Parental relationships and love
- Thread starter Gaze
- Start date
Let me put it this way. They loved me. It didn't work.
Ok. Now I feel guilty. I can't even be cranky in peace.
My father's idea of love was bringing home the bacon and me obeying him.
My mother's idea of love was agreeing with my father.
I pretty much disagreed with all of it but I recognize the decisions were theirs to make and I'd probably get it right and get it wrong sometimes like they did. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten it wrong most times which is one of the reasons I'm not interested in being a parent. The other reason is I have absolutely no interest in children. They are about as exciting to me as watching paint dry.

Hmm..well.
My relationship with my dad made me realise that I need to be stubborn in a lot of areas. There's a lot of bad in the world that I shouldn't get involved with, and that's what I've always followed. He did this too, and it rubbed off on me, luckily ^_^ So I stay away from the wrong sort of "friends". Relationship wise, he taught me to be loving and sweet
My relationship with my mum has always reminded me that I need to be caring and kind to everyone I love. This is also what I've always done too. Mum has also taught me to be strong and brave through every bad thing that's happened ^_^
With both of them.... they used to argue a fair bit. Which put me off arguments for life... I hate arguments... *twitch*
My parents loved was balanced. Very balanced in fact
. Although I wish my dad would've stuck up for himself in one area; My mum always used to talk about how she found several actors "attractive" and I could always see the jealousy in dad's eyes.... I wish he spoke out when she said that, but he never did xD bless him....
The only thing I can think of, off the top of my head, that I disagreed with in the name of their love was the fact they argued over the most pety things. I hate arguments in general, but sometimes the things they argued about were just ridiculous >:
I always think arguments are pointless. A discussion is all that's needed about things.... they never attempted to calm down once they got started... blargh xP
