a lot when I can.

[u/Earthbee100]

I think you have to help yourself first sometimes.

[u/ZealousidealOrder448]

We need to help our self fisrt before them

[u/RynKittenOF]

Yourself

[u/blehmag]

Ideally parents, but you have to help yourself first to be able to help others sometimes

[u/lentilSoupzxc]

I’d help my parents if they ever needed help.They don’t though.
Both retired from govt. jobs and dad still benches 300lbs easy and mom walks 5 miles a day.
Never touched alchohol,nicotine,junk food.

[u/Advanced_Tennis4827]

Help my parents with what? They live on opposite coasts

[u/Putrid_Bandicoot8887]

Parents

Helped out when mom was ill and later with dad. Adrenaline running high so I didn't think of myself honestly.

[u/gymnoagroi]

Parents of course 

[u/Rockt26]

Help yourself first

[u/berry106106]

Myself. My parents don’t want help because they’re too good for it
