All parents have sayings and lessons they've taught their children. What did your parents teach you that you still own up to today?

Respect.
Learn to respect others and you deserve to be respected the same way. My parents have been thoughtful all my life, always been there for moral support but always ready to correct me when i get wrong. As a wild child ive tried everything id like to experience while a teenager, now that im finally an adult all their teachings has slowly become a part of who i am. I have friends in college who forced me to do drugs and other crazy things, i almost gave in but the words of my parents got stuck in my head.... that respect is the same as trust, once youve lost it, it will be the most difficult to get back. I learned self-control, though im a true adventurer, I never crossed the line of mere experience, real adventure for me is a quest for self evolution. to be a better person without losing respect of yourself.
for if i can keep that respect of myself, I will be able to do good and be respectful of others. I can have friends from different walks of life without looking down of them, i can remain loved without taking advantage of its priviledge.

The meaning of true love.
They are reaching the 50 anniversary and they are happily married. In the world that we are living more than half of matrimony ended in divorce. Many get married for the wrong reasons like money of good status in the society and when the things go wrong they escape the reality. The true love brake all the barriers. I'm very proud of my parents.

I was adopted and the best thing they taught me was how to move out when I got old enough.

That hickeys on your neck give you cancer. ( a lie )
That peanut butter comes from trees. ( a lie)
That if you have constant earaches a hotwater bottle will do the trick. (I now have loss of hearing due to massive scar tissue on my eardrums).
That if you , once an adult, give up everything, (your job, your health insurance, and your home) to move in with them to take care of them so they do not have to go to a nursing home they can still lie to you and do you wrong, and change their mind, and not let you move in because they are are "claustrophobic" ...... Leaving you out on your A$$ with no job, no health insurance, and no home, and all they have to say about it is "TOUGH".
They are just another human being........let the professionals deal with them.........!!!!!!!!

Nothing worth having in life comes free of charge.
A happy family, respect, financial independence, friends, satisfaction with life - all of these things have a price tag to them. If you want to have it, you have to earn it by investing your time and energy.

My Mom told me to be honest in all things. To this day I still practice and believe that because it gives me comfort and peace in all things I say and do.

They taught me respect. From respecting someone's privacy to respect someone's feelings, but most of all to respect myself.

My mom said "Marriage is the direct cause of divorce. You never hear of people getting a divorce if they didn't get married!"

Don't make babies if you don't know how to raise them properly. I'm still unmarried waiting for a woman who knows how to raise kids properly.
