Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don't know. I don't know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don't know. I don't know. I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.
Parents have to really talk to their children before they leave home.
Things parents say to children are oftentimes not heard, but in some cases you pick up on things that your parent would like to see you have done.
A kid never listens to what his parents tell him to do. The parents actually act as an example of what their kids themselves do.
Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad.
It's not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.
I don't really say too much to my parents. If they ask me to do something I just do it and get it out of the way.
I have never had other kids in the house... I had a huge collection of marbles, and they all had names, which I think concerned my parents. I used to go and sweep outside and talk to myself, and my mum's friends would be over and say, 'Do you realise she is talking to herself?'
Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar.
Children rarely want to know who their parents were before they were parents, and when age finally stirs their curiosity, there is no parent left to tell them.
