As the video continued, @madam_speaker said she was worried about the people born in the 80s and 90s as she thought they would be more considerate of the subject. She said the following:

"You know, I am so worried, so I thought the 80s and 90s were the parents who were gonna make a difference because they got the memo and they understand. But as a parent, it is your responsibility to take care of your child, and that is not an investment whereby you feel like they must repay you for taking care of them in the future. That is your responsibility."

The outspoken lady went on to say that parents in the early 60s understood that it was their responsibility to take care of their children and not vice versa. She added that when she does something for her parents, they appreciate it because they understand their responsibility to care for their kids.
