I love my parents to death, but I regularly find myself spiting my mom for my impatience and irritability. I can’t seem to stay consistently happy for this reason, my neuroses prevents me from being able to remain positive in the face of everyday annoyances.
shareLike any of you (us) had a choice.
shareHoping I don't inherit A-Fib from my father! He was diagnosed a few months ago and is not having luck with the procedures to get the heart to beat back in rhythm.
share I used to get mad when I was a kid because I inherited my mom's astigmatism while my dad had perfect vision most of his life. I also inherited my mom's lefthandedness, but as I grew older I decided it was really cool.
Of course I hope I've inherited the extreme longevity gene that runs in both sides of their families. Most of my older relatives have passed on from old age or as they say "natural causes". Mom is 82 and still smoking a pack a day in spite of three bouts of pneumonia and needing supplemental oxygen.
Perhaps you could maybe seek help for that that your mom did not?
Being adopted and not meeting my bio mother until my 20s and bio father 39, I don't resent either of them and don't know if I really could. The psychology behind nature vs nurture has always interested me.

shareI think it's awful what they did to all the kids in the Twin Experiment. Neubauer was a real piece of work. Edward Galland wasn't the only one to have committed suicide over it.
Just because the subject fascinates me it doesn't mean that I condone unethical experiments.
Good idea
shareYes. Both are type 2 diabetics and I'm currently pre-diabetes at age 31. I hope I don't
go down that same road.
See I don’t resent them for congenital medical conditions that they had no control over. I suppose you could argue that they had little control over their personality traits either but those seem more adjustable.
shareYour parents had parents. If you have children, should they resent you for your personality traits? You don't sound like someone who would instantly "adjust" in that case.
shareHow could I possibly fault my parents for making the perfect human specimen?
Oh and they made me too!
