We didn't do wrong things because we didn't want to embarrass our parents.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our parents set the moral tone of the family. They expected more of some of us and less of others, but never less than they thought we were capable of.
When I was a little kid, I used to really embarrass my parents.
My parents are really well intended, and I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.
I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
We didn't have everything we wanted when we were younger, but there was never a moment we didn't feel our parents weren't doing everything they could.
Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care so deeply.
As parents, we teach our children to do what's right.
We didn't do anything wrong... Some are frustrated that we did it this way.
My parents didn't care very much what I did, and that was probably a blessing.
How many times have your parents told you not to do things, and the next thing you know, you go do it? And you realized you shouldn't have done it.
