My mom and dad are the best parents evar!!! But... They're both 51 and they're health is getting worst and worst... My mom could stop working because of her leg always hurting and my dad's always getting more paranoid each and everyday... He shouted at the TV yesterday, anyways he has paranoid schitzofrenia (I know it's not spelled right or is it? I just guessed the spelling lol.)... I hope they'll last long... They are the nicest parents and most helpful too. flower;
My mother passed and I barely see my dad. I live with my sister. I use to live with my Grandmother, but we didn't get a long.

Your mom died? That sucks.
My parents are real good to me, especially my mom. She deals with so much stuff, and yet she's still really nice and good to us. My dad is good too; his stinginess is kinda getting to us, though.
Overall, they're great parents.

Coatesville, PA. He is cool, but he struggles.
What do you mean by good or bad? Do you mean by good, buying you lots of things to make up for not liking you. Or bad, for not buying you the things you want?

No, just how they treat you. educate;
I'm really undecided with mine. Parents have been divorced like 10 years.
My mom is normally mean to me so I avoid her at all costs.
I rarely see my dad, but when I do he is nice.
Step dad is normally nice, but tends to side with my mom no matter what.

I like my parents, we always get along, if I ask them to help me buy somthing they will if I'm a little short and I don't even have to pay them back. But don't only that but we sometimes do things together.

Im sorry.
Well, since I don't live with either of them...they're not very good.
My dad is good, but he moved to GA to find better jobs.

Any ways, my parents are sorta awesome. My dad practically doesn't care what I do. I took twenty bucket from his wallet and he didn't care. He would let me go places with my friends. So would my Mom. But they both are pretty quick-tempered. My mom get s mad pretty easily, but she's also pretty nice. She shops with me, buys me a TON of clothes, even shops where I shop, like at Hollister and maybe Abercrombie&Fitch. My dad lets us spend whatever we like. But sometimes they do get mad for no reason, but those days, I'm just on the computer to leave them alone. My dad goes through all the fuss taking me to the mall and the Arboretum every week. They don't really give me any allowence, but I don't care, I have quite a lot of money from birthdays, and my grandparents who sometimes give me money just for no reason, and for clothes. My mom helped pay extra for my ipod. My aunt bought me my DS. But my mom is really sick, and she can't be the way she was before. She used to be sexy, skinny and fit. Now well, she's very sick and sometimes she can't really go out. I don't mind not going to the mall every week. She always says she'll buy me extra if we don't go that week. I sometimes pay for my own clothes because I'm afraid to make my parents spend so much. I pay for my own games, I bought my own computer. I also bought my mom a new bag, and a treadmill. When I don't have school and there isn't much to do in the summer, she takes my brother and I to the park or to the pool. They eventually get mad, but I don't care. My mom taught me to be really skilled at math, and now I'm in G.A.T.E. They aren't so proud of straight A's though. They expect a lot out of me and I give them what I can. The worst grade I've ever got on a math test was probably a C. I'm also a relally good reader, I learned to read my first Dr.Seuss book when I was two. I learn my Times tables #s 0,1,2,4,5,6,10,and 11 before kindergarten. I'm pretty much and A student thanks to my mom. My mom also taught me to be athletic. I'm probably the strongest girl in my class, maybe grade. When we go to the park, we sometimes play tennis, walk, or play just whatever there is! My life is kinda balenced, better than most>.>, worse than some. But I kinda like my life. City is awesome. flower;
My parents have their faults, but they're really liberal and they support my musical endeavors and that's enough for me.

Schizophrenia, actually.
My parents, overall, they're pretty good. They both fight a lot, which really bugs me. But they tend to make up and forget it ever happened. They're great to me, though. They do whatever they can with their limited supplies and such.
Neither of them went to college. My father is stuck working at a fucking grocery store, and my mom doesn't have a job because of disability problems. She was injured on the job a while ago.
That's what led me to get a job at age 13, working as a carny. emo; That's over now, though.
I've got a decent job for a 15 year old, and my parents are doing well.
So it's all good.

