Do you regret not being a better son/daughter?

[AleDeEurope]

Yes

No

[lonerider]

I think I always did more than what they asked of me. I studied devotedly.. was a religious kid.. very polite.. socially attuned. As I grew older, I felt that my parents never knew me on a personal level at all. No matter how better I was than other kids, my parents always took it as granted- that's how a kid should be. no big deal. Ohh so you're getting straight As? So you dont drink, dont smoke, dont get into messy relationships and dont harm yourself? So you greet every person in our area unlike other kids and people always say how well behaved our kid is? not happy. You can do better. I always felt under appreciated. They saw me just as an ideal son- not as an individual. I guess that's what I deserved for always saying 'yes' and always adjusting.. no questions asked. I went through a very bad heartbreak and I was going to end my life. My parents were angry that my marks were dropping but did not care enough to ask if there was any problem. I cried all night for half a week.. didn't eat at nights. They couldnt at all feel that something was wrong. I feel so disconnected from them that I chose to study 1000 kms away since 10th grade.

[lonerider]

thanks bud. Sorry I annoyed you with my crying :P

[AleDeEurope]

Don't worry. I felt just like you. My parents always seemed to pay more attention to my grades and other stuff, and not how I actually felt. I was a terrible student though, but they never considered that me getting bad grades was because something was wrong, they always thought it was because I was too lazy too study.
That's why I can kinda relate to you.

[lonerider]

Ohh. that's sad :(

I think children up until a certain age are mostly a reflection of their parents and environment. Having said that, I don't think I could have been a better son. My experiences and my parent's influences determined the person I am today.

As an adult I've done a lot to help out my family. The reason I waited until 27 to go back to college is because I was looking after my family.

[sweettckae]

Yes because my mom has done so much for my sister and I that she deserves to be pampered. I still haven't achieved anything in my life, haven't finished college and I should've five years ago, but because of my laziness I'm still in college...

My mom deserves a better daughter than me. 😭😔😔😔😔

[BelleGirl21]

I'm an awesome daughter. I almost never fought with my parents, very obedient, very respectful. I still see my parents at least once a week and always help them with stuff. No regrets here.

[BelleGirl21]

Thanks for mh love 💙

[ChaosKilledTheDinos]

There are moments, I wish I didn't criticize and put my mom down so much. I should have kept those to myself or looked at them with a more open mind. Otherwise, no.

[justbanANNAz]

No. My mess, mistakes and low moments are what shaped me. I dont know who id be without them.

All i can do is try.

[JRICHARDS1996]

In many ways I regret not being a worse son. As the oldest child, I think I made too much of an effort to be perfect which is unfair because it seems like my parents gave me less attention for precisely that reason.

[Chief16]

Yeah. Somedays, it makes you wonder what if you met your parents as a complete stranger and they remember nothing about your whatsoever. Would they happier? If they were happier, would you walk away? Questions I ask myself.

[9mfeo]

I'm struggling to think of ways I could be a better child. My parents really want grandbabies but I'm still in school and not dating anyone seriously enough that babies are anywhere on the horizon.

[LittleSally]

I think I'm pretty darn good as a daughter...
Of course there are moments where I could've been better - but all in all - pretty good. =)

[Humping_Tornadoes]

Not really. I could take back some things that I said, but I was all in all a decent son. Never did any serious shit.

As for being a grown up, I would change back my first career choice to my new one and be much, much better than I am as of now.

[EmpatheticLady]

No, I don't. I've always gotten along with my parents for the most part and tried my best to be a good daughter. I'm happy with my behavior.

[menina]

No, I don't. I know I'm not perfect, I made some mistakes, but overall I think I'm a good daughter.
I just wish my mother could understand that.

[stardust101]

I don't have any regrets. I'm not perfect so I don't even strive for perfection. However, that doesn't mean I don't still try and improve myself.

[CocoRachelle]

Not really. I always try my best, and hope my parents are proud of me and what I've accomplished so far.

[sparkly-crystal]

I'm always trying to be a better daughter to my parents. I want to live up to their expectations and make them proud. In the past, I have disappointed them many times and I still feel guilty about it.

[Lynx122]

I think I was a pretty good son :) Not perfect at all but ok :P

[ashisimo]

nah, i'm the best kid ever i just made my mom a bomb ass lunch <3

[overthinkingmind]

Not really, I mean... overall I think I'm a good daughter

[LifeEqualsLove]

Pretty much deserve The Daughter of the Year Award. 😂

[Yellow_]

yep, I am so afraid that one day I would look back and realize it's too late to be good.

[shiller]

For me more grandson, cause I didn't understand my grandparents and they're no longer here.

[dudeman]

fuck i already pay their rent and buy their food what the fuck else do you want from me.

[FilthyPervert]

No, I wish I had been nastier to my dad than I was.

[jwhit]

My dad has always told me he couldn't ask for a better son.

[Lindseytay]

I'm a pretty great daughter already but there's always room for improvement I guess 👍🏼

[ThatBritishLad]

I regret existing in the long term chief.

[AleDeEurope]

Damn... :(

[ThatBritishLad]

*Hello darkness, my old friend~"

[WhatTheHellAmy]

[matheus_mb]

Not at all, I am what I am.

[RicanEyes]

No I was the best I can be and still am. :-)

[ShaeNielson]

No, I've been pretty easy.

[Yumix]

[IceEverest]

Yes... I am a shame...

[Pooping]

[Fantasticgirl]
