And your parents were probably not like their parents. Young people dont realize that we all try to do a little bit better than our parents. Its not easy. Many times, they were all we had to go by.

I felt that way until I grew up and realized what amazing people my parents were, I long to be half the people they were!

I look at my parents and grandparents and admire them. They are human beings who lived through things most people today could not even imagine. Although they aren’t perfect (none of us are) I feel most truly did the best they could. If I’m half the woman my mom and grandmothers are I would be thankful.

I would give a lot to be like my parents. They were both kind, honest, hard working and loving people who raised us to stand up for ourselves

i know my parents didn't mean what they have become today, I understand them because they both lost their parents when they were at the age of 5. I am just thankful that they're my parents and that i have a mother and a father growing up. I'm 24 now.

I would never want my kids to want to be like me. I want them to be better than me and every generation should strive for that.

Yea but then I remembered what a challenging teen I was and I think God bless them. They made it through my teen years. I forgave them for the mistakes they made and remembered all the amazing times I had growing up.

It's okay. We live in different generations. Also, sometimes we don't understand our parents health and mental health.

I used to think that too when I was young and dumb.. the older I get, the more flattered I am when I recognize traits my parents had.

You remember the worst of your upbringing! You parents remember the best! It is all perspective. When I realized my mom did the best she could and she loved me i forgave her. I too did my best! I hope my children will forgive me.

There’s so much hatred towards parents these days very sad. I miss my parents every day.

I got attached to a philosophical idea that, especially first borns, are born to a set of parents and that child's purpose in this incarnation to take the best of each parent but also to correct and balance what's deficient in the parents, in becoming their best selves. Before moving on to become parents.

Ya and they pass and it’s a whole other feeling and chapter or “pill to swallow” especially knowing they had better relationships with their parents than I with them. Ahh I see now I should make a channel thingy 😂

After cleaning up 3 parents homes in 3 years we decided we would not put that burden on our children & grandchildren. We sold it all but the most precious to us and packed it away with each child and grandchild’s name on the boxes. We lived in a 30ft 5th wheel for 3 years before buying a home again. We still live with modest belongings and who gets what is separated with their names on it.
