Are you grateful for the sacrifice endured by your parents bringing you into the world?

Answer 1

Yes-for sure.

Answer 2

I know I am to one extent as it was a sacrifice for my Mother as she was disabled. But she never looked at it that way. She loved my Dad and had 7 more children with him. They loved us and provided for us. The didn't feel like they sacrificed anything. They had each other, their children and much love for all and it worked for 54 or 55 yrs. ( I'm starting to forget) until my Dad passed away. Now my Mother is gone too. I am gratefull for the sacrifices they endured for 8 children especially when they didn't feel they were sacrificing anything at all.........that's true love......

Answer 3

i am the product of just a root. Didnt even know my Mother who is now dead and father was a navy boy. He didnt even spend time with me or teach me anything, he just wanted a drinking partner for when I was old enough. I was a good child that was completley overlooked by parents and teachers. Step mother beat the crap out of me and my sister. No love, no guidance at home at all. whats there to be grateful about.?
Essentially an Orphan with parents

Answer 4

I am not sure that parents, mine or other, endure sacrific to bring their child into the world. For most of the time, I believe that we are just by-product of their merry making. For other times, they followed tradition. Yet other, just biologically driven.
Now, that does not mean we shouldn't be grateful. Being grateful is an important element to be happy.

Answer 5

What sacrifice??Dad shot out his genital phlegm Mom endured the 9 months ,Could of been an accident at their expense

Answer 6

Yes very grateful, even though they died at an early age. I still miss them dearly. I was blessed with a wonderful husband of 20 years & 2 great kids. I also thank God everyday.

Answer 7

To tell you the truth, no, not really. My mother didn't sacrifice anything except for the time it took her to give birth to me. She may like to play the martyr and say that she did give up a lot of stuff for me and my sisters, but I never saw it.

Answer 8

What a stupid question. Any parent who says they sacrificed for their kids and makes it sound like a selfless act is full of crap. Procreation is a selfish act - not selfless. Children fulfill our lives and our desire to leave something of ourselves behind. If being a parent means you have to give up something you might have had otherwise, that's no fault of the childs. A child owes their parents nothing out of debt. If a child chooses later in life to give back to their parents, it should only be to repay the love that was given them, and only because they have love to give back.

Answer 9

Of course ,no one will ever love you and scacrifice for you like your parents. The love and sacrifice they passed to me I now pass onto my own kids. Especially my mum, she got sick a week before my first child was born and is now in a nursing home. She looked after everyone but herself.

Answer 10

I'm adopted, so my parents didn't "bring" me into the world, but I'm grateful to them for raising me the best they could. And as for my birthparents, I'm proud to say I came from my birthmother's womb, despite the fact that she was a drug addict, got her children taken away from her, then overdosed and died. As for my birthfather, may he rest in peace, he was a wonderful man, despite his similar flaws.

...what does this have to do with religion and spirituality, though?

Answer 11

No. Life is one of those gifts everyone expects you to be grateful for, even though you never asked for it.