You could give the money to charity.
The relationship with my father and I is very little like the typical father-and-son relationship. We're more like bar buddies who usually don't talk to eachother, but when we do, it shoots about two and a half hours out of our day. I don't technically consider him *the best* father, though. For the first couple years of my life, he caused a heavy deal of emotional trauma. Later on, though, he began to learn how to control his anger, and has gotten a little bit better. By now though, I've learned how to edge around his anger.
My mother is different, though. Sometimes I'll admit to myself that I think she's annoying and says and does things without thinking, but she's been through a lot, and I can't blame her for the way she is. She's suffered more mental trauma than some vegatables, and has a great deal of emotional issues she has yet to deal with from her childhood. As for being a mother, I can at least tell she cares.
I hate my dad. caterpie;
I only have arguements with my mom, and I'm fucking scared of my dad to start shit with him. emo;
I should be nicer to my parents, they do everything for me..
i have just about everything I want, but my dad's hella stingy and my mom's really strict about girfriends. I'm 16.5 and she still says I'm too young to have a girlfriend..oh well...
My parents make me buy my own systems, usually. Games, too. But they buy me just about whatever I need for my trombone and studies of. So that's nice. My mom's always yelling about somethbing and my dad works 16 hours a day manual labor and so when he gets home, he watches TV until he falls asleep. THe only reason we have a 67" TV and surround sound and bluray player and all of that jazz is because of my dad. They're okay parents to live with, just as long as you're wiling to tell the occasional lie.

My parents don't (and won't) tolerate my lifestyle.
Lately though, the family has been working together with family/money problems.
So things are getting better. Slowly, but surely.
2 days ago I had an epic arguement with my father.
He got angry at us when me and my bro had the tv, computer on and playing MY DSL while on the computer talking with you people. So anyways, He keeps on repeating everything like 8 times. I got so pissed. Then he talked about how the movie we were watching while he arguing was/is spying on him because the background keeps on moving. He shouted that my aunts and uncles are talking about him and I yelled they're not doing this to you! He said that I was getting crazier from going on the internet. I heard so amny false things from his mouth and I was about to yell at him so much but I was too scared... But after that day... Everything turned normal. flower;
I never want to go through that again.

My parents kinda suck. Basically, my mom has been starting totally pointless fights with my dad for longer than I can remember, which usually go from "What's for dinner?" to "You're a fucking monster, I want to kill you" in a matter of minutes. As far as I can tell, they pretty much hate each other. I still remember when I used to sit on the stairs and watch them fight when I was around 3. I've been telling them they really need a divorce for years, but they refuse to get a divorce because they say if they did, they wouldn't have enough money to pay for both my brother and I to go to college, so they're basically only staying together for me and my brother, which I guess means they really care about us, although you wouldn't really be able to tell sometimes...
My mom has a lot of problems. As far as I can tell, she has paranoia schizophrenia, just by the way she acts. She talks to herself at least a few hours a day, and she's always kind of non-responsive when she's talking to herself, like, you have to yell at her to get her attention when you're in the same room if she's talking to herself. And on top of that, she panics over the stupidest little things, she always makes me get up and lock the door if she hears a car coming, she moved to this house way up in the mountains because she thought our old neighbor was going to kill her, and she always makes me turn the lights off upstairs if she hears a helicopter. I could go on for hours. Anyways, she doesn't exactly like me either. I get into fights with her almost as much as my dad, and it gets physical sometimes. She even shoved me out the door and locked me out in the rain once not too long ago. I really feel like if they got a divorce and I moved in with my dad, all my problems would be solved, but they refuse to.
I always feel so whiny when people make these kinds of threads. china;
Wow, your mom does more crazy shit then my dad. Don't you get scared of her sometimes? I know I'd get really scared and I'm pretty overreactive sometimes so that makes it worst.

