Parents are no longer responsible

Once children are grown, their parents are no longer responsible for them.

This picture is of Joan and Melissa Rivers from the show Joan and Melissa Rivers: Joan knows best. This television program shows that no matter how big your child gets or however successful they are parents almost always feel responsible for them. Melissa is grown with her own family, house, and job, but Joan moves in with her and still tries to take care of her.

In Raisin in the Sun Mama shows the same affection to her children. Walter Lee is grown with a job and his own family, but they still live with Mama. Throughout the whole play you see Mama taking care or talking about taking care of her family. Even though her children are grown she still takes care of them.
