How's Your Relationship With Your Parent?

[Manang Muyang]

My mom has passed on (she was 81) and my dad is 89. They have done their best in loving all of us 5 children. They aren't perfect, neither are we kids. But I won't exchange them for anyone else.

I pity those who have selfish parents like Paco. I hope there aren't a lot of them. I admire Alan for being a good surrogate parent for Max. The story highlights the character differences between Godfredo and Max. Is this a result of good parenting? I believe so.

my relationship with my parents is ok. I get along with both of them now. my dad and I are on speaking terms but are not close. we see each on holidays and birthdays. my mom and I are close but not like we used to be. but I think that is due to our different work schedules

In my situation it depends on the parent. My mom and I have an okay relationship. She's been the one who's been there for me all my life and while I appreciate her sometimes I feel she oversteps her boundaries and tries to be a part of too much. Granted it doesn't help that I'm staying with her to help out around the house but we have our good moments. As for my relationship with my other parent...there is none. In my mind when it comes to him I don't exist. I think to him I am the problem child that he can ignore because it's convenient. My dad does a lot for his step-son and his family and my brother but has nothing to do with me. It upsets my mom knowing that he ignores me but it's a truth that I've had to face and that my daughter, his only grandchild, has had to face as well.

I am saddened by this revelation. This is an evidence that not all parents are good and loving.

My relationship to my parent is cool. They make sure that they are my best friend. All my decisions, they wanted to know. They won't oppose but gives advises.

Sometimes, parents who are loving and caring have had a happy experience with their parents. There were also those who have had painful experience but they choose to break the chain by loving their kids.

very good, lovely as i am very close to my mom and dad

[Donnavila Marie01]

My mom raised me, so I get along really well with her. She's a very hardworking woman. She knows hot to sew and makes clothes for me. She's like another friend. However, even though I didn't grow with my dad, we get along as well. He's very talkative and smart.

You are fortunate that you still have both of your parents even if your father is not always with you. I admire parents who see to it that they still let their presence be felt by their children even if their matrimonial relationship is gone.

I had been best friends with my Mom; always frank and direct in our conversations. It was quite hard to understand my peers at school as they would always complain about their parents and I could say great things about my Mom. Now, when she is gone, I have only one person left so close to me as she was.

[Harmony Hills]

I have a very good relationship with my mom. We always talk from time to time and even though we're both busy with our own affairs, we still find time to talk with each other. She's my buddy

[Miche Sora]

I have a good relationship with my mom; we're quite close. My father, on the other hand...not so much. The chauvinism is tiring, at best.

[Mallory Whitaker]

My parents and I are extremely close. I've always been a daddy's girl. My mother and I had a rough spot during my teenage years, but once I grew up and realized everything she did was truly for the best even if I hated it at the time, we got a lot closer. Having a kid myself has also helped bring us together. They're my best friends. I talk to at least one of them every single day.

[Naval Aulakh]

My relationship with my parents is very strong. We love each other and support each other in every situation. I am so blessed to have amazing parents.

[pontiac21]

my mom and i will never have that strong mother daughter relationship that so many are blessed with. my dad and me growing up had a good relationship till my mom ruined it. It's gotten better over the years.

My relationship with my parents has not always been easy but overall, we have had some pretty good times too.

[TheSeelieCourtJester]

It's always been shaky. There are some instances where we do get along, but so far those are few and far in between. Our arguments would usually consist of them telling me to focus on my school and career instead of writing and reading. I tell them I already am, and that I'm tired of that being the only thing we talk about. And the discussion sort of ends there. They're good parents in their own way, when they aren't berating me or my brothers.