There's no debate. Most people here have great parents compared to others. Unless your parents don't feed you and keep you locked away in the attic for your whole life, you should be saying that your parents are great. They care enough to love you, and that's saying something.
As for me, I love my parents. Sure, they piss me off sometimes, but I don't hate them. I only get to see them on the weekends, though, because I live so far away. D=
To sum it all up, none of you should be saying that your parents suck ass, because they love you enough to care for you.

Well, can't you tell him, a few things? CAn't you teach him to understand? I'm sorry but I don't know much about schizophrenia.
My parents are awesome. Why? We share a mutual understanding of one-another. A mutual respect. Things that are sadly, not found in most relationships between parents and their children. I am very close to my parents and my family and I always have been. They are my best friends.
My parents are great and supportative! They listen to my opinions and I listen to theirs!

My parents are great. Just about the greatest people ever. flower;
They used to be a little over-protective, though. :\
And they didn't teach me to tie my shoes until I was around nine. psyduck;
But other than little things like that, they're awesome. flower;
My mom sucks. I dislike her. She's an extremely protective conservative Christian. Not only do I disagree with her way of parenting, but her religious views really irk me. I'm 16, and I still have to lie and sneak to go see R-rated movies or something. Worst part is, I've been doing this since I was 12. So much for her wonderful parenting; it's taught me to be a liar. :| ...I really don't understand her philosophy, though. It's like, "If they never never know that drugs or sex or violence or anything except Jesus exists, then that is a good thing! Yay! flower;". However, as is obvious, a childhood completely sheltered from drugs and sex and anything otherwise a part of reality is absolutely awful for someone. I could see this being a good thing at age 9 or 10, but when I'm 16, it's just not logical. Fortunately I'm a smart enough person to explore these things for myself, and she's a stupid enough person to not realise this.
My dad, on the other hand, who I live with the other half of the time, is great. He pretty much has the exact opposite outlook on parenting, which is part of why he divorced. When I was 12 and my mom found me looking at porn, she enforced all sorts of absurd punishments... my dad, on the other hand, simply said, "Eh, you shouldn't be looking at that stuff, just get a girlfriend". And I respect him for that, among many other things. :P
i hate my parents.
ones decisions has managed to fuck up my life over the past 13 years.
and the other hates me and told me to move out because he doesn't want me around anymore.
My parents are usually pretty good... Sometimes my dad will randomly flip out on people though, probably an effect he received from being in a couple warzones.
Also, they're a little overprotective. Like, "No, you can't go play cards, because the police will show up and arrest you, and then no college will take you because it will be on your record." psyduck;
Bad. I live with niether of them.
I'll elaborate more later...
My parents are O.K. My dad is a lazy bum without a job, but he's cool sometimes. And my mom is a smoker who sometimes has really bad mood swings.
Both are getting near 50 years of age, so we don't really do any physical activities anymore.
They gifts they give are below average considering what other kids get, but I understand it's because we are short on funds.

Your parents are kind of like mine... Except that they are 50, my mom doesn't smoke, and they give me gifts of what some regular kids get.
But, we did have some money problems when my dad becomes a bum sometimes because he's mentally ill and can only take control over it for about 2 months before he acts wild, that's when he quits his job and spends most of the day shouting at everything because he's paranoid and actually thinks that some oof out family members are spying on him.

Both of my parents are approaching 50 as well. My dad is turning fifty in four months, and my mom is turning fifty in six months.
I dunno if I would trade my parenst for yours...Having them alive and well is a big thing. I'd hate to admit it, but I don't expect my mom to live 15 years more. Even though your dad is handicapped, he is still alive and will probably live longer than my mom.

