Change one thing about your parent's parenting. Inflate your Upload Space

An open question to folks of all ages. If there was one thing about the way your parents treated you that you would change, what would it be? And why?

I'm serious! I don't know if they know! It's severely annoying.
I wish they'd just come straight out and tell me instead of making me guess like this.

If only you realized what kind of a person you turned out to be, you might reconsider your statement . . . .

Yea, I expect most people to have more than one thing they'd want to change. Lord knows I could pick most of the options. But just pick the one that bothered you the most.

Sometimes a person doesn't realize who they are -- especially if they have serious problems (denial or blinded about something about one's self).

And since you caused me to explain my joke, it's ruined now.


In seriousness, Slowwy a swell guy -- even if I give him **** sometimes.

Although, I did manage to receive my A&P Liscense w/ a 3.6 avg. w/ frequent daydreaming while I was in school.

More involved/over 25. I assume that this is the closest to "put the boot harder to my ass".

That it is. Though "better prepared for adult life" could apply as well.

I was a pretty rebellious type about schoolwork and chores and stuff. I think they should have pushed harder here. Also gotten me more into sports and Scouting and stuff. But they did do a decent job at getting me into top notch schools. Even moving accross town. and they schooled me into acing the SATs.

My mother should have prepared me better for adult life. Whenever things started getting good (every two years (I take a long time to make friends)) we moved. This caused me to lose hope and soured my ambition. I now have good ideas that never get finished, or even started.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

My parents are extremely good, and I voted perfect (under 25). However, one thing my mom could have done better was to scare me less of everyday's dangers.
I have now become afraid of many small things (cars in particular) because of the extreme caution advised by my mother in my youth.
Otherwise, perfect !
