I was really blessed with parents who never said I couldn't do anything. And now I reflect as an adult on that, 'Wow, they never told me no!'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.
My parents, Gary and Patricia, let me be in my world. They never told me what I couldn't do. It helped me adapt in a positive way.
My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren't familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it.
My parents pretty much realized that I would do whatever I wanted, and that was it, really.
My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.
My parents were always pretty free with me. They were of the school of thought that if you really cramp down on someone and tell them not to do all these things, it's gonna become like forbidden fruit.
I was very lucky with the parents I was blessed with. I don't think it could have worked out any better. They've always been so understanding of me and understanding of what I want to do.
My parents didn't care very much what I did, and that was probably a blessing.
They thought that I was a man with reasonable judgment, so I was never under pressure from my parents; I could do whatever I wanted. I never had a negative word from them, nothing whatsoever.
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.
