All through college, my mom would make me brownies. Just because. It was really cute.

no one loves their parents?

Since being 12 years old or somewhere in that vicinity, I've been cooking and cleaning for my parents and any other various housework they can think up. Fuck you and your loving parents that let you get drunk and shit.

My parents are okay. I don't hate them.

>>4905087
They didn't "let" me. I made a stupid choice and I ended up punished for it later. But them knowing what to do and not just sending my ass to the hospital saved me from getting in a lot of trouble. And I appreciate that now.

Jeez, r9k.

My parents are paying for my undergrad. I just have to pay for law school.

I feel incredibly lucky. I told them whenever they need me to take out loans, I would, though.

your parents sound awesome op

I hope to be as cool as them one day

My parents just put in unlimited text messaging for our family plan. My dad doesn't really use it unless he wants to contact me about serious business, but my mom texts me random shit all the time. It's weird how she always seems to say things she never would to my face. "I'm so proud of you, don't pressure yourself, keep up the good work, ..." And she ALWAYS misses buttons, which makes me laugh. "<random college> has a good physics grad program, who new?" I always want to reply with,
>new
but it's so funny I just can't bring myself to make fun of her.

If brobots had good parents, they wouldn't be on R9K whining about how mediocre their lives are.

I was an accident so my parents werent really prepared. They split when i was 14. Up until then they would mostly fight, there were some alright times. Both of them are good to me, they'll give me money and allow me to do whatever i want. but thats not very good parenting.

>>4905234
My mom's the same way. It's cute. My dad also texts but mostly we just joke around about shit.

My boyfriend's mom has my number. I'm picking him up tomorrow from the airport and she's been texting me the whole time he's been on vacation to make sure I had heard from him. She's adorable. She got really upset when I couldn't fly out to visit his family with him this summer. I love her almost as much as my own mom.

>>4905245
I don't think so. I'm sure the moms of r9k-ers love them a lot.

basically they had me.
they gave up their entire lives for you you ungrateful pieces of shit.
time to show some god damn respect.

My parents are awesome.
Especially my Dad.
But I took him for granted, and when Cancer killed him I realized what a great man was lost.
Don't ever take your parents for granted.
They won't always be there for you.

>>4905331

This. I wish more people would realize that. I guess that's why the thing with my dad's heart blockage made me value my parents so much more.

>>4905245
I just realized i was being a negative cunt. I partially blame my parents for where i am now (19-lacking a permanent job no licence, no car), but thats got to stop and ive got to take responsibility and get my shit together.

So here goes: My parents give me nothing but praise whenever i do somethng positive and they pretty much beleive i can do anything, I should probably listen to them more.
Also they spent 14 years unhappy together because of me. so that was nice of them.

>>4905015
Shitfuckcocknigger that original gif makes me b'awww HARD every time I see it.

My mother is the greatest woman alive. The fact that she puts up with me daily even though I haven't found another job yet is a testament to her patience and support. I could tell her I want to be a gay stripper for a career, and she would probably fully support me.

Love that woman.

My parents are pretty awesome. They're letting me live at home while I go to college, the only things I have to pay for are my phone and extra stuff (they pay for food, gas, etc.)

Although my dad is kind of a dick sometimes.

>>4905234
>>4905250
I think that's adorable too. I taught my mom how to text, and whenever a storm or tornado comes close to where I live, she texts me these worried messages asking if I'm alright. She uses the whole "internet slang" thing too, like "r u ok?". She also uses two spaces between every word. I asked her why, and she just told me "cause I think it looks good. Why, am I doing it wrong?" I just smiled and laughed.

My mom's so sweet.

>>4905482

Your dad probably found out that you visit gaia frequently and let him down greatly as a son.

>>4905548
Hey there you are, I wondered where my favorite little stalker was.

I don't mean he's a dick to me, he's actually a dick to my siblings. He's driven my older brother and is working on driving two of my younger brothers out of the house.

I've learned to avoid him for as much of the day as possible, it keeps me sane. Usually.

All of my life my brother and I put my parents through hell. We got arrested, got expelled, failed out of college and joined then left the military.

After all of this, I saw my dad the other day like I usually do for my weekly dinner with him. As always I was rather resentful of his depression when I finally realized it.

I had never thanked my dad for being there through everything. My mom had helped raise me; but my dad, he really pulled through in every hard time. With that determined look on his face he'd stand in my corner even if I was wrong, trying to help me find the right way through life.

I'm now going through an extremely rough college course and my brother is living with his wife down south. I consider myself to be on the way to success, and so I figured I'd let my dad know that.

He got quiet for a bit but told me that he was always worried that he could have done more; that somehow, he could have been a better father. I looked right at him and told him that he was the best father, the dad I needed whenever shit hit the fan.

