    I've only experienced growing up with one parent, and luckily it's my mother, so i've got an advantage with talking to her about female stuff. I'm not sure who my dad is (well, i know his name), but sometimes i wonder what it would have been like to grow up with him instead. My mother, i love her, yes, i respect her sometimes more than i want to....but it comes natural...respect others, especially your parents. She is far too controlling, and i'm not just being some whiney child when i say that lol. And sometimes she gets into things she shouldn't, but the thing that agetates me the most is the control issue she's got with me. I dont think i'll get into that though, no one should have to go through, or even hear about how controlling she is! No exxaggurations. Anywho, Loving your parents, as well as respecting them, should be a given...they've given birth to you/raised you...they've put themselves second, and dealt without, to provide for you. I wish my boyfriend's ex, the mother of his child, would read this...... I want to get that little girl out of there SO bad....Her mom sometimes doesn't even feed her because she doesn't feel like it. It's bad...it's realllly bad, but, hopefully by january 2006..it seems far away when put that way, but it's actually not....well, by then, we'll be in court to try to get full custody of his daughter.....and we're not giving up.

    We discussed the song "Affirmation" by Savage Garden in English once ... we had to move to different places in the room, depending on whether we agreed with the line the teacher read out, disagreed or had no opinion on it.
    There's this line "I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do" - and the were some people who disagreed! I couldn't believe it. I mean, sure there are bad parents, but I can't imagine parents being bad on purpose ...
    I live with my mother and sister but see my father every week ... I get on fine with my parents, of course we sometimes argue but never never badly enough to give me a reason to say I hated my parents. It's a different thing with my sister, but that's another story...

    My parents are cool. My dad grew up with nothing, his whole family was poor. Same with my mom. Now they make a lot more money than the average household in our area, and they give me anything I want. Although I dont ask for a lot because I dont want to abuse that privalege, and I dont want to be spoiled. I respect my parents more than anyone else. It pisses me off when my sister acts like a bitch to my parents though, because they've done so much for them. They are really open-minded about things, they support my plans for after highschool, they dont ground me for getting a C or a B (like some parents do), etc.

    I certainly wont sit here and say its wrong to dislike your parents. Just because they had you, doesn't mean they are that great of a person. Accidents happen and sometimes you can't help a baby being born.

    I do think its sad how many people are divorced nowadays. Most all of my friend's parents are divorced. Luckily my parents are still together, but they hardly ever show affection for eachother.

    Yeah, I love my parents. But I didn't used to because they wouldn't trust me or give me any credit. Now they LISTEN.

    i love both my parents. however, my mum tends to be alot more laid back and cool about shit than my dad. my mum knows i smoke, and has even given me money to buy it on occasion! my dad, however, is pretty hyporcritical in that way. he smokes (i know he does) but if he ever found out i did it, he'd be all over me about it.

    they're both great parents, but i just have a much stronger connection with my mum. which is great, but i've always also wanted to have that father and son bond, too. sadly, my dad and i just don't get along. when me and my siblings were younger, he didn't want a lot to do with us. and even when we started seeing him more, he payed little attention to us. i guess cuz of that, we just don't get along well. :(

    i still love him, though! he's still my dad! :)
