Is it permissible for a mom to ask how much her child earns?

[Suba]

I have a coworker who is a mom and she told me that her child has graduated from college and just got a good job, but when her mom asked her child how much his salary was, the child did not want to answer, the mom did not mean to ask for her child's salary but just wanted to know whether her child could manage finances or not, so in your opinion, is it appropriate for a mom to ask how much her child earns?

I personally don't see anything wrong with asking your child how much you earn though. It's normal for parents to want to know everything about their child.

I do not see any problem for the mother to ask her son/daughter how much s(he) makes per month, unless their relationship is not good.

it is not wrong to me. Especially if they are very close. But it is not by force thing. Just ask and leave it at that.

What is the purpose of asking some how much they earn or how much their child earn. There is no business in asking private question

 

[Augusta]

Well, sometimes it depends on the relationship of the two people. if you are close to your son why not. its not a bad question

In India most mom don't need to ask. Our children share their what they earn with their parents.

It means in India, children are very devoted to their parents, willing to share a small portion of their income with their parents, whereas in my country, although it still exists, it has started to disappear.

I don't hide anything from my parents and I would willingly tell them how much I earn. It is normal for me.

My mom asks me how much I earn and I tell her about it with an open mind. She won't bother me financially with that knowledge.

For me l think that is very much okay for the parents to know how much the children are making on their jobs or businesses. However that is a little bit of a personal thing and it depends on the person in question
