PARENT'S FINANCIAL EXPECTATION - How do you handle?

I am assuming that the parents in question are not poor and do not need constant financial help, right Revival? If they are indeed poor, then yes it becomes your responsiblity or just love, to help them out as we know there is no structured social security program in Nepal. If not, then the best thing to do would be to ask why they constantly need so much money. Really, just ask them. Like KG4MVP said, "No one will understand you better than your parents." Find out their reasons. If they just want to save it, then you can explain them that it is safer in the banks here. I do not think that this is a difficult situation. But it depends upon how you handle it. I can understand the pressure from the spouse who would definitley want an answer to why the money is going to Nepal every month, or the expenses here in US, or the salary not being like that of so and so's son or daughter.
