Do you Love/Hate your parents?!?

[tigerwannabe]

i definitely love & appreciate my parents more now than when i was a teenager. i'm in the reverse of Keribeth's situation: real close with my dad but not so much my mother. i TOTALLY agree with sysadmin; many kids these days don't have enough respect for their parents & have no discipline. there's a whole generation being raised by tv's, computers, and daycare.

ok...off my soapbox now

 

[monk3y]

Never got to know my dad but my mom is awesome.

<< is there anyone here who hates them as much as me? >>


listen littleprincess,
If they hated you as much - what do you think your situation would be like right now? I doubt you'd have a roof over your head right now, thats for sure. Try not to be such an ingrate and at least appreciate what they've given you instead of bragging about how much you hate them :disgust:

 

[Helpless]

It's clearly that damn Eminem and rap nonsense he's been listening to

I guess I'm sort of neutral on the issue. I respect my parents, because they are my parents. But I look at how they handled their lives. Multiple divorces, the &quot;disappearance&quot; act, the irresponsibility of having too many kids with too little time and too few resources. And what a mess they made of it. I guess they're alot like other parents of people in my generation. Hopeful of the future but losing sight of so many things along the way. I understand their backgrounds and what issues they had to deal with and what made them act the way they did. Yet I also realize that even with my tumultuous background, I wouldn't do the same today. At least not to another human being or a child. And I think this is what does now and will continue to somewhat separate me from them.

Hate both, mother is a pathilogical lier and would sell her own kids to satan if it made her famous. She also thinks she's gods gift to humanity, and if u don't agree, She will find ways to make u lose everything u have (yes its true i have seen it done many many times)

Father supports it (whipped).

Because of that my family is distroyed, got 1 druged up sister, 1 relgious nut sister who thinks she's dreaming and god (she's a jahova witness SP?) will wake her up, and a brother who is f*cked up in his own right.

Luckily i'm just about the only normal person in this bunch (even w/ the sh*t that has happened to me) I have nothing to do w/ any of them!

PS. i'm 22

Well, do us all a favor and don't have kids of your own unless you successfully complete psychotherapy/counseling first. Like it or not, most of us grow up to be just like our parents, even if we swear we won't be. Some of us succeed in breaking the cycle of poor parenting, but not without conscious effort.

Last thing this world needs is for you all to continue the cycle of hate and pain.



shifrbv, you sound like you are well on your way to breaking the cycle. Congrats! It's no easy feat but you seem to understand what it takes to overcome the past.

<< ...sounds like mommy and daddy didn't get you that Sony Playstation you asked for....cheer up, kid, you'll be serving me fries and Big Macs in no time! >>




ROFLMAO----my parents, though divorced since I was 3, are both great

Keribeth Thank you, you are exactly right. Parents do the best they can do. I was physically and mentally abused by my father for about 12 yrs. I never did hate him though. I now know that he did do the best he could do. He was a sick guy, god bless him. He has been dead for about 11 yrs now. There are days when I would give anything to be able to talk to him, hug him or hold his hand. I never appreciated him more, until after he was dead. I now know, how much I always did love him.

You don't have to 'like' your parents but you should love them. Without them, you wouldn't be here today!
Be happy you have parent's. There are a lot of kids who don't for what ever reason. Take addvantage of the time you have with them cause you never know when the day will come and they will be gone.
I&quot;m not that close to my dad but I love him, he's always supported me with anything I did...good or bad. I've learned alot from those experiences. My mom died when I was 14 (I'm 29 now) so I never had the chance to really get to know her.

<living here, is a lot better than on the street serving big macs to the likes of u...>

littleprince I guess you think you are too good to work at a fast food place? Suck it up and get over it!

I bet you wouldn't find your shoes so bad if you tried in a couple of other pairs

<moving out is not an option>
moving out is always an option...you just don't want too or you would find a way!

 

[Urinal Mint]

My parents are my best friends in the world.

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

sysadmin I guess by todays standards, I was abused! :Q I had to take a few trips to the woodshed But I tell you what, it only took a few!

 

[jeweleeann]

My parents could have possibly been been on the top ten list of the world's worst parents list but they did the best they were capable of doing at the time. They both have many regrets. Sometimes when I was young I thought I hated them but I never really did. I did learn from their mistakes and I am very different with my own child now. I can't see how anyone could hate there parents unless there was some type of sexual abuse and in that case they are better off going to a foster home.

Thats my .02

 

[mdennison]

love em! I must say that I am closer to them since I don't live with them.

 

[Scrapster]

My parents are idiots. I didn't like living with my dad so I moved out. But they're still idiots.

 

[ucdnam]

Sounds like the littleprince is at the age where people hate their parents? Hope you grow out of it. Without parents, we'd have a bunch of poor students, disrespectful kids, and a bunch of people complaining about bad grades.. wait, we have that now.

 

[d33pt]

i love my parents..they're the best parents i could've asked for.. tehy're even nicer to me now that i dont live with em anymore

 

[351Cleveland]

My parents are the best friends I have in the world... always there to comfort, aid, and advise.

I feel pity for anyone who misses out on this type of relationship.

 

[Commish]

Wait 'til you grow up, you'll have an entirely different perspective on this. Show them some respect, they'll probably end up helping you out more than you could ever imagine even after you move out.

 

[kassy]

Hmmmm, age brings changes to your feelings for your parents.
So littleprince, before you say you hate your parents remember they are just people with faults doing the best that they can.

 

[skywhr]

Yeah I hate your parents!

I love mine though...

 

[DannyLove]

i love my parents. They have been with me through a lot and I can now see how much they love me. And I love them in returnn for all of what they have given me

danny~!

 

[Cyberian]

<< Just as the title says, what do you feel about your parents?

is there anyone here who hates them as much as me? >>



I can't even be mad at you or argue with you.
I just pity you.

 

[troglodytis]

<< Do you Love/Hate your parents?!? >>

[Total Refected Power]
