    I do! It's like everyone thinks it's "cool" to hate your parents or disobey them, and it pisses me off! \Granted, there are crappy parents out there who do abuse their children or mistreat them, but for the most part, I think more teenagers should respect their parents.
    Giving birth is NOT easy, and neither is raising someone for 18 years, so you can't expect to get along with them all the time, but I think there should be more repect/love for them, they made your life possible, and kept it going!

    I get mad at my parents every once in a while, but I love'em. I used to hang out with this kid danny, and he would give his mom shit all the time! He would be sitting in the back seat of the car and start kicking the seat while she was driving, and he's curse at her and call her fat. I could'nt belive that she took it too. My mom would of knocked my ass out cold if I talked to her like that. She was even buying him ciggarettes to bribe him into not smoking weed(he needed to pass a drug test for court and school) and he still smoked bud, and still treated her like shit. People like that piss me off.

    Timely subject. Cos of my over indulgence in amsterdam earlier this month i've been on my arse flat broke all month and dont get paid til 28th!!! (To be fair I have had some nice smoke this month fresh from the 'dam)

    Anyway, without me asking, she came into my office today and brought me some food aid (chicken, fruit etc) and £20 too, what an angel! It was totally unexpected and much appreciated

    Shes always been pretty cool like that, like I had no probs telling her I smoked weed when I was about 18, she asked all the usual questions but didn't panic and was able to put it all in perspective - just to make sure I occasionally remind her that whilst I may not have taken her on the smoothest 'motherhood' journey when I was a kid, at least I didn't end up robbing cars or taking smack or whatever!

    In which case I guess she didn't do too bad of a job on me really?!

    I love my mother and I didn't know my father before he died so I'm not sure about him. My mother was as wonderful as a mother could be when I was a child, which is the most important thing I guess but here in the past 3 years she became an OC/morphine junkie, killed herself, had to be revived, and ever since then shes been kinda iffy. I have a little brother about age 7 and I worry about the way things will be for him.

    When shes being good shes a beautiful person but when shes down shes down.

    I'll respect them when they respect me. They have threatened to throw me out of the house if they find me smoking marijuana again; although I doubt they'll throw me out, they won't be very happy and it will lead to a lot of trust issues like before.

    My mom is pretty cool and I like her, not as much as she thinks though. My dad is another story, which Id rather not get into. There are some good parents and some bad ones, looks like alotta you are lucky.

    I like my dad more than my mom; just today, I decided to go to a local pizza place barefoot and she said that I could just wait in the car because she found it socially-unacceptable. My dad got her to calm down about it a bit and I ate like nothing was different.

    Although they asked me what kind of statement I was trying to make before I entered; which is odd, because I wasn't trying to make a statement. I told them that I wasn't, then my dad asked me why I couldn't just go slip on my sandels, so I asked him why I couldn't just stay barefoot, and he decided to let me go in barefoot.

    And then my mom laughed at my ideas of discrimination. She asked me if I wore shoes when I turned in my applications today (which I did) and I told her yes and that if they didn't hire me because of the fact that I liked to be barefoo, that it was discrimination. Overall, tonight wasn't too fun because my mom needs to fucking grow up.

    My mom is the person who means the most to me in the world. I don't know what I would do without her.

    And I think you are way overreacting about your mom and going barefoot. So you have different views? So what?

    Ya, I have different views, but I respect my mom's opinions about stuff that isn't so petty when she doesn't even respect me for what I give her.

    Oh, and water dreamer, things were a lot worse 2 months ago.

    I think that was his point. I don't think he really was overreacting; they just had an argument because of how they see things so differently, so it illustrates where most of their problems come from.

    I do love my parents. I fight with my dad constantly, but I really have no right to complain. He may be a jerk, but there are so many things I should be thankful he's not. And there are good days.

    I think my main problem is I simply gravely dislike anyone telling me what to do. I realize this is juvenile, and immature, and pretty much ridiculous, but when I get into a situation I can't even think logically enough to realize it, much less control it. Ah well, I will grow in time I hope.

    Did I miss something? Since when is it cool to hate your parents?

    Unless you have a good argument, there's no reason to hate them.

    I utterly adore my parents, they're wonderful, loving, caring people, and they're always there for me. My father is a hard-working, strict, and friendly person who acts like a bratty kid, and my mother is a loving, caring, person.

    I'm basically a momma's boy, but not a Norman Bates type, and I really look up to my father. He's a great person to look up to. I'd literally die or waste away if my mom or dad die.
