Do you think your parents did a good job raising you?

Question

And if you do, do you think you show your appreciation to enough of a degree?

Answer 1

yes but i dont know how i can show appreciation, other than calling them every so often and keeping in touch, that sort of stuff

Answer 2

Yes my parents did a great job of raising me. My parents got divorced and my mom got remarried and I look at my step-dad as a parent to me. I feel very blessed to have both of them. I still see my "real" dad occasionally but he didn't raise me. Do I show them enough appreciation? Can you? They did more for me then I even know about, I'm sure. I am 26, still living at home and planning on returning back to college this spring semester. I am currently doing chores and helping around the house a lot but that isn't enough for everything that they have done for me I'm sure. That is a ver good question. Made me think. Thanks. What about you?

Answer 3

i will always be grateful & feel luckly for the rest of my life that my parents are most accepting human beings on earth. Theyv always have been my retreat when society drains my strength to move on.... ive always taught that the world may not take me as i am, but my mom & dad, always do regardless of how many times i fell short.
right now im the sole bread winner in the family coz back home jobs are scarce, most especially if you're over 50yo. i hope that somehow, having the chance to help them with their everyday expenses would at least show them that no matter what happens, id be there for them when they need me.
Becuase they have always been there, even at times i showed them i didnt need them.

Answer 4

Yes, I think my parents have done a good job raising me

Answer 5

I think they did. I probably don't let them know how much I appreciate them or what they've done for me, though. Now that I have a daughter, I'm pretty confident that what my parents taught me growing up will be good enough to teach her.

Answer 6

I believe they did the best they could. I thing they could have protected me more form certain aspects that happened but I believe they tried their best and loved me.
I try to show them, by raising my kids and watching out for them and letting my parents know that I will take care of them if they ever need me too.

Answer 7

My mother ran off for greener pastures when I was 4 and my father proceeded to date 3-4 women at a time and ask my brother (7) and I to keep it our little secret! Does this sound like a good upbringing? Needless to say my father is on his 3rd marriage, I haven't seen or spoken to my mother in 15 years and I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. My relationship with my father now is fragmented with ups and downs. I could go on but to answer your question...NO!

Answer 8

Yes! I had well balanced and happy childhood. I was taught good morals and values as well as a good work ethic. I was taught to simply do the best that I could. Can we really show enough gratitude?

Answer 9

My mom did great considering I was a horrible teen and she was alone. I dont think I could ever show or say how much I appreciate her enough.

Answer 10

Not exactly, but we do have a good relationship now and I'm not the type of person who blames my parents for every problem that I've had or every mistake I've made. But I do appreciate them and I know they know that I do.

Answer 11

Yes
