do you like your parents?


be honest.

reply

Yes. Now more than when I was younger.

reply

They're dead Jim. Do you like yours ?

reply

I hate when people ask personal questions and don’t give an answer themselves.

What’s your angle Connie? Be honest.

reply

Great, mature reply. Bravo. The OP gives us NOTHING about herself, but demands the most intimate information from us.

It’s like those posts with headlines something like “Life sucks,” with the supporting topic description being an imperious “Discuss.”

reply

My angle will be given at the end of the group discussion. Kind of a Jerry Springer 'final thoughts' moment.

reply

So where’s this enlightening Jerry Springer moment you promised us, huh?

Your angle remains suspicious at best. Big surprise.

reply

it's coming when the show is over!

reply

It’s been the better part of a week now Connie and many of us are honest folks

Get your shit together Connie, tell us about your parents, you are starting to seem like a bore

reply

Good observation. I tend to be naive and want to address many of these seeming straight-forward queries as though they are genuine, but you make a good point that the OP may just be giving us enough rope to hang ourselves without making any commitment on their end.

I know. Anyway, how's your sex life?

Like you don’t know, tiger 🐯

I thought we were going to keep this on the down low.

reply

Oh sorry, I thought we were just keeping that time we saw Ticketsplease in that restaurant secret. Remember how we talked about how much he looked like Antonio Banderas for days? Ah, good times.

reply

lol, nice

reply

Could be worse. He could have looked like Melanie Griffith after all the surgeries. Yikes.

reply

Yes, very much

reply

I'm glad to see this. For me, very little is simply black and white, and I have more than enough to be grateful for as to how my parents treated me growing up. So - yes, I like my parents as well.

reply

I’m happy to hear you are content with your parents
Bless them! You turned out just fine

I just recently started talking with my Dad again, I’ve called him three times during March which is a record, we have hardly spoken in 30 years

He can be really difficult and I’m a pain in the ass too, so we had trouble talking calmly to each other

My Dad is an OK guy, he and I pretty much only annoy each other😁

reply

I don't see why I wouldn't.
But my father passed away nine years ago.

reply

Yes. I hated them when I was a teenager, now they are my best friends.

reply

Kinda hard, because when we went to the beach, my dad would give the lifeguard $10 to keep an eye off me.

Yes. They gave me a wonderful childhood and a great start at life and I am thankful for that every day. They live right down the road from me and my kids basically grew up in their house also. My kids or I visit them at least every other day and I can’t imagine living any other way.

reply

that's really beautiful. That's the way God intentded it. Three generations living together, or close by.

reply

I agree. I don’t think it’s natural for children to leave and move far away. I think different generations in families are meant to support one another.

reply

It was common for generations to live together until the early 20th century, I think.
Back when my older siblings were kids, they had our paternal grandmother living upstairs in our house.
My brother was not an easy baby to take care of, because he would cry all the time.
But it was possible for my grandmother to make him sleep by rocking him on and on for hours.
Later on, our sister and he were able to visit her every day and never needed any other babysitter than her.
She was elderly and had cancer when I was born though.
So she died when I was eight months old and before I could remember her.

reply

Ah, much simpler times indeed. Thanks for sharing that.
