i guess my parents did a decent enough job

I was raised in a loving family but a poor family. My family came here with nothing but they came here with a family full of dreams of making us into something.

I've gone back to my family roots that go back before the 1900's and our family came here with nothing but a desire to make a life for their future children.
I am that generation of children!
I am not a Gen Z girl but I am a mother to Gen x. My parents are considered Gen Y. The baby boomers of this generation.
I've lived here all my life. I was born and raised here and I have family who came here from Honduras and Central America and Italy.
I am 3rd generation Italian and It is only in my blood to fight for my mama who is ready to come home with me. Where I can take care of her.

I WILL NOT LET ANY HOLD OF Government to Control my mother. Not By any of their Overreach or any protocol by Mandates.
My mother is Christian women. She has lived on this earth for over 75 years.
She needs someone to care for her now and it is NOT the government she needs to depend on.

The American dream is gone now. Why, because my family saw it also as a dream over 40 years ago.
Now the 'dream' is nothing but a virtual reality?

I WILL NOT LET MY MOTHER BE CONTROLLED BY AI or through any new technology.

I want my mother to live her last days in a happy place and that is being surrounded with family.
I was raised well , despite growing up w/o a father (he died when I was just less than 4). My mum did all she could in order for us to feel safe and warm and protected , have a good family environment and a good education.

I was raised the best I could have been for the times. Each generation has their style flaws and will continue to screw up in different ways. Parenting is a tough job!

I was raised without a father- I never met him.
mother was really abusive to me, so no.. I really wasn't raised good

Well.
I try and plan for the future and have kept some sort of career going for 35 years.
I'm working with people not things and i have several testimonials that suggest I've been pretty good at it.

If only the economics had been as good during that same time frame.

But then I had no say in that capacity

I wondered about that myself. Mom was always sick so I nearly raised my younger siblings, and Dad was a functional alcoholic who was never home, and when he was, I was never doing enough or doing things right.

It wasn't a terrible childhood, but I guess I'd say I wasn't raised by anyone but myself.

Well considering I raised myself, I'd say I did pretty good. I avoided drugs, jail, and teen pregnancy. 👍🏻

Given the times, parental norms and societal expectations I was raised very well.

Poorly but I also pretty much raised myself.

You really don't want to know the truth to that question

Well enough that there was no abuse, but all my parents sent me out into the world with were my manners and religion, everything else I've had to learn on my own, so I can't say that is a bad thing. I rather enjoy being a free thinker and thinking for myself.

I was raised very well with not so much money around.
I was raised with morals and a constant reminder from my mummy
‘Never break a heart.’

Neither. There's so much to reprogram and catch up on but also it's not the biggest tragedy on earth.

I was incredibly well raised and yes, 'groomed', for the challenges, I will meet, this very day.

I was raised both well and poorly...

I have grievances
The folks did their best.

@bijouxbroussard That's all we can ever do.

At times I'd say poorly, and others, I'd say good enough. But my parents did what they could. For that, I'm grateful.

I actually had a childhood … explored, hung out with friends, had different kinds of pets ( dogs and ducks ) climbed trees , played in the dirt, had sleep overs.. went to the beach that took my folks a ten hour drive to get there …

I’ll always be appreciative of those memories, they will forever surpass any bad glitches along the way
After my Dad died just before I turned 11, very poorly.
