Do you question/remind your parents over their mistakes in raising you? do you re

No one is perfect and parents always make mistakes even with the best of intentions having in heart and mind. I think it is one of the most difficult job in the world.

Is it right to remind them of their mess and mistakes in the age where they cannot do much accept feel guilty.

My mom always asks me "what do you think of me as a parent?" Could i have done better? Is there anything you didnt like, etc. Etc. And i always avoid answering because she does make herself feel guilty and because our family already judges her a lot for the choices my brother and sister have made.
While i do believe mistakes have been made and there are things she could have done better i would never tell her that.
She raised three of us alone and im sure she did the best she could at those times and still is.
As you said theres no need to make her ruminate on things that cant be changed.
I just let her know i love her for what she has done and for being human enough to acknowledge she too has flaws.
@TURTLEGOD i can understand it and awesome job for dealing her with kindness and love.
