Helping the Children with Their Father's Household Expenses
We are a family of seven, with three young men working, and the father is the only one who bears the responsibility of spending in the house, while the children refrain from contributing because they want to get married. Should they spend and help their father when times are tough, or is the obligation to provide only on the father?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Adult children's expenses are their own responsibility, and parents are not obligated to support them. Therefore, they should contribute to the household expenses, and in cases of need, they are required to provide for themselves and others. And God knows best.