Well if he is schizophrenic, he's a paranoid schizophrenic, which could be considered "Stage 2" out of 4 of schizo. There's more to it than being paranoid, though. Schizophrenics generally are very withdrawn from the real world, preferring to speak to imaginary people, base their suspicions on their own imaginations, etc. If someone can tell the real world from their imagination, they're not schizophrenic.
This man may only have a paranoid personality type. There
is a difference.
My parents used to fight all the time and not pay attention to us (me and my sister).
This all started about 5 years ago.
When I wanted to state my opinion on something, my mom used to yell "NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION". When one of us would cry, she'd tell us to shut up. When we wanted to tell her something and she was on the phone, she's swat at us telling us to go away.
After her and my dad got divorced, she spent all her time on the internet looking for guys.
Now I live with my Grandparents.

My parents are not old. My Mom is like 32 and my Dad is like 31. Both listen to rap and play World of Warcraft. And my Mom and Dad know how to text and are not technology stupid, accept my Mom that has broke like 9 windows computers and a few pocket PCs, they all died horrible deaths.

I find this very odd.
You have an amazing life. Oddly, it seems like your mom gave birth to you when she was still in high school (you're 15/16, right?), assuming she didn't drop out. Usually this leads to a bad life for the parent and the child, yet it is quite the opposite in your case.
Now we hear other stories of people's parents that actually thought about having a kid before actually doing it, yet the majority here have average/under average lives.
This doesn't make sense to me. psyduck;
Despite the fact that they nag and try to control my life a lot, my parents are actually quite good people to me. My mom is very young and had me when she was only 18. My mom's life was pretty depressing because of the fact that she had to raise me in poverty and a in house full of in-laws; now, being unrelated to all the people around you--they tend to treat you like shit, even a house-slave.
When I was born, we were very poor because my dad was preparing for his medical career and we had to live in a damn 3-bedroom apartment with over 15 people living in there. By the time I developed needs (games, toys, etc...) we couldn't afford it, and I lived a miserable life. Later on, at around 2002 or something--my dad began his profession as a pediatrician in one of the best hospitals in New York. It was then that we started to get richer.
Now, we live in nice three-bedroom house with me, my four sisters and my parents. Going through all that, we try to make each other's lives good. Needless to say, my parents are great in all. The only problem I ever have with them is the fact that they tend to be overprotective thus not letting me do some of the shit I want.
sorry i had to go through all that backstory or whatever

