Who here is genuinely grateful to your parents for being born and why?
Are you grateful to your parents for being born? Why or why not? What are you thankful your parents did when you were younger? What made you realise you appreciate your parents?Anyone else feel incredibly grateful for having normal parents?
I was reading about Rose and Fred West. My god, what a pair of scumbags. Their daughter, now in her late 40s with her own family, was speaking about her experiences as a child in the West household. I was reading about her childhood and It was very harrowing. It is amazing how she even turned out a normal functioning human being. It made me think how fortunate I am to have had normal parents. I was so lucky to be born to such loving and compassionate parents. I'm about to get out of the military after four years of service and instead of dreading moving back in with them like most of my friends are, I'm only excited. I get to live in the same house with my best friends again. What things are you grateful to your parents for? How do you thank your parents?
My upbringing wasn't bad. Sure my parents split when I was 8 but they were both still excellent parents. And now that I'm 25 and still uneducated and working in (at least higher end) kitchens, I just don't want them to think they failed me, because the undertones are definitely there. Not that they're dissapointed, but they know I can do better. I'm going to go back to school eventually; soon even. I don't know...I just feel like I owe them something big. This is a late night drunken rant, I'll admit. But doesn't every parent deserve to be proud of their children? Is it inherent? Are they proud no matter what? Or should we have to prove ourselves? I feel like I do. I dunno, I should go to bed...I'll definitely reply to anyone who responds to this though.
