Do you like your mother and father?

Question

I do not wish to be too nosy, but I would love to hear what it is that people like about their parents. Do you approve of their lifestyle, their taste, their social life, their spiritual beliefs .... or is it that they live a beautiful life .... or have a lovely home.... or have a nice family (you included) ... or are they generous with money ... with their time, with their concern for you (regardless of how old you are) .... do you think they stand behind you and encourage you to be who you are and to do your best (any of the above?????) Is either of them a teriffic cook, or do they go on wonderful vacations and take you with them? Are they considerate of you? Do they help you cope with the world by teaching you good manners, helping with your studies ..... or are they supportive of your marriage, if you are of that age ... do they like your children? Are you welcome in their home, if you are on your own or married?
Are they beautiful and glamorous? Please? Ta!

Answer 1

Obviously dear I like my parents.
My son and daughter also likes their parents.

In this world you can not choose your parents. We grow up as per their likings, their beliefs and their style. After we grown up we may differ in choice. We may choose different life style and different religion. However we should not forget or ignore our parents. We should not stop liking them just as because our tastes are different.

If my mother or father cuts my limb - even then I would think it was necessary for me and will not stop loving them.

Answer 2

My father passed away of a brain tumor about 16 years ago, but until he died he was the kind of person that made everyone feel comfortable. He was a sales person to the core, and was great at what he did because he was so naturally friendly. The sight of him always put a smile on your face. His funeral was overwhemingly large for someone not a celebrity, if that gives you a clue as to how well-liked he was.

My mother is a fifth generation Texan, staunch in her faith and steady as a rock. She doesn't have the best sense of humor and worries way too much, but she shows people love in every way she knows how. She's the one that will come and stay at your bedside when you are sick at the hospital, and will gladly do the dishes and bake you meals if you have the flu.

She is deliberate in her showing her love for many people, but has only a small circle of friends. She is slow to speak, slow to anger, but don't push her against a wall because she can and will fight lol.

Answer 3

I loved my father so much, he was kind & good, he was in a wheelchair from a mine accident, he was 47, he lived another 30 yrs.He loved to make people laugh, he was so special. My mother was a strauch christian lady, everyone who meet her fell in love with her, but I never could really talk to her about my problems, she thought everyone was good, which I guess was a good thing, I loved her a lot, but wasn't close to her like my older sisters, were. My oldest sister Mary was more like a Mother to me, there was 40 yrs difference in mine & my Mother's age, she was very strict with me.She had a good life, she lived to be 100 yrs & 3 months old. But I still loved her even though we had difficult times, she always thought she was right. As far as I know my parents were very happy, Mom took care of Daddy through all of his bad years after the accident, I felt loved by both of them.. We were a very poor family but we always had each other, I never had new clothes all through school until I got married, for Christmas we would all get 1 small gift, then a box with 1 apple, 1 orange, 1 banana, handful nuts, & a handfull of hard candy, we always strung popcorn around the tree, made garland out of contact paper, we always had icicles our tree. We thought we were doing great.I wish we could go back to a Christmas like that, Christmas is not even enjoyable anymore, we need to remember what we are celebrating The Birth of Jesus.What I think about is how so many people go so far in debt, I think it's just good enough to have family & friends, & spend time with them & show them love. Thank You for asking. Have a Merry Christmas & a very Happy New year.

Answer 4

My father left when I was 2. My mother is the strongest woman I know. She was a single mother of six kids. She tried her best to make sure we went to catholic/nun schools. Sometimes we went without food, but that was ok coz she worked as a driver. The pay was horrible. She even borrowed food from neighbours and relatives. Though she never hugged us or kissed us, we knew we were loved by her actions. She was a good disciplinarian too. She loves God and prays for us, our spouses and our kids individually and by name. She gave us alot of attention. She made sure every christmas we had new clothes and shoes. She has become very sick off late, she survived uterine cancer, a stroke and celebral menengities. Before that she made sure all her children had their own homes even if she had to build them by hand herself. She encourages us to work hard and save our monies. She is ready for heaven and looks forward to the day God will call her home. I think this might be the last christmas with her and that is why I am having christmas in Africa. We have made her life comfortable now and she is the most taken care of mother I know. She also is very funny and witty. I call her superwoman. She is unstoppable. The most fun person to be around. I miss her greatly when I am here and she is sooooo far away!! I LOVE YOU MOM!! If there was a mountain nearby, I would love to go to the top and yell to the world how much I love her. She is a gem. She would love to go on vacation but bcoz of her sickly body, she cant. I know before she goes to heaven, she will ask go God to go on a tour of the world, then go to heaven. I hope and pray, that I have inherited her kind of strength and love and compassion.

