do you like your parents?
be honest.
Yes. Now more than when I was younger.
shareThey're dead Jim. Do you like yours ?
I hate when people ask personal questions and don’t give an answer themselves.
What’s your angle Connie? Be honest.
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.”
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.

shareI thought we were going to keep this on the down low.
shareOh 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.
sharelol, nice
shareCould be worse. He could have looked like Melanie Griffith after all the surgeries. Yikes.
shareYes, very much
shareI'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.
shareI’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😁
I don't see why I wouldn't.
But my father passed away nine years ago.
Yes. I hated them when I was a teenager, now they are my best friends.
shareKinda 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.
sharethat's really beautiful. That's the way God intentded it. Three generations living together, or close by.
shareI 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.
shareIt 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.
Ah, much simpler times indeed. Thanks for sharing that.
