My parents had an experience of life that is as opposite to mine as you can imagine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.
You either become like your parents or you become the opposite of your parents. And I like to think that I'm the opposite of my parents.
My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
Seeing my parents makes me realise that life is not a fairy tale.
I've had a lot of different lives. I was adopted, I grew up in Nebraska, and then I went to Northwestern... Then I had this really extraordinary, different life than my parents.
I believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.
My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.
I had phenomenal parents. They kept me very grounded, and I lived a normal life.
Luckily, I have two of the coolest parents around. They're so open about having any and all experiences, so they never hindered us in any way by categorizing or judging anything.