Answer 5

I LOVE my parents. My parents taught me right from wrong and how to succeed in life. No I didn't have the perfect childhood, but they always told me they loved me and truly wished for the best for me and always cared for me. They are no longer married, however, have maintained a close friendship despite serious problems in the marriage. They love me unconditionally and support me in every decision I make. I moved over 900 miles away to be with my boyfriend...and they supported me and loved me every step of the way...even though it was tough and no one knows whether their relationship will work out...that meant the world to me....NOW 4 years later - and still in the relationship - they know I made the right choice...and were there for me when times were tough.
Both of my parents are gorgeous! Mom in late 40's - Dad in early 50's - and my mother looks like she is in her 30's and my dad is fit and has a six pack and looks younger than ever! I am PROUD of my parents and very glad I have them.


My mother is the terrific cook - she cooked home made meals ALL my life! I wish I could cook as good as she does!

Our lives together were never extraordinary...but I have many great memories and we truly have a father/daughter - mother/daughter bond that will never be broken. We as a family have been through hell and back...but because of them I am where I am today and wouldn't be the person I am without the trials and hard times....and I learned to truly love them for who they ARE as much as they do me!

Thanks for asking!

Answer 6

My parents were never perfect. My dad sometimes made me so angry I would
slam out of the room and go to my room and cry. My mom was such a perfectionist that she made me feel incompetent. They were human beings
with human faults. By being human they let me be flawed too. I am not
perfect either. Both of my parents have passed on, it will be three years
for my mom January lst. My dad had a date and went to be with her on
Valentine's day, just a little over a month later. I miss them so much everyday
that my heart actually hurts. They weren't rich, famous, or terribly handsome,
beautiful or talented. They were both special for lots of other reasons. Mom
could cure anything with her old time remedies. Dad could make me laugh
when I wanted to cry. I look in the mirror and see both of them in my face.
They were amazing.

Answer 7

I'll tell you what: at least one of mine should not have become a parent. There is no affection with my mother and my dad considers me an enemy. They are both athiests (I'm agnostic), staunchly liberal, divorced, and socially withdrawn. I have respect for my mother. There's nothing I can do about my father and I've accepted that.

A parent's legecy can partly be defined by the kind of family their offspring creates. My sister is educated and married but has no children yet. I'm almost 37 and never had a relationship, much less kids.

I'm pretty damn bitter about my family.

Answer 8

I didn't like my father while I was growing up. He was an alcoholic until I was in my mid twenties and I never knew him sober until after I had long left home and was married, just prior to his death. Most of my growing up years were spent getting beatings with his belt (got some lovely scars on the backs of my legs), or his fists (broken nose, nerve and muscle damage plus fractured cheekbone on the left side of my face)
Can't say that I ever really liked my mother, she is/was manic depressive and refused meds because she didn't want anyone to know she had a "problem" therefore she took her "problem" out on me I was the victim of her constant verbal and emotional abuse.
My father passed over 20 years ago and I have no idea whether my mother is dead or alive since I have not seen or spoken to her in almost 6 years, and I have no desire to do so.

Answer 9

I love my parents but I do not always LIKE them.

We share VERY different opinions about life in general and that causes friction, so we avoid certain subjects and it is a mutual agreement.

However, we have a blast together when we get together. People comment on how much fun, we the kids, have with our parents. (we in our 40's and our parents in their 60's) I guess some people do not have this type of relationship. I consider myself very fortunate to have a family that can over look our differences and move on.

Answer 10

I love both of my parents very very much.
They both love me and my sisters very much and I believe that they love each other more than anything in the world.
What they believe has obviously been what I've grown up with and though they cannot make the descision for me, I am a Christian as they. My mother is strong Christian. A good role model for me.
They got me two llamas for my birthday and my mother is a stay at home with my sisters and I (Homeschooled). My father hates his job but goes everyday for us: he holds a responsibility for us and all of us appriate it greatly.
We spend almost all of our time together. There are few people I would rather be with in the world than my family because I must say that I am not too popular with the peers.
They press on me to pursue my dreams. Generally, they are considerate, but often my mom does do things that ANNOY me. If she didnt bother me at all, though it wouldnt be reality and I wouldnt be anything special for loving her.
They are both very precious.

Answer 11

Well..I do like them..now that are old..they have their ways..but I have mine so I wouldnt spend a whole day or going out with them.They taught me some stuffs but they were pretty much strict,not helping in studies nor encourage me for what I want to do.In fact they forced me to become a doctor..me who prefer litterature and computers..they arent definitevely generous with money..our home isnt that lovely its negelected as they wont do anything to improve it..imagine it has been painted over for over 11 years...all that because they wont spend money for anything..even food.and they do have money.Tehy arent very social so it got on me too..I have very hard time to establish relationship and make friends..I have very few friends if not to say hardly none.Anyways its my fault too..but i wish they let me more free when i was kid so that at least I could have friends and social experience of things.
