It's tricky being a good kid and many say you do have to "raise" your parents

Sometimes conflicts arise and bad words are thrown. Do you have any regrets when it comes to your relationship with your parents. Do you consider there were times you didn't quite react the best way?

I regret sometimes i didn't tell them more often that i actually like them, i do not resent them! I am a more shy person and i don't feel comfortable telling people how i feel...

As i grew up we had some fights, big ones, so i told them a lot of bad things. I regret that very much now, but i can't turn back time, so i just try to be a good kid and please them however i can.

It's hard being a kid too. Sometimes it's confusing to see other parents acting so different with their kids than your parents do, but now i realize that those kids turned out to be some spoiled no-ones and that i am more educated than them.

I regret not seeing this sooner.

Good question. I regret that I can`t be more open to them, to share more of my secrets because they are so close minded and have a very different menthality. I would regret this even more when I`ll go away from them and start a family for my own.

i couldn't agree with you more....im much the same way

I regret not spending more time with them... We don't hang out together as much as I'd love to, we have very different schedules so when I'm home they're not, or when they're home I'm sleeping or something.. We end up talking mostly on the phone...

I regret believing all the lies my father fed me growing up. I regret taking his side constantly and going against my mother. I regret being stupid and naive during my early years. I regret it all.

I reqret treatinq my dad bad since he passed but other then that i have no other regrets towards my mom becausee me and her had a love/hate relationship that qrew stronqerr and now we are closerr i quess .

I'm never home anymore. I feel really bad about it, but I dont know if I should. Whenever I am home, its just a bad vibe and no one talks anyway. I dunno if I should feel bad, but I do. My mom sits at home alone cause my step dad works and I feel awful that she's alone, but I'm just not happy when I'm there.

I regret a lot. Ive never listened to my parents, and before I moved out I was too busy being a rebellious teenager to have any time for them, and i resented them so much when i moved out that i stopped talking to them, or visiting them, and now i rarely see them and I feel like i don't even really know who they are.

i'm not comfortable telling my parents about myself, how i feel or opening up to them at all
culture has something to do with it, we aren't very emotional people on the outside and we don't hug or do small gestures but when my mum tries now, i dont shake her off
My parents migrated to England, but they obviously are much more fluent with their mother language, and while i can deal with my parent's language i can only express myself in english. So we cant relate to each other very well so everything personal seems to get lost in translation

I love them very much though and i know they want the best from me and im never left needing anything. However, i regret that i am not close to them
