Are You Ashamed Of Your Parents?

I'm just the opposite,I am so proud of my parents, they are amazing, cool, and still a cute couple.

love your family, its all you have

OMG! NO WAY! i have the bestest parents in the world! :)

give up both arms to see them again

well thats a personal question, why do you even ask?

Just a bit disappointed at times.

I've never been ashamed of my parents. My father was a good man, and my mother is the strongest woman I've ever known in my life.

Yeah.. Sometimes. Especially my mom.. She's sorta an alcohol, so after dinner she sometimes starts swearing a lot.. And it is embrassing to see her acting like that, and I really don't want any little kids to hear.. >_<

They do constantly mock me, and try to tell my friends 'embarrassing' stories...

Three words.........HELL NO!!! lol

Well, in a way, I suppose I'm ashamed of my dad. I never knew him; he left my mom and me as soon as I was born. He was a big con artist. So I can't say I'm really glad that he did those things. However, I'm still thankful that he was my father. I got part of his intelligence (or at least I'm hoping and thinking that I did), though I'm using it for good, and I've learned a lot about myself as a person by knowing what I don't want to be like when I become a parent myself.

Now, as far as my mother goes, no, I'm not ashamed of her at all. She worked very hard to give me the best life that she possibly could, and she's a wonderful, smart woman. I'm proud to have her as my mother. She's always supported me in everything I've done.

Yes, I am. Neither one of them graduated high school or attended college, they both have jobs, not careers, neither one of them own anything worthwhile, and they did a horrible job at raising my sisters, brother and I. They refuse to realize that the poor choices they continuously make affect their children, and not just them. I plan on taking my experiences with them, and applying it towards what NOT to do when I have children of my own.

well they must have done something right or you would'nt be here. Someone had to feed you and keep a roof over your head. Alot of kids don't have it that good. I think I would be proud of my parants. I hope you do have all the thing you want in life, but when you have kids you will see it is not as easy as you think. There is nothing more valuable than your family.

Hmmm...I've lived in 16 houses during my 19 years of life. Do you know how many were my parents'? Three. And the state paid for my food because my mother got welfare, and I got free lunch at school. I never said that being a parent was easy; I know it's quite the opposite, but when your parents spend almost your whole life in jail or on drugs, you don't have much to be grateful for except the fact that you turned out better than what you should have. Please don't try to scold someone when you don't know the facts, Rall.

I don't know you, but I could not be more proud.....You hold your head high, you walk with purpose, and you do something with your life. I know that you will. There are people who have had it easy and gave up.....you appear to have had it so hard and keep going......I know that God has already blessed you in many ways, which it may not seem, but to be so mature at such a young age. I wish you all the best in your endevors and please show all those out there that are doubters that you will be a success....I know you can and I believe that you will.

Thank you very much! I know that I have benn blessed in many ways and I continue to be grateful everyday by trying my hardest to be successful and not giving up on my dreams. Thanks for being so positive!

Good luck and God Bless You. I was not scolding you and you did not indicate in your post that you had that kind of childhood, so I am sorry. It sounds like you have a plan for your life and I wish you all the best.

Thank you, and I am sorry for being a bit rude!

You are not rude

I got a bit mouthy to you in my reply to your post, and I apologize for that. My family is a topic that gets me really bothered, and I get angry about it a lot, but you're right; family is a very important thing.

Well if you ever need family , You are welcom in mine.

Thank you very much!

not my mother at all. My father, on the other hand, should have never had children. (he had 5) he is emotionally unavailable and a sex addict.

I am VERY proud of my parents! They were truly fine people.

..and I hope they've never been ashamed of me. O_O

Not at all. My dad owns a successful business that's doing better than ever, and my mom is a social worker. They've taught me how to be honest and hardworking.

I wish I wasn't... but when you find out something horrible.. ashamed, yes.

I used to be very embarrassed and ashamed of my Dad.

He was/is loud and obnoxious to all my friends. They all laughed but i never did. Today, I accept and......actually enjoy his outspoken personality.

MY mother is wonderful, my father a loser......I have nothing to do with him ever if possible...
Ashamed? No, I would have to care about him to be ashamed, I am indifferent to him

My parents were cool.

No, only my dad since he left my mum.

well embarrassed around my mom nd grandmaw my dad is a bitch nd decided to do something bad nd go to jail! so ashamed nd embarrassed!

sort of..... only when i go shopping with my mom for some reason....

Sometimes

not ashamed...embarrassed to be around them? hell yes!

My mother I adore and I am extremely proud of....

My parents made due with very little. They weren't overly smart, educated or lucky, but they were diligent and never stopped trying.

No, I had the most amazing parents!

They were married for nearly 62 years before Dad died last month. I have been married 4 times: widowed, divorced, widowed, and divorced.

Interesting Tribute to Parents. :)
