the idea that I "owe" my parents care because they cared for me is... well, there's no way to say it without being seen as a jerk.  
 
I have a friend whose mother takes 10% of their paycheck to direct deposit into her bank account. He works in marketing, the brother is a lawyer. That must be frustrating to not have any say-so, but they oblige because, well, it's their parents.

 Oh yeah, pissed off children. 
Your friend and his brother better get smart. Seriously. Their mother better stop acting like she did someone a favor. She chose to have children. I understand wanting children to be grateful but that is easily taken to the extreme.
