What Advice Did You Get From Your Parents

And NOT follow, but wish you had?
When have you had to admit that your parents were right about something, after all?
My mother always told me you can count your true friends on one hand… and she was right! Most people are associates…
@SW-User I’ve found it to be true… what about you?
SW-User
@NoGamesTolerated [c=004A59]Oh yeah...and stupid me, I went right on trusting people who were obviously false to me.[/c]
@SW-User I have too… 😢

My (grand) parents told me “What’s meant to be, will be”
SW-User
@BalmyNites [c=004A59]It sounds comforting, but I still have questions about that one.[/c]

My parents support everything I do

But shit they shouldn’t have signed those papers for me to join the Army😂😂😂

@SW-User I was in, recently discharged
SW-User
@ImRileyTheDog [c=004A59]It's good though that your parents are supportive no matter what. A lot of us wish we could say the same.[/c]

To have more confidence in myself, in general. Unfortunately, that advice is not something that can be achieved by just [i]sometimes[/i] words.

@Piper [c=004A59]My mum used to say 'Just BE confident", as if it was something you can turn on and off like a light switch. It isn't that simple.[/c]
Piper · 61-69, F
@SW-User Not that simple at all.

Never join EP
@SW-User how right they were…
SW-User
@SW-User [c=004A59]Yep. I [i]know[/i] my parents would agree with that one.[/c]

When they told me not to do drugs
SW-User
@SW-User [c=004A59]My parents didn't say much, but my jr. high biology class teacher preached against drugs. I was convinced. The idea of trying them never appealed to me.[/c]
SW-User
@SW-User I knew it was a bad idea. I was just a messed up kid who didn't care. Wish I had cared tho.
SW-User
@SW-User [c=004A59]Live and learn as they say. For me, it wasn't drugs, it was other stuff, so I know about regrets.[/c]
