Mama I Owe You Nothing And Daddy Even Less is an absolute masterpiece on family relationships and how they pertain to society at large. As a well-established fact, the family is the bedrock of society and shapes the future of a nation. This book by Simmer Breeze is a very interesting read.

This book is divided into chapters, each of which discusses relevant issues in the family and family system in our current world. From discussing child upbringing to emancipation of minors to divorce and sex determination of a baby, this book is a must-read for both parents and guardians. I really appreciate how short each chapter of this book is. The author's unambiguous use of words makes this book so easy to read and comprehend. There is so much to learn, despite how brief and concise this book is. Adults, teens, and upcoming parents will find it very useful. Personally, I am of the opinion that parents owe their children proper care and upbringing, which stems from providing the basic requirements, which are food, clothing, and shelter, to providing education. In the long run, children who have come of age owe their parents the responsibility of returning the favor by caring for them when they're senile, as a show of gratitude. However, some people may not concur with my opinion. Honestly, if you're interested in family affairs, this book would definitely be of great use.

I rate this book, Mama I Owe You Nothing And Daddy Even Less, five out of five stars. I admire almost every feature of this book except for the title, which I strongly disagree with, but this did not affect my overall enjoyment and understanding of the book. I did not encounter any grammatical or typographical errors while reading, so I can say that this book was professionally edited. I appreciate Simmer Breeze for this astounding piece of writing.

Personally, I don’t believe that children OWE their parents anything. However, if you were raised in a good home, like I was, you almost naturally desire to repay all of the favors that you were given. Thanks!

I agree with your opinion, parents owe their children the best they can provide in all aspects of their lives (financial, emotional, care, respect, etc.); and in return the grown up children should care and assist their parents the best they can, because why abandon someone who loved and cared for you. However, I also understand the author's choice for the title. It all depends on what kind of relationship the protagonist had with her parents. Some parents are just toxic and selfish; they destroy and use their children for their own benefits. In this case, rather cut ties.

The title MAMA I OWE YOU NOTHING AND DADDY EVEN LESS is a thought-provoking statement,And depending on who you ask, you will find many different opinions based on how someone was cared for while growing up.This book gives you a view of the author's life experieces of over 6 decades,Also providing insight and statistical data on family matters ( Child/Parents relationships) that one would sooner or later have to face and deal with.Each chapter opens the door to deeper discussions involving both.Reading this book will not disappoint,I give it 5 stars,After reading 96 pages,I believe you will too.

What I find interesting in this writing is that people do not talk about this issue it is almost taboo. We know it happens, but we avoid exposing it. This book brings it out of the closet and to the table an issue that all families will face the fate of our elderly is something we all need to take interest in. This is a must read for all

I enjoyed this book. My perspective might be slightly different because i personally feel that when being conceived the child doesn’t have a say so or choice. The parent’s have a ethical obligation to raise the child safely, so the child has the best chance at surviving adulthood. Now when we turn the page. I agree with the author’s title. The children don’t owe their parents anything. I believe its a choice and not a obligation. Many factors should play into this. Personally i take care of my parent because of my respect and love towards them. I'm the only sibling out of 4 that can help. This book was written very well. Id love to see a sequel. This is a must read 5/5. Id advise anyone who has parents to buy this easy read!

I found this book to be very interesting. The topic is a little bit misleading, because I do feel like we owe our parents respect as far as monetary or anything else other than that a little bit agreement with, however, because most parents were there for us as children. I feel that, there’s a level of gratitude and taking care of your elders and that is something that is a little bit misleading about the title for me, but it was very good read I will give this book a four out of five only because the title just was a little bit misleading for me . Great read. Kind of kept me on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what the author was going to say next kinda like a little bit of a cliffhanger, but you have to understand where the person is mindset was in the process of writing a book can’t wait to see his/her next book come out this author comes out with some very unique topics. I think this person is a beginning author, but has put a couple good books out there that have perked my interest and kept me following him or her. GREAT READ!