That's probably the biggest difference I know between parents.
Umm mine are in the middle....
They do nice things for me and always have my best intrest at heart but their so damn annoying! constantly nagging at what not.
Somehow I missed this thread when it was first posted so I guess I'll post now.
My "father" walked out when I was two, so he's obviously not a good parent. I'd say he's the only person I can say that I'd kill if I had the chance. I haven't told people this(other than Clucky and another person or two) but I have issues with worrying about being abandoned and I'm sure this has something to do with it, even though I don't remember much from when he was around or him leaving. He came back once about 10 years ago, wanted visitation rights, used them them about 4 times, and I haven't heard from him since--and I don't have a desire to either, abandoning your kids once is bad enough. Doing it twice is just cruel.
I was raised by my mother and step-father(who I will refer to as my father for the rest of the post since he is what a father is. He was there for my birthdays, for school events, etc.) Growing up, my relationship with them wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I always felt like my mother would put more focus on my sister and my father would put focus on my brother and as if there was no one there for me. I'm sure they didn't mean it(or even see it like that. It's just my perception of what happened), but it still has an effect.
My mother is highly overprotective and that caused a lot of problems growing up. She seemed to enjoy setting strangely early bedtimes and only lightened up on those during high school. She is one of those people who would read the rating on everything and would be really uptight about it. I couldn't have "t" rated games until I was 13 or 12, I didn't get an M rated one until I was 16 ( smithicide; ). When i was 11 or 12 I wanted to go see a movie with my friends but she wouldn't let me because it was rated PG-13, what the fuck is that? Her monitoring of music content was annoying too. You have no idea how difficult it is to make friends when people are picking on you for no reason and you can't make friends with the ones who aren't because you have no way to relate. Discussing movies, things on TV, games? Forget it. After the movie came out on video I might have gone to my friend's house and saw it there, but by then people were talking about something else. She was also pretty annoying with the whole "oh ur 2 yung to hav girlfriend thing". Even though I doubt any girls were interested in anything other than harassing me ( :( ), this didn't make anything easier. I'm the oldest child so I had no brother or sister to help me here, and I couldn't go to my mom because "lol ur 2 yung for dat" or my dad because my mom is crazy and would yell at him. At this point I don't live with her. Her and my dad got divorced last year and she got all bitchy at me because I didn't want to live with her("bawwww he's not even ur rl dad y dont u lub you selfish brat. ur not even old enuff to make this choice", I went off at her for the "real dad" comment telling her what a real father was. I still don't know how I convinced her to let me stay here for the few months that I was under 18). She still calls me and bothers me to visit her every other week or two. That's basically all I can handle, I can't stay with her for more than a few hours at a time before she starts driving me crazy. I guess the whole consolation prize of her lackluster mothering is the fact that she made me read the bible(lol christian), which caused me to wonder what the fuck was going on there and notice all of the contradictions, and subsequently realize that Christianity is a bunch of bull. yay
k on to daddy baddood;
I don't really have much to say here since even though I now realize how much of a bitch my mom is, I was closer to her growing up and I pretty much kept away and didn't bother with him until high school. I don't know why, as a child I always felt like he didn't like me, even though that wasn't true. He really didn't do much wrong, he just didn't want my mom to bitch like she always did(I think something is wrong with her mentally), so he pretty much stayed out of stuff. He's not that great with finances(lol no internet right now), but he's not a bad parent. yeah i was gonna say more but i forget ;-;
Also, together they weren't the most helpful with making sure I succeeded. During elementary school I'd get great grades and all I'd get from them was "nice job" or a small game if it was the last quarter of the year and i had all A's (basically one time). There wasn't much motivation for me to try. When I got to 6th grade and had to deal with all of the bullshit of trying to make new friends in a new city, failing, and being picked on, my grades suffered quite a bit since I didn't feel like doing anything once I got home. My parents made sure to take the time to bother me about my grades now. That pattern pretty much led me to slacking off for the rest of the time I was in school. Succeeding really didn't get much to show that they cared, but getting lower grades did. It was some attention that I never got and it gave me a slight feeling of being wanted--something I never get. :( the only time i got to feel loved was negative attention. doodthing;
so ya that's it. with parents like mine you get the socially avoidant, spiteful, lonely, dickish, atheist jmv who spends all day talking to people online with the only thing to look forward to later in the day is talking to a person. ;-;
JMV do you need a hug?
This is a strangely interesting thread although I cant stand the posts that conform to the general tone of "I hate my parents because they're annoying". How petty it that?
Jmv, I sympathize, but the whole "overprotective" thing....
As far as the ratings deal, she probably just had your best interests at heart. I guess I dont find conforming to those when you're younger as the worst thing in the world.
Same with the grades. When I was younger I never expected a single thing for getting decent grades. It's absolutly repulsive to think that some parents actually pay their children to achieve a certain grade or merit. What's that teaching them? That they should expect some massive reward for every little mediocre achievement they come upon. No thinaks. It's the general tone of society now; give me something for doing this......
Divorce, seperation and essential abandonment are especially shitty things, but you cant let those negative experiences mould your person. You should be using those tougher lessons to reinforce, not break down. The best thing to do, duder, would be wipe away some of the bitter attitude and spread out socially. Your entire attitude depends on how you percieve the world around and the experiences you've been though. So, just tweak your mindset a little bit, tell yourself things really could be a hell of a lot worse (starving kids in china, Aids, the usual) and take a new stance. I'll probably get called out for my little suggestions, but take note my intentions were good and golden. Peace.
Well, my dad left us before my first birthday and never has communicated with us since. I guess he's better than my sister's dad who has done the same but doesn't pay child support.
My mom sheltered me way too much (I didn't know what sex is until about one year ago). She also seems a little immature with extremely poor money management skills, trying to go out and do something every single weekend and bringing me along (We went places like the local zoo, Tampa Busch Gardens, Orlando Sea World, Florida Aquarium, etc. like every week), never planning in advance (so I never knew when we were going until I'm woken up the day we leave), keeping way too many pets, making the whole house a huge mess, and trying to pick arguments with my grandmother over ridiculous things. She spoils me with plenty of presents on my birthday and Christmas but those are the only two days each year she ever gets me anything and she never gives me any money to spend on anything other than school lunches. Instead of being too overprotective, she was trying to encourage me to do things like getting a girlfriend, going to parties, and having a large group of friends to go out and do stuff with (none of which I have ever done).
My grandmother has always been there since my mom can't afford a house of her own but there isn't much to say about her. She's a lot more responsible than my mom, paying all bills for the house (TV, electric, phone, internet, water, etc) and buying groceries for us. She used to work as a nurse from 2pm-12am every day but recently retired in December. My mom's want to leave the house grew after my grandmother retired because of wanting to avoid her. My grandmother rarely argues against my mom because she knows that it never can accomplish anything with my mom not respecting any opinions other than her own. She usually just stays home now, trying to make slight progress on cleaning up my mom's messes and often watching soap operas.
I think that my dad sucks, my mom tries but her personality messes things up, and my grandmother is good but not good enough to stand up to some of the stupid things my mom does.
Edit: I noticed I have a lot of parenthesis so I think making them smaller makes the post easier to read.

