Well my parents gave me the best MORALS, I still stand by them. I expect others that come into my life to stick with them as long as they are in my presents. Basic rules are don't put your elbows on the table, don't use the Lords name in vain and don't talk badly about others weather I know them or not in my presents.
The one thing I believe they did wrong was: Put on an act. Even if we were in the middle of an disagreement and someone come over everything would stop, we had to put on a happy little smile and act like we were the best of friends. To this day I still put on a happy smile even if I'm completely miserable. Everyone thinks I have the perfect life and I feel I can't turn to anyone. Because family problems shouldn't be aired in public

Well in defense of all parents, kids don't come with how to books. I use to think that my parents couldn't do anything right. Then I became a parent and then I began to see it wasn't what they were doing wrong it was how I saw it. All parents make mistakes. It is part of human nature to make mistakes. For all of the parents that abused their children, I think they are sick. Thank God I have great parents, of course I didn't see it as a child.

Right: They provided for me very well. I had a nice room, a stereo, typewriter, nice clothes, and we lived in a nice house.
My dad talked to me like I was intelligent, although we never agreed on any issues. My mom was a very efficient housewife and did a lot of crafts.
Wrong: My dad was an alcoholic and was always "half in the bag"
My mom never said a good thing about me or anything I did. She criticized me, constantly for not being the pretty, popular daughter she wanted.
Having said that I know my parents did the best job of raising me that they could.

I say there is no wrong or right. You the person you are today because of the way you were raised. sure everyone wants to know what ifs, but I think coming from a divorced parents and being married with two kids that if i hadn't learned form them that I could work threw my marriage.

Once you become a parent, you realize there is no wrong and right. You just do the best that you can. Unfortunately, children don't come with a handbook and though we put our parents on a pedestal they are only human. Just take the best of them and throw out the rest....

My parents gave me a good set of values; to know the difference between right and wrong. They were a little too strict, but I do understand why they were that way, especially after raising children myself!

My mom didnt raise me... She did drugs instead. My dad worked all the time and came home and got p i ss drunk and they fought whenever they could. In the 6th grade my mom and i moved out to get away from him for 2 and a half years. When we came home my dad was better with his temper but he still gets pi ss drunk and my mom still does coke but they both came around alittle to late... Im pretty much done raising myself now. I tought myself nothing but what i knew... i am 15 now but ive got alot of work to do on myself now that im older and know more... Like some type of self confidence (which is comming slowly)... And im getting along better with my Cerebral palsey which ive had since birth cause unknown either from drugs my momma did during pregnancy or the Doctor. Ive learned ALOT within this last year though by going through alot. HAHA thanks it felt good to tell the world my life story

It was my mom who gave us morals. I have 11 sisters and brothers, brought up on the largest farm in our town, worked very hard all my life. My mom always taught never, ever be prejudice toward any one else because we are all made in the image and likeness of God. My dad was brutal, we learned later in life he was a closet drinker now it all made sense why he was so brutal. No matter what your parents do, it seems we are always trying to win their approval. I love my parents and still I feel they did no wrong in bringing is up. My mother was like no other. She was the best, most caring, most loving, most giving, person in the world. We lost her in January this year and it still hurts. I miss you mom.

My mother had a very bad temper and was a little rough on us. It took me a long time to realize she was trying to raise 5 children, all very close in age, pretty much by herself. My dad was in the Navy and gone a lot. She was always involved in whatever we were involved in. She taught our Sunday School classes, was Scout Leader, Home Room Mom, drove the church bus and anytime we went anywhere we each got to bring one friend so she usually had 10 kids in tow. No wonder she was such a drill sargeant! I can still talk to her about anything, and my dad too and they are GREAT grandparents. Their both still very involved in the lives of their children and grandchildren.

My parents taught me many trades and talents, gave me sooo much love and prayed so much for me, yet they also were too protective by not letting me eat sugar, watch normal tv shows, listen to rock music, etc,....I then became a very loving rebellious child, yet when I was done sowing my wild oats made to be a very loyal and loving human being who really knows how to live life to the fullest.
Thanks mom and dad, i love you always, you are the bomb!
