Do your respect your parents?

[Pex]

It's human nature to hate your parents in your teens, then love and respect them when you get your head outta your ass.

Absolutely. Even when I was a teenage, I realized how smart they were!

My parents are very supportive to me since I'm deaf and they are hearing.

Oh yeah, when I was young probably at 3. My mom sent me to a local speech therapy to learn how to speak. I could talk everything depsite being deaf. Then, my mom sent me to a grammar school with a deaf program. I absolutely got scared. When I see sign language, I run away. I always thought sign language is a monster to me. I didn't learn sign language till I suffered another hearing loss at age 8.

Dad spent long hours on his job. I didn't have time to spend with him, but now I do. I work for his construction business every summer since graduating middle school. Mom is a cosmetologist and she did my hair when I was young. I still love my parents to death depsite limited sign language skills.

My mom always check on me if I'm done with my homeworks before I can go out and play. She wanted me to get straight A's in school. (You know how typical asian parents are.) She sometime forces me to read books even thick books. I read a lot of books to increase my reading abilities.

I graduated high school with 3.44GPA unweighted. And now I'm 20 and a second-year student at RIT. My ex whose is deaf herself, is entering her second year at Dartmouth. Well, deaf people can do it.

As children it is very easy to take our parents for granted (and to dislike them). It takes a level of maturity (hopefully acquired by adulthood) to see things clearly. Most parents make their children the center of their universe and the children tend to make their parents lives a (fill in the blank). For all of you reading this let your parents know how you feel about them and their sacrifices. The day will most assuridly come when you will not be able to do so. I had the best parents in the world. They had nothing and gave my brother and I everything. Unfortunately they have been taken away from me. I can no longer tell them what they meant to me and to thank them for setting me upon the path my life has taken. I lost my parents at a relatively young age (I'm in my low 40s) yet I know people in their 60s who still have BOTH parents alive.

Spend time with them, let them know they did a good job as parents. The parent gives without thinking to the child who then in turn does the same for their child. Tell them ...

I get along great with my parents and as kids my sister and I never lacked anything. I had a lot of conflicts with my step father growing up but now I value all of the knowledge he possesses. I see them often since they live nearby and I am always consulting my dad on various issues especially home maintenance as of late.

Yes. Although we have our disagreements, I'm thankful that they raised me with my head pointed in the right direction.