I now look forward to going over to my parents house. I can't wait until Friday to go over there and play cribbage with him, have a talk about politics, life, the neighbors lawn, whatever it may be.

After 21 years, I finally realize, I love my parents.

>>4905015
Could someone please send the link for the whole GIF?

My mother physically and sexually abused me as a small boy, and cheated on my father.

He was ok I guess, but kind of a pussy.

>>4905616

Here you go.

Well out of the two of my parents I think my dad was the best. Since the day that my mother decided to run off with some hippy bisexual faggot who had the nerve to say "Honey" to another guy. He along with my Grandmother took care of me and my brother and sister, sure it was at the cost of him not being able to be at home for the majority of the time. But he did his best working a job for about 12 or so hours.

My father jumped hoops in my youth make sure my upbringing wasn't shit.

Thanks Dad.

My parents are fucking awesome. I'm so glad I wasn't a whiny little faggot when I was a teenager.

I hear stories all the time of how other people are messed up just from what their parents passed on to them. It's so easy to fuck up a kid's life, I feel like mine did an awesome job.

If anything, they probably should've been more strict with me, not let me get away with shit as I did.

Thanks, mom and dad. You rock.

>>4905644
Please tell more.
Tellmoreblox.

My mom's awesome. She raised my sister and me with almost no child support from my father (he is purposely unemployed so he doesn't have to pay it), all the while being the coolest fucking mom ever. I can just as easily talk with her about the weather as I can gay porn.

My parents used me having short term memory loss as a way to beat me without anyone else finding out. Had flashbacks of my early childhood when I was 16. After I moved out at 18, never spoke to them again. It's been 11 years now.

Fuck you Diana Whitticker, Fuck you Jarred Hess.

My parents may not be the best in the world but they love me so much. I am lucky. It made me feel so very guilty that I was the most important thing in their life. It was mainly hard for them because they were mentally sick but they tried really hard for me.

When I was 16 I went to camp for a month, and my Dad sent me a letter every day telling me what was going on at home, his thoughts, etc. In 1 letter out of about 27 he said that he got my report card in the mail and he was disappointed in how I had done (low 70s, I could've had 90s if I worked) and when he picked me up at the end of the month I was pissed at him for that 1 line in the 1 letter. 12 years later I still feel guilty for that. Still haven't had the balls to go to him and tell him what it meant to me (I still have the letters)

I have awesome parents. They would do anything for me.

my parents beat me when i was younger mostly for no reason i still have some scars on my back from a belt buckle. my father would spit in my face and call me a useless little bitch when i was only 10 which destroyed all my self esteem and confidence. we were extremley poor too. my brother pushed my mom once and she called the cops. they arrested my brother but did nothing to our parents. you have no rights when your a minority. they know better then to mess with me now cause i will fuck them up. doesnt really matter since they kicked me out the day i turned 18. my brother also joined the army and my father stole all of his money out of his bank account when he was in Iraq and he gambled it all away. my father is a sadistic ass whos been accused of being a child molestor(though nothing happened to me when i was younger) and my mother acts like shes a victim even though she starts all kinds of drama and makes him furious. they cant even get a divorce cause they're soo poor neither could afford to live on there own. they're pathetic weak people who beat up children to make themselves feel good. My mother isnt too bad anymore she regrets what she did when i was a kid and tries to make up for it. Messed up thing is im still grateful for them and still slightly love them even though they destroyed my life.

Im 19 now i work 2 jobs and live on my own. Im not going to sit there with my food stamps and welfare and baw about how shitty i had it.

Basically just remember this every time u get mad at your parents and think of how lucky you really are to have them. if they let you stay there for free after your 18 your parents officially rock.
All your parents sound kool as hell never be ungrateful.....time to get flamed by trolls

>>4905731
I remember her being psychotic, like she would have screaming fits where she would yell at me over and over and over again, till she was screaming wordlessly and sometimes she would like, take something she was holding and smash it repetitively in a rhythm with her screaming like AAAAAA SLAM, AAAA SLAM...or she'd throw shit at me, like plates, or furniture. Once she found me playing with matches, and made me hold a lit match over and over again till it burned my fingers and I dropped it till the pack was gone, and THEN a couple of years ago she decided it would be a good idea to confess to me that she used to hurt me as a baby too, and that she felt bad about it. I don't feel like talking about the sexual shit right now.

THANKS MOM.

>>4905841
>>4905870
do u also envy the shit out of everyone elses life?

>>4905835
If you told them you are a pedophile but too retarded to realise it is just a fetish and move on would they inform the authorities and have you removed from society for your own protection? If not then they don't love you.

I love my parents, but I am very "rebellious" I guess. But in subtle ways, like I don't go out and get drunk every night and dye my hair blue or some crazy shit like that. I sit in my room with basically a shitload of computer equipment that I purchased myself, because I have a very good job doing web development and I try to be as financially independent as possible.

