do you like your parents?


be honest.

reply

mostly no

reply

No, because they made it clear from the get-go that they didn't like me.

reply

yes. they were salt of the earth people who wanted a better life for their kids. they succeeded in that endeavor. they both had a great sense of humor and were very musically inclined. they also knew what absolute poverty was as kids during the depression as newfoundland had third world conditions in some areas of the then british colony.

reply

they sound like wonderful people. Thank you for sharing.

reply

No

reply

why? Were they abusive? Or just no very likeable?

reply

It wasn’t pleasant.

reply

Of course. They're better people than many I have met out in the greater world, though even they aren't perfect.

reply

Nice

I love my parents very much. I had a great childhood.

I miss them every day. My dad passed away 17 years ago and my mom passed 2 years ago.

reply

As people, no. As parents, absolutely not. They're both good cooks, though. I'll give them that.

FYI, everybody, the OP is a man.

But he’s going by the name Connie. That’s his prerogative, but, combined with his reluctance to explain the relevance of his topic, that raises at least a small red flag for me. So does modeling the topic format on Jerry Springer.

Thanks for the heads up.

reply

Imo it doesn't really matter, but okay.

reply

It’s always good to hear from you. I am glad you’re still here!

reply

Thanks. I'm just getting up to more irl, but never fear, if Game of Thrones has taught us anything (and it probably hasn't, since I've not watched the show all the way through), Wint3r is coming. Good to see you're still around also, if only to call out the noobs.

I think this is question you would ask if you're under 18. If you are an adult you love your family and you'll be there for your parents as they get older.

reply

well, I'm 41 and I hate my dad?
