A 65-year-old content creator from Haryana, Tai Savitri, has urged parents to stop making their children feel indebted for raising them and allow them to live their own lives. In an Instagram Reel, Tai Savitri said children never asked to be born and should not be expected to live according to their parents’ wishes. She urged parents to respect their children’s privacy and give them the freedom to make decisions about their own lives. Her message focused on parental control, guilt and the need to allow children to have their own space. The Reel drew responses online, with viewers engaging with her advice on parenting and family relationships. A 2026 Indian study published in the Asian Journal of Psychiatry found that excessive parental control could restrict adolescents’ autonomy and development. Tai Savitri’s message centred on the idea that raising children should not be used to make them feel obligated to follow their parents’ wishes. Instead, she asked parents to respect their children’s privacy and allow them to lead their own lives.
