Is it Hip to Love your Parents ?

Yeah , sometimes I fight with my parents , and when I'm a bit older , I think I will realize how good they were for me.

 

Never in my life have I not loved my parents. They are sweet, caring people who are really making an effort for me and my brothers, and that's never easy. They're also pretty damn cool.

 

Me and my mom were talking one day about how sometimes I do things that remind my mom of herself. She said that even if we don't like what our parents do for us now, and think they are strict or not fair, we will probably turn into our parents when we have kids. We'll probably treat our children the same, and act like our parents used to act towards us. That's just my mom's opinion, but I think theres a good possibility of that, since I already act like my mom in some ways lol.

 

I have allways had a tight relationship with my dad. I take the lyrics "Old man, take a look at my life. I am a lot like you'' to heart because in many ways I am exactly like my dad, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My mom on the other hand, growing up I had a lot of problems with her. Though it took me a long time to get over these problems, she is one of the best people in my life today. Which had mostly to do with her fighting her own personal battles, and overcoming them. It took her trying to forgive herself, for me to ever start forgiving.

I truly couldn't ask for a better family. I mean, who else fills a keg for fathers day, enjoying father-son kegstands? Father-son shotguns? lol

 

I sometimes feel that I have a better realtionship with my dad , because we are just the same. But I love my mom 2 , she's really sweet.

 

Sure why not?

 

I'm glad you guys all get along with your parents. I'll be honest that I dont. My parents are complete opposites of me in political and religous views, and in just about anything. Although, i know my dad was just like me and we like the same music. My dad is pretty cool, but i havent liked my mom too much lately. She doesnt let me do ANYTHING. im on my second week of winter break and have been at home constantly because she thinks my friends are bad influences on me, even though i got them into all this stuff.

wow, that felt pretty good to tell someone that

 

I am 26 and I love my parents. They are people- they have fears, worries, insecurities, and needs just like me and all other people. And they're great parents!

 

I don't really talk to my dad that much, we just don't get along, but I still love him, because he's my parent. My mom is like my best friend. I can talk to her about anything and she's really cool.

 

I doubt it helps out that many people. Mainly they are too concerned about getting busted by them to love, accept, and understand their parents more than their peers.

 

i really think it depends on what the person refers to as love and therefore it reflects there action towards their family or parents. i think that it also depends on the sort of society the person is brought up in.

For example in reference to my ideas i feel that i do love my parents though there are things that they believe in that i don't agree with, but because we are able to discuss things and have respect for one another our relationship thrives. if it was not for that i guess i would not love them and even want to live my life with them. In most cases I would have the opportunity to live happily somewhere else without them. This simply leads onto the question who actually says u have to love ur parents?

though i guess traditionally people felt that they did have to love the person who brought them into this world and therefore have to go along with what they say and what the believe. For example in some cultures in which the primary industry is common, for survival i guess children will have to love their parents and follow there traditions and in cases to prevent themselves from shame of being disowned because of disobeying parents who were kind enough to bring them into this world.

 

I love both my parents dearly, even though I wouldn't admit it to them. My mother is more of a friend to me and my dad has such a dry, sarcastic humour, if he doesnt like someone, heck you know that that person withh know about it. Yet he can also be peaceful and very kind, he is a dedicated father and provider, one in a million.

 

me gusta mi mama. a.k.a.... shes the shiznittle bamm flip flap sack.

my mom is the only person in this world i will ever be able to fully trust and i love her dearly.

 

Yes, I love my parents. my dad is a total prick, but I still love him.

I don't think most people really hate their parents even if they say they do.

 

You are exactly right in my case, but by accident. My Dad is a preacher and I was destined to rebel and be the exact opposite. So here I am.

 

I doubt that you are the "exact opposite". I am sure you needed to rebel, it is a necessary step for everyone, but what about the insights you got from your father about searching for "the meaning of life". (Something bigger and more mysterious than the mundane). That's what preachers are actually doing, more so than someone who isn't reflecting about why we are here at all. They may speak out, when they are not really capable of explaining the things they preach about, but I give them the credit for having an inquisitive mind, and a inclination toward the mystical. You may not think it added anything definitive to your development, and that you are the exact opposite, but maybe you're just more highly evolved.

 

i love my mom with reckless abandon. she is my idol and my hero. and i swear we got this freaky-friday thing going on because she is into "whats in now" (like music fashion shows ect) and im into retro stuff from when she was my age!

 

I definetly love my parents and don't care whether it's cool or not to.
Although I know a lot of people who think its cool to pretend to hate their parents, but they're arseholes anyway

 

ANYbody who thinks they are enlightened or have the ability to LOVE..

those people need to live with their parents...

LOVE ING and ACCEPTING parents is the final fronteir... do it now before they pass...

You can "love" everybody who has ever walked the planet from charles manson to saddam hussein... but it is ONE's parents that test the truth... YOU are YOUR PARENTS

I think it's hip to love your parents. My parents taught me how to love. They taught me right from wrong and how to be a good man. They put me on a good path; the one I chose.