My mother is the same way and it pisses me off. Nearly every other week she's asking how do I expect to ever get a girlfriend, friends, or go to a party. And when I tell her that I don't give a damn about that stuff she says I'm lying and I'm depressed and should go see a psychiatrist.
My parents aren't bad parents, it's just my dad.
My dad is a huge druggy. HUGE. He first started doing drugs at age 12 when my uncle gave him some of his weed. He's now 45 years old and addicted to crack. he's been arrested under the influence many times and drinks to come down from the crack. He's also bipolar. He's supposed to be on medication for it but he can never afford it. My sister got the worst of his antics though. She's walked in on him when he had a shotgun in his mouth, she's had to drive him to hospital because he took a bunch of pills, and he's also been so high he didn't know who he was talking to and offered her some of his crack. His never been to any of our awards ceremonies or anything because he has "antisocial disorder" and never wanted to be around people. I've seen him hallucinate and claim there were bears in the backyard and spiders on the walls, and one time he kept trying to convince me and my mom and my sister that his dead mom was in the backyard. I've visited him in rehab several times, the last of which I found out that he drinks to come down from his high. He was arrested once because he got set up by the cops (in one of his stints of him getting his act together) for selling weed to a guy and was later convicted and served a few months in prison. He's also been very abusive to my mom, I've never seen a black eye on her or anything, but he's called her a bitch and pushed her around alot. He's done the same to my sister. I've almost gotten into a fist fight with him a couple of times. Now he's doing the whole "I'm sorry please don't divorce me I want to be with my kids" spiel and I'm just tired of him.
The only problem with my mom is that she tells all her friends about this. Why would you go around telling your friends that you're married to a crack head? Course she needs someone to talk to and I shouldn't be so harsh on her.
As far as parents go, I'm pretty set. Well, my parents provide me with everything I need, really.
The only thing is, and I'm not complaining because I was really never taught otherwise, but my parents have never shown affection to me or my brotehrs. Unless it was during a time I can't remember, my parents have never told me they loved me and I never said it to them either.
The only issue I have right now with them is that my dad's been neglecting the rest of us by never being home.. ever. He only comes home to sleep, and he's never helpful anymore. I do remember when ... okay, now I'm just rambling and I don't know where I'm even going with this and I have to go to bed.
SO
My parents are good, but I'm prety sure within the next couple years my dad is going to continue downhill and they'll probably separate. Personally, I think both of my parents are complete dumbasses, but I guess I'd rather have dumbasses than no-asses?
Update about my parents...
My mom, she may be hardworking, experienced, and fun sometimes. But, she just doesn't understand me. She doesn't know half of what's in my mind a lot. I've been so depressed that I had to go to Rehab, and I've talked infron of my mom, and she still doesn't understasnd. She always repeats "Just do something else." whenever I'm depressed, but it's not that easy.
My Dad, I don't know.. He knows how to fix and clean, but he's just so dense when it comes to emotions and knowledge. He's lazy and selfish. I hate him most of the time.
So really, they're not really good to me.
My mom has these mental breakdowns and is a little emotionally unstable, but with what she went through (and is still going through) I can't really blame her. She goes overboard sometimes and she would beat me (doesn't happen anymore because I could kick her ass yay), now it gets taken out on the younger children and I feel bad for them.
My dad, while not being a completely terrible person, has done some terrible things and completely lacks a decent sense of empathy. He doesn't understand any of his kids or his wife.
Anyone can tell that the two were never meant to be together, and it seems like they're going to separate really soon. My mom actually did leave twice for a couple of days, but she's back. For the past two months, they've been constantly fighting and I really can't stand it anymore. My mom's even said the only reason she can even handle being around us is her weed, which really doesn't make me like her that much.
And they're trying to get me to pick who I'd rather be with if they were to separate, which is complete bullshit. I honestly don't have a relationship with either one of them at all, neither one makes an attempt to reach out to me (I don't try to connect with them either), and if that were to happen I would most likely choose to move in with my older brother. I'd have to get a job to help him pay rent, but I'd much rather be with someone I actually like than one of my parents that I don't plus dealing with their new boyfriends/girlfriends who I'm sure I'll hate.

