The month of May is the month of results. Every other day, some or the other result appears in the newspapers. There is one thing that I find common in every interview. Any guess?
Every student says "The credit of my success goes to my parents.”
Whenever I read these lines, the same thought comes to my mind. It is the duty of parents to provide all forms of support, moral or otherwise, to their kids. They have, at best, fulfilled their responsibility. Why do the students always have to thank their parents and no one else for their success? In majority of cases some one else may be responsible in inducing the competitive spirit in the student. But it requires courage to name the person from whom you got the strength and will power to excel in life.
I am yet to find a student who can boldly say that parents' support is any way there but the person xyz was responsible for his growth. He was the inspiration in his life.
No some people do mention. There is a bookish answer: Abdul Kalam Ji is my idol. He may not be aware of the great things Kalam sahib has done but in ‘rata rataya speech’ it is always some great leader.

जीवन में प्रेरणा किसी से भी मिल सकती है. आवश्यकता है उस व्यक्ति का मान करने की. यदि Teacher ने आपकी सहायता की है तो उसे बताने या स्वीकार करने में लज्जा कैसी? मुझे जो पाठ पेपर वाले ने सिखाया मैं भूल नहीं सकती. अब कभी भी नि:स्वार्थ काम की बात आई तो वह मेरा आदर्श रहेगा.
Anyway, this is life.

Well you have a valid point.
But, it needs to be seen from the point of view of the child too.
The parents should themselves accept it if the child officially gives the credit to somebody else, implicitly assuming that parents' support is anyhow always there.
All the action of parents' are directed towards the well-being of a child, and not necessarily for clearing one exam.
Even if he/she clears/does not clear the exam, the parents will still continue to care and provide. So, does every action need to be linked with exam preparation?
Will all parents take it in the right sense if they are not at all mentioned by their child during the interview? I don't think so.
I'm afraid but I would not really agree with your point.
Parents actually do play a major role in the success of a child. It depends on what way they do but they really have an impact, it may vary from a small impact to a greater impact. But, the point is that they are vital parts in supporting a child. He/She may be drawing inspiration from xyz person but his/her parents are always there for their support. As Antariksh has written, teh support may not be completely towards the exam but then as long as they ensure his well-being, he is likely to perform upto his full.
I dunno...I have met a few who truly wish their parents supported them more, encouraged them more and took interest in their dreams. I guess parents are 'supposed' to do all this as you say...but at the end of the day, the ones who actually do are to be truly lauded and duly credited.
