They're both wrong.

Parents owe undying love and loyalty to their kids. Kids don't owe their parents shit. If the parents did a good job, their kids will want to support them on their own. If you need to pressure kids into loving their parents, then abuse or neglect has already occurred.

That's not necessarily true. Personality disorders exist, as does addiction, as does kids growing up into assholes. I've raised 5 kids and I can tell you parents have a lot less control over who their kids turn out to be than you suggest.