How old are you?
You can't expect your parents, or anyone really, to understand every single thought and nuance that's flying through your hormone riddled brain. It's called being a teenager.
Your dad may not be capable of really expressing his emotions. Why the hell would you hate him for that?
Is everyone depressed these days? What for?
My dad is really cool, basically.
I love my mom, but I also hate her. I could really go on and on about this. To sum it up, she cares too much about the small things in life, never admits when she's wrong about something, wants me to be what I'm not, is a bit racist, and also a bigot.
Also, lots of druggy parents here. I didn't expect that. Just about everyone tries drugs, I'm sure both of my parents have tried them but they overall don't do drugs at all.

Because, most parents always get to know what's up our heads, even especially when we talk to them, but my parents don't get it. Also, he's so lazy that lets my mom work and he sits on his ass all day long. Also, it's so simple to understand, everyone in the family is getting damaged by it, and they can take it, but I have a very negative mind. My mom, she is just so hard to get through, I've been saying it infront of her, even with my counsler helping her, but she still doesn't get it...
I like how you hate us for hating our parents, (I just hate my dad.) but you don't even know what the fuck is going on in our worlds. So, don't assume that shit.
I'm 15.
Despite all the arguments I have had with both of my parents; they treat me very well. My mom is typical. Tries to give me everything I want and the same goes for my dad. But I am not rich. I pay for most of my stuff and take it as a responsibility. They are awesome parents. i have no real boundaries. They have full trust in me and I don't get out much so they don't care much for my boundaries. They do try to set a curfew for me but that doesn't work out. Yes they have some flaws, but what couple doesn't?
Oh, I didn't know it was typical for parents to give you whatever you want. O_0