This is partially for their benefit. They are very deep in debt, and I don't want to be a burden on them. I mean they still buy groceries and of course pay the house bill and utilities and blah blah blah but I pay for my phone, and whenever I want to go out to eat I pay, I usually pay for them too.

My dad has asked me if I "respect him" before, like he feels bad that he wasn't strict enough with me when I was younger. I guess I am just an argumentative person, I argue like that with everybody and I have a lot of opinions, it has nothing to do with him as a person. I really feel bad about the relationship I have with my parents, even though superficially there is nothing really wrong with it. I guess I only feel bad when I examine bad moments that I have had with them over the years, and I just had another bad spell with them a few days ago. That is natural though, right? It's not like it has been some overshadowing aspect of our relationship. Yes I've done the getting caught with weed/getting drunk thing but not like overdone it.

Anyways, introspection aside they seem to be okay parents. It's about what you can expect. I mean yes there are things that they did that I very do not agree with, but they stayed fucking together (which is more than fucking half the people do these days) and they still seem to love each other, so I doubt they will be splitting up before they leave the earth. So I guess I am pretty lucky, I need to think of a way to show appreciation to them.

>>4905921
the po po cause ur a pedo

>>4905901

>For your own protection.

What? is something after me?

My dad is awesome. He taught me how to not be an uncultured and humorless jackass. He's a really nice guy and always helps people no matter what. Love him to death.

My mother, on the other hand, is horrid. Talks way louder than she needs to, cries/screams easily, repeats the same stories over and over, guilt trips everyone on everything and then cries/screams when we do whatever it is she wants (i.e. when she succeeds). She refuses to learn new things and is constantly overly-defensive about her opinions. Basically, if you say/do anything she doesn't like, expect no less than an hour of bitching and whining and snide "I guess xxx is grumpy" comments after we tell her to drop it.

But goddamn, do I love my dad. I feel bad that he has to put up with her.

>>4905937
Are you kidding? Protection from yourself!

>>4905940

Hi, weird question: is your mother Jewish?

I'm an only child and my parents are fucking incredible. I would without a doubt have killed myself a year or two ago if it weren't for them. I dropped out of university (that they had been paying for) and they didn't care at all; they just wanted me to be happy and to get better. They're still supporting me and are going to pay for me to get back into therapy and seeing if I can find some drug regimen that will actually help my depression. They've certainly done way more for me then I deserve. I love them so, so much. I get pretty down and angry when I read about people who had shitty parents, but of course it makes me even more grateful for my own parents.

>>4905964

You're right. I have no idea what i am capable of. For Gods sake think of the children!

>>4905980
Yeah. What's it to you?

questionantiblockcockrocksockdock

I don't talk to my dad much these days. There's a little bit of uneasiness since I'm not as successful as he would like. Somewhat understandable; I've got no car and I don't go to school. He'll pay for dinner most of the time if we ever eat somewhere, so that's pretty cool.

My mom invites me over sometimes to eat whatever she cooks. She really goes out of her way, and on top of that, she's really supportive of what I want to do with my life, no matter how silly my dreams are.

>>4905521
My mom does that too, haha.

I think that, even more than being yelled at, being told by your parents that they're disappointed hurts sooo bad. I always feel awful in those situations.

Recently my mom apologized for basically leaving me alone a lot of my childhood because she had to focus on my brother (he has a lot of disabilities and had a shitty childhood as far as school goes). It felt kinda good. I never got angry about being left alone, but I do think things might have been different for me if I wasn't.

I've got the best parents ever. They are so selfless when it comes to helping me out. They pay for undergrad, they pay for my car, for gas, for everything and totally understand that I can't for my life find a job. I really am grateful.

I am adopted so I understand my parents are even more grateful for having me.
I fukced up recently and caused damge which will have to be repaired but my parents were cool ,even though we are kinda poor. They were more worried about whether I was ok.

I would agree if my parents didn't beat me and I got emancipated

My parents died when I was 9 :(

My dad was great; mom was a bitch though.

I basically set my house on fire on accident and we had to live somewhere else for four months. Most of our stuff was salvageable (except mine, since it was in my room), but obviously that was hard for my parents. But they never blamed me or anything.

>>4905234

You are now realising artemis is Ash Ketchum.

One time, my mom didn't say that she was disappointed in me. I don't care that I have shitty parents anymore. I'm a million times more successful than they are, and I'm only 19.

Dad is awesome. Srsly couldn't ask for a better one. Heck funny and supportive. I grew up as a girl living with her bachelor dad, and I'm glad for it. If it wasn't for him...

Batshit crazy mom would have turned me into a dropout drunkard.
