What is the greatest lesson you have learned from your parents (guardians)?

My mom wouldn't really baby me, she always told me to shake stuff off and keep stepping....that has really helped me out alot, another thing my mom always told me was that I have to know God for myself and not based my belief on what everyone else said

I learned from my aunt and my uncle how to keep a marriage alive! They still act like they're young and the love in their eyes is so genuine even after 30 years!

My parents have taught me how NOT to fight with my husband. All they ever did was yell off top andnever allow some thinking or breathing time.

Whenever I would whine and complain about something someone did to me, my mother always said, "well, it's not happening now". That used to really make me mad. But I see her point now.

To be honest, my parents messed up my sister and me big style. We've learned to be different and better parents for our own children. Hope this answers your question.

edit: thanks, kdollmusic. It means a lot to us.