I love my parents.
But My mother could spend a lot more time with me and my siblings, she never leaves her fucking room, except when one of her girlfriends call, then she's out in a minute.
My father talks to me a lot, but really doesn't understand me as a person the way my mother does.
I thought of something I need to add.
My parents have pretty much JUSt enought money to get by with trying to live this lifestyle in a wealthy town of CT. Our house was neatrly free (inherited), so we pretty much live in a place we don't belong in economically. My mom lost her job and my dad just lost one of his two this past week, so now a family f 6 is living in a rich town on one full-time Fed-Ex job. It's an interesting situation.
And they do take my money and promise to pay me back. They never do. Sometimes I get pissed off, but I know they're using it for things that benefit the entire family, so I don't usually get mad. Plus if they ever have any extra change, they offer to help me if I',m looking to buy something.
Well, my mom kicked me out of the house last year. My dad left when I was like 8, and I haven't seen him in years. I'm pretty sure my mom is doing some drugs also but yeah. Its nice that I don't live with her anymore though.
But yeah I'm guessing thats bad parenting. But I'm kinda ok with it since I'm doing a lot better in school and such since I got kicked out.
I love my parents regardless of what they have done and I don't think it would be fair of me (as their child and a 16 year old girl) to say that they're good OR bad.
My mother has done some things I really don't approve of and I don't believe she ever grew up but I love her just the same and I wouldn't trade her for any other kind of parent.
I love my dad to pieces, as girls should. He is the most honorable man I have ever met and I have learnt so much from him. He is a great father and a great man.
If you feel that much towards her (in a negative way) I don't think you should feel guilty. I'm sorry.
I used to feel like that way towards my mom, I really could not even be around her because of the way she is and the way she treats people (she's terribly manipulative, but I can't say that I'm not) but I just had to look at her life, everything that she has gone through (which is so much more than I have, in some ways) and learn to accept her for she is and at least try to understand WHY she is the way that she is.

I'm really undecided with mine. Parents have been divorced like 10 years.
My mom is normally mean to me so I avoid her at all costs.
I rarely see my dad, but when I do he is nice.
Step dad is normally nice, but tends to side with my mom no matter what.
I will update this statement:
I love my mom and step dad. I am finally getting along with them very well for more than just a few weeks. We've been great since October or so. They are finally showing they love and support me.
As for my dad, I love him too though I'm mad I don't see him too much.
My mother...
I gotta stab her? baddood;
I think 90% of you are spoiled brats.
Why is that?
Well today my mom told me I could stay home from school tomorrow, because we're on this weird schedule testing where we're in the same class all day, and my teacher was like 'We're just watching a movie, we're not doing anything.' So I was like sweet, I'll get to sleep in a little late, do some other work, have a good day, and well rested and ready for work in the evening.
Then my dad is like 'AW HELL NAW, YOU GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL, JSUT CUZ I DONT WANT TO GO TO WORK SOEMTIMES DOESNT MEAN I GET TO STAY HOME.' and I told him it was a waste of my time, no one was going to be there (1. because we aren't doing shit and 2. because its prom friday so everyone is leaving to get pretty), and that I would just fucking sleep the entire time anyway so I might as well do it in my bed. Then he was like 'ITS THE LAW TO GO TO SCHOOL, N DIDN U HAV A C I NDAT CLASS LASS QUAWTA' and then I was like 'Yeah, but I have a 98 currently. Also it was the law to kill jews in Nazi Germany but I dont run around doing that.' Then he tells me about here and now and how we live in America and how blah blah blah I walked away after this point because I was going punch him in the face.
So now I can't wait to go to school to sleep on a hard table all day and get absofuckinglutley nothnig done, while I could have stayed home and at least been somewhat productive anyway. Other than that my parents aren't bad, they just have their moments such as this. And coem to think of it, I'm not even going to my class tomorrow, I'm just skipping it and attending my friend's class.

My Dad was good to us. I know he felt bad because we didn't have a lot of extras. But I was happy. My Mum is like a friend. Not much she doesn't know about.
