Are family members obliged to take care of an adult close family member?

YesA

NoB

No. If an adult person is not capable of taking care of themselves, close relatives (parents, children, grandparents, or grandchildren) are obliged to provide financial support to the relative. The obligation of financial support to one’s parents or grandparents should be distinct from providing personal care during working time. The level of assistance is determined by the local municipality who is obliged to help the person concerned.

Are the work obligations of one parent more important than the hobbies of another parent?

YesA

NoB

No. Both parents have the right to balanced work, family, and private life. Every person has the right to choose the kind of personal fulfilment that makes them happy without the fear of being disregarded or discriminated against. No gender stereotypes or other people’s convictions, opinions, and assessments should limit or dictate the right of men or women to make decisions.
