If you could go back in time and change biology, be born as the same child but to a different set of parents. . . knowing everythng that you now know about your parents. . . would you still choose your original biological parents or would you choose a different set of parents? If you would choose new parents, how would you want them to be different? How would your life be different now?
My parents are not perfect.. Even Horrible instance!.. They messed up a lot! But I won't change them!..
Reason = "They didn't Give up, and still till this day, they are Trying."
"There is no such thing as perfect parents, but as if you have parents who are trying, then you are blessed, and shouldn't ask for a change!"
There are people who's parents gave them up, abandoned them, tortured them. My parents were horrible mess, my mom broke me, my dad didn't had much stuff, but he tried his BEST! And that's all one can ask for!.. He failed on many instances, but I saw his efforts, and those efforts are more valuable to me then a fancy meal or expensive toys!.. I couldn't ask for a more betted dad!..
I saw the pain in his eyes and he was a very kind man, started giving him hugs once in a while when i turned +12 as I understood that "Hugs" would ensure he does not break, and till this Day!..
If he is at home, minimum a Side hug and a few minutes of conversation, with a compliment, my respect for him, make him feel like family really need him.. IS ESSENTIAL DOSAGE in my routine. Even at age of 26!..

I’d have to choose my parents because i don’t already know of a couple who i could be certain would do “better”. Not knowing that for certain in advance makes the choice to switch kind of a craps shoot. My childhood was far from perfect, but it could just as easily have been worse as it could have been better.
All things considered, i turned out okay. I’ll take the devils i know. Thank you very much.
My parents are not perfect. But they did an exceptional job for the circumstances they were in. The hard life they had to endure, brought out the best of us.
I wouldn’t want other parents. They did their best. We all turned out amazing.
my father was in nursing home for 6 months. He didn’t want to die. We all took turn caring and visited. I told him the hard work he put in paid off and he live a life that many couldn’t have the end result he produced.
I fed him and told him us 4 siblings are his proud offsprings and have produced 8 more grand kids for him. His couldn’t speak but he teared up. He passed at the age of 80 last month. We all celebrated his life and not death. We offered a beautiful funeral with friends, families and relatives came to pay respect for him.
do I wish to born into a rich family. No. I am happy where I am with my 4 loving siblings and our mom.
I learned a lot of hard lessons by living with my parents. I cut them out of my life a year ago. I don't want them in my life anymore, however I am grateful for the lessons I learned during that time. It strengthened me and taught me a lot.

This was a VERY difficult question to answer.
I selected that I was over 30 (I am) and I'd keep the same parents.
It's a complex answer and I picked it because I just as easily could have received a shitty set of parents as better.
I'm conflicted because I'm not thrilled with my mom and dad. Dad usually wasn't around due to travelling for business and my mom was a bitch most of the time. I pretty much raised myself from the time I was 10 and then went to boarding school when I was 13. When my parents got divorced I was a pawn and used as a triple agent. It sucked. BUT... I knew kids for whom it was far worse. So I can't sit here and say I'd take that chance.
I was adopted when I was a very young baby. I didn't know much about my biological parents for quite a while after that but when I did I didn't think it was a particularly good situation and I would not choose to be born to them. Whether or not I would choose to be Born Into My adoptive parents or at least adopted adopted parents is a different question the best I can do with this question is to tell you that I would certainly choose for My adoptive father to be my father in that new situation but I think I probably would not choose to have My adoptive mother as my mother in that situation. My adoptive mother and I didn't get along and her behavior toward me was really inappropriate for much of the time.
While I inherited bad genetics from one standpoint- weak arches, low keratin levels, thinning hair, etc from each side, I also inherited their creativity, intuition, intelligence, music/cooking/artistic abilities, so I guess I won't sweat the arch supports.
My mom is wonderful but I would like to choose a different father for sure. Also choosing a different set of parents would give me a chance to not have autism.
I would most like a life where I find the love of my life before I even reach my twenties and I find a way to fight corruption.
I was adopted, so I kinda did get a different set of parents.
I don't think I'd change anything though. I'd just try to be more grateful. I wasn't very grateful as a kid and my mom had to work hard for my affection.I know my life would be totally different if I had a different pair of parents... I'm sure better, maybe I would have been a much happier child etc but then again I would be me now... so I wouldn't choose new parents...
I don't think I would change parents, there's a lot of good in the bad and vice versa. If I changed parents, I'd be changing a lot. Wouldn't be the same person.
Fuck yeah! And I wouldn't have to feel guilty about it either since they would have never been my parents!
I would still choose the parents I have now I really couldn’t ask for better parents if I’m being honest.
I'm over 30 and would choose different parents, even though I love my parents
Be aware of what you wish. I am in peace with my past. It could have been far worst. I can only control my thoughts and actions, I can't control everything away from my "self".
I wouldn’t change a thing, but it would’ve been nice to have been born to very rich parents since I grew up poor but other than that I had a really good mom that’s for sure
Dangerous thing to rewrite history. You never know what you're going to get nor what the implications would be.
yes. I'd like to be born in a rich family in the USA.
Absolutely not. I loved my Parents and my Grandparents too and dreaded losing them.
Hell yes I change parents, absolutely, without a second thought.
I'd still want my parents. They did a good job raising me. They were strict but loving
I’d go for my original parents. I can’t imagine a life without them.
Im 23 and i’d like to choose a different mom. Same dad
I still love my parents for they are, minus the defections but hey that’s part of life
