i always knew how much my parents loved me, but i didn`t realize how much they sacraficed for me when i was younger until after i had my daughter. it really put things in perspective for me. now my DH is probably on the other side of the spectrum. his father was a drunk, gambler, druggie, and not around for a lot of his childhood and that gave him perspective as to what he wanted to make sure and avoid when he thought about being a dad. it has made him so much more aware of his actions.

it really goes both ways for me, but now i have a huge list of what i am NOT going to do when raising my baby, i do howeverlisten to most of my moms advise, and respect her for raising us more..

Wow, I`m surprised by how many of you are more appreciative. I am more sympathetic towards those who find themselves angry and resentful. I can relate! Looking at my relationship with my parents, I know what to NOT do, lets just leave it at that!

Very much so! My mom was only 16 & still in high school when she had me! She was into basketball, softball & cheerleading! She was also in to partying/hanging out with her friends!!! She spent VERY little time with me....my grandparents practically raised me! When looking at my own son, it angers me to think that someone could miss out on all of the precious times! You can NEVER get them back! She realizes it now, but obviously will never be able to re-capture those times!! She is very close to my son, but it sometimes bothers me, because I often feel like she is trying to `make up for lost times`! My dad...he`s a loser! Never was around, when I was growing up....still isn`t!!! He has seen my son.....MAYBE 5 times...that`s just a guess!

Oh boy does it ever! My husband says it makes him understanding and tolerant of his parents, but becoming a parent has made me more angry with my own parents. Now that I see them exhibiting the same selfish behavior towards my son, I`ve pretty much cut my father off and my mother is next to go!

I appreciate mines more. My Mom had 3 by age 21 and her and my Dad are still happy after 35 years. I realise how hard it must have been for them and have forgiven them for smacking us when we were young. I used to have a real grudge about it and although I would never smack my own, I understand that they were young and not really mature enough to use other methods. They are the most wonderful grandparents ever and I asked them recently if it was true that grandparents love grandchildren more than their kids. They said no, the way you are with your grandchildren is how you wish you were with your kids.

i do appreciate my parents more, i understand now that they were human beings, doing a really hard job as best as they could. but, i do not do things the way they did, i have my own way of doing things, my own set of values and morals, my own prioritys, so things are very different to how i grew up
