Looking back as an adult, do you wish your parents would have been different in some way?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all have had our dream parents? The older I get the more I realize what pressures the world presents. The more I realize that, the more I understand my parents did the best by me that they were capable of doing. Now I often wonder if I would have done as well given their situation. I raised one child, they had six! My child was wonderfully healthy, but I was very sickly. I have triple the income my parents had, even given inflation. I was raised in the era of civil rights; my parents grew up under even worse discrimination than I experience today.

I bless the memory of my parents and forgive them completely what I didn't get that I felt I needed. It is too late now anyway.

Of course..... usually every kid grows up and thinks back about what type of parents they had. I know when I think back about my parents, I wished my dad would of been there for me as a parent instead of putting me out when I was 16yrs. I wished my mother would of been a better parent by not letting my dad tear my life up into pieces. There are alot of things that I wished my parents would of done differently when it came to my brother and I. But even though I wished that I still love then cause they are my parents.

I do sometimes look back and wish things were different, But if they were, then I would not have the hansdomest little boy or the best caring boyfriend. So no i wish not to change anything.

Looking back no I don't except it may have been different if my Mother had lived.I'am amassed much my stepmother and my father learned while I was growing up.They were GREAT

No not really, I happy with who I have become. I know they did the best with who they were and what they had at the time.

No regrets here.

no not really, I think my parents did a great job....
