I honestly wouldn’t change anything about the way I was raised
You're lucky! 👏👏
Wish I was fortunate enough to say that.
Maybe you're kids will be.
Your**
I mean I wasn’t as fortunate to have both parents but having my mum and grandparents raise me is all I needed
Well it seems to be tough.. and I'm glad that you had a good childhood still. Your mum and grand parents must've done their job well!😊
Thank you ☺️
Your very welcome ❣
Nothing , like I've said before my problem is being born male. Being female would have made it perfect...
What's your problem? How is being born as a male problem to you?
I would have preferred to have been female...
Well people get operations for that. I think if you have enough money then you can go for one.
Been there, taking the hormones and waiting for the op.
Wish I had gone through with it op, but it would not have been enough, I want the real thing not just a facsimile...
I'm sorry for you man! *hugged you*
Thanks, but it's just part of my life. Still get plenty of female friends so it's not all bad...
My mom and grandma are overly protective and don't demand that you should act more mature to be a man. That hurt me as a man. I know they did it in good faith, but that wasn't good for me.
Yeah sometimes our parents don't really want us to grow up. But, when we do their parental ego comes in the way. Parents and grandma need to understand that we can't still be a kid.
My uncle never came around, and I had more tolerant parents.
How does your uncle had to do anything with raising you into an adult?
He was always around and was a creepy bastard. Like, in a way he shouldn’t have been.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. That's why you get an impulse to never mess with you because of lack of sense of security. That must have been so hard.
Security you went through **
Thankfully he was never that drastic. That came later with my ex. But lord knows he would if he could.
Thanks love.
Yeah thank God!!! You're safe. Your very welcome ❣
❤️❤️
I think i am raised in the best possible way so i would leave it be
You're a lucky girl! I envy you 😊
I sure am😊😊😊
I wish I wouldn't have been so overprotected and have a bit more freedom.
I hope you're having freedom now and relishing it every moment of your day. It can be so restrictive. Freedom is our birth right.
Thank you!! You're absolutely right.
Your very welcome lovely stranger
I would give myself a loving and supportive family. I would make sure that I was being loved, respected, protected, encouraged and supported.
That would have made an huge difference in my life.
I am sorry for what you went through and I hope you find so much love that you forget what has happened to you! I wish you abundance of love and happiness in your life ❣
Awww thank you so much! You're very sweet. :) ❤
Wish you all the best! :)
Your very welcome and thank you!
No problem! :)
I'd like to have a family who's motivating and didn't tell me to aim for less than my goals.
That's terrible.. You do you girl! Live the life as you want. Don't let anyone come between you and your goals! 🤘
Thank you! I'm nearly where I want to be, one step at a time :)
I'm proud of you anonymous girl. You can do it 👏👏
Thank you! :)
Your very welcome 💓
How I entered school/puberty. I've let my mother have too much power over my life in the past.
I hope parents learn that it's not good to be controlling. All a child needs support, safety and freedom with boundaries. If a child wouldn't make a mistake how would he learn and grow. I'm sorry that you had to go through this way. I hope you learn how to be a good parent after having experienced what you experienced. In case if you decide to have a kid someday. 😊
Not to be an introvert and interact more with people.
Really? I thought Indian parents always wanted to have an outgoing kid who is charming to everyone. Well, they shouldn't have done. Human connections is what human crave for.
It was just the opposite for me.
My parents wanted me to be a disciplined child without any bad habits but in the process of doing so they stopped me from going out with friends, watching English movies, etc.
Ofc I did all of them later but I wish I'd have done them a bit sooner during my early childhood.
Yeah it's allright now you're grown adult. So you can make choices.
I'd not worry about the humans and become something way different
What will you be? 🤣
Why does human make you worry?
They so squishy and crunchy so i have too follow rules you see, i can't build extreme things for health and safety or you can't use people for that humans don't realise, i don't even know what id be but it be something new for sure 😂
You scare me right now 🤣😅
Oh shh it's ok want some tea
Yeah sure thank you for asking that 🤣💖
Yea does help it along
No being lied to and then expected to tell the truth.
Yeah sometimes parents don't realise that they are setting up example for their child. You must've felt so deceived.
I am sorry to hear that.
I would like to have been encouraged to try new things, instead of wasting half my life learning to
Yeah, life would've been more easier.
I wish I wasn't so afraid of people in positions of authority.
I know they can be so evil!!! I hope you get a place where you feel secure and loved. Take care anonymous. 💓
Thank you
Your very welcome by the way what happened to you?
Let's just say that at least one of my parents preferred to be feared than loved.
Actually, I'd mostly gotten over the problem I have mentioned before once I moved out a more accurate look at the issue is not knowing how to go about standing up for myself.
The only fights I have ever been in outside of the home was first grade which I just stumbled into. At home it was against someone I know fighting back against would be a huge mistake. It was against said parent.
*hugged you* everything is going to be okay anonymous.
Thank you in fact things have been looking up. I got a job i enjoy and it pays pretty well for someone at my experience level.
Congratulations !!! I hope you keep smiling like this forever.
the amount of physical violence i went through. the beatings with belts and other weapons.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. No human deserves that. I hope you're out somewhere safe. The impact that causes on somebody after physical violence stays with you. You don't trust anyone and feel so alone. My love goes out for you stranger. Take care. I know this big world is scary but there'll be someone who would make you feel secured and loved.💓
Into a more loving stable family.
I hope you get so loved that you forget the love you've been deprived from the past ! ❤
Thanks love you too 🙏🏽
A lot of things. Infect almost everything.
I hope you set a great example being a parent. If you're willing to have kids one day.. all the very best and I hope you be the love that you were deprived of.
Haha yeah. That's what I really envisage.
Cool then.
Yes..
A different mother. Mine was a nightmare.
I hope you're away from her and she realizes how awful she has been to you. Take care buddy 💞
She is dead.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not.
Being more sexually open and less shaming
That's a good point it would have helped a lot if parents were open about sexuality and sex in general.
I thought it happened in Asian countries 🤔
It definitely happens here in the US too. I wish it were different I think it would have made me a completely different person tbh
Well, at least now you know what kind of parent you want to be. If you're interested to have a kid some day.
Yeah that’s true it’s definitely informed that
Cool then have a nice day Andy 💓
Thank you! You too
Your very welcome
😊😊
Not a single thing
You're a very lucky girl. I envy you ❣🤣
