What Grade Would You Give Your Parents

[Jodi1980]

for the way they raised you?

 

[binny]

I would give my parents an A+

They were not perfect but they did the very best the could, with what they had, with the best intentions, and most of all with all the love they had.


Given what they both came from it is utterly amazing they could offer us that. I am eternally grateful for what they did for us. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for them.

 

[preshi]

Based on the way we turned out I give my Mom an A- for her efforts even under pressure... and I give my Dad a D+ he was hardly ever and still isn't a father figure.... My mom was Mom and Dad.

I give my parents an A++. They're wonderful parents and I love them so much.

 

[CamColt]

Another product of A+ parents here! I was, and still am, very lucky.

 

[snoopy]

My parents raised 9 children, and I'm quite sure all 9 of us would give them an A+.

While they died very young, we all know how blessed we were to have had them for parents. They were truly amazing people.

 

[ASFCurly]

I would give both my parents a B, my Mom is a total pushover, I could get away with anything that I wanted and she didn't even realize that I was doing anything (not that this happened a lot, I was a good girl) and my Dad really trys but just doesn't get it most of the time. We all turned out well though.

Both of my parents came from dysfunctional families. It doesn't matter how they raised me or how I turned out. What matters is that they did the best they could - just as I'm doing with my kids.

They weren't perfect and neither am I. Sure, there are things I wish they had done differently and I'm sure my kids would say the same about me. But they did the best they could with what they had and what they were and that's all you can ask for.

Both my parents rate an A+. They raised three great kids and stressed for us the importance of family. They were always there for us and rarely went on a vacation, just the two of them, until we were all young adults. They instilled in us good, solid values, faith and a work ethic.

 

[grinningghost]

I'll give them an A, because in the end, I turned out pretty good. But during the 70's and early 80's, my parents were still alot like Kitty and Red Forman (for those of you who don't watch That 70's Show, you might not get this). Dad was a hard guy and mom was a pushover - they let ALOT slide back then. But most of the parents around here either didn't see things, or chose to ignore them, if you know what I mean.

After all that, my parents are great people and have come a long way since then. They would NEVER let my DD get away with the stuff they let ME get away with. And she would never believe that they DID let me do half the stuff I did.

I would definetly give my Mom an A+ but my Dad only a C-.......he was way too busy being a Professor rather than a Father. Even now the grandchildren barely know their grandfather.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I give my mom a C and my father a F+. Mom did both parental jobs raising my sister and I. My dad just chose to ignore us when he was home, which was rare. I give there money an A+ because thats really how they raised us... Giving money instead of love. Don't get me wrong, I love them both and get along fairly well with mom but don't think I'll have any kind of relationship with my father, partly because I just don't want it.

 

[caitycaity]

i give mine an a+. though when i was a teenager, i'm not sure i would have said that. LOL

 

[Dream]

Another A+ here! I had medical problems as a kid which could have caused them to be very overprotective and "limiting". Never once did they make me feel there was anything I couldn't do if I wanted it....and I am sure some of my choices gave them many grey hairs from worry!!!! They were awesome people and I feel incredably fortunate. Perfect? Nah....are any of us? But more wonderful, loving, forward thinking parents a girl could not have had!

 

[kaabost]

I was lucky enough to be raised by A+ parents.

 

[browneyes]

My dad, an F. My mom, an A.

 

[SDAngel101]

my mommy= A+ my daddy= A+

There ya go right out of the mouth of a teenager i love my parents. They helped raise me and my 4 other siblings up to ethier great teenagers (so far) or great kids (my little sister is only 10). They are just great, my mom is really social and all my friends love her, and my daddy is who helpes me out all the time with my hmwk. Both of them have helped me get to where i am, even if sometimes i don't like what they make me do, but they probably know what is best because they have lived through being a teenager allready.

 

[bumcat]

F- to both.

 

[MrsPiglet]

bumcat, was we raised by the same parents?

I give them both f-. The only good thing I can say about dad was he did provide money for the family (food clothes that type of thing) .

The both drank quite a bit when i was under 10 years old and fight like cats and dogs. (Dad used to beat the crap out of mom, but in all honestly she egged it on with her bi*ching, did not know when to shut her mouth) For instance, Christmas would start off great with plenty of gifts, but then the fights would begin. Mom was and still is a constant nagger. They divorced when I was 16, mom went on welfare and dad did not pay child support for me or my little brother (only two under age total of 5 of us)

Now as an adult, I have been married 16 years and have a 10 year old DD (which is an angel) Dad has not seen her since she was 4 years old. He has missed so much but by his choice, never tried to keep her away from him. Mom on the other hand, collects her disablity check and drinks it away with the younger brother than want money for food.

To be honest they raised five lazy kids. Three doesn't work and one just started to work a couple months ago at age 39.

Luckloy at 16 I moved out and started my own live, trying to be the best mom possible (but afraid I have spoiled too much)
