Have you been a good daughter or son?

You are a good son to your parents. I am a good son in total, but the only regret I have in my mind is that I cannot stay with them all life long because of my work in another province, so far away from mine, that I cannot take good care of them every day, but only when long holidays come. I wish my mother would live as long as the time after my retirement so that I can take good care of her, chat with her to drive her loneness away. My mother is seventy seven now and I still have to work at least another ten years before I can get retired from my work to get my retirement pension. I wish to be a perfect son to my mother.

Well, I got into Regional for my Honor Society this year, I received all As for the quarter this year (also great), and I got into Graduate School (the best news of all). I think that my family couldn't be more proud.

hi squallming, I do not know if I have been a good daughter but I am trying to do my best to be a good daughter. When I was young and a student, there were some instances that I gave headaches to my parents like going home late at night, having a serious relationship with a guy and talking at their back when they were scolding me. There was also a time I thought they did not love me because they always scolded me but now I realize that I was wrong. I already have a job. Whenever I get my salary, I give it all to my parents. If ever, I need or want something to buy, I just ask my parents for money. They are not selfish with giving me money. They also put some of my money in the bank for future use. Whenever my colleagues or friend will know that I give all my income to my parents, they laugh with it as they think its weird. But for me, it is okay. I am still single and is living with my family so it is okay with me.

I think I was a good daughter. I tried my best to please my parents, which was really difficult, because I was never good enough to suit them. As a kid I was always told I should be ashamed. I was always compared to my cousin, so I never even measured up to her. I think I was a good daughter to even tolerate that kind of treatment, and turn out to be a nurse. My mom was proud of me then… go figure? I worked in the same hospital that my mom did. She was a ward secretary. Sometimes I would be working her floor, and she would tell me, “you are my nurse today.” So I guess after all I did please them. Dad seemed to be proud also that I was a nurse. I did the best to be a good daughter. I could have just left them to fend for themselves in their old age, but I lived with them to take care of them and pay their mortgage for them when they could no longer live without struggling. They are both gone now and I know I did my best so I have no regrets.

I feel that I haven't been good daughter for them, since I still make some problems that make them burden and sad cos of me. I remember all of those bad time, when my parents becomes so shy and sad since my juvenile make them have to get any insult from some people, it makes feel so sad too. I promise to myself that I'll try to make them proud of me and never make them sad anymore

As far as I remember - I always try to keep the trust was given my parents, try not to hurt their feelings, although sometimes I've made them shed tears. and yes, I always hoped to be a good son for my parents

I knew that I my father thought I was a good daughter because he told me so many times. As for my mother, still alive, I guess I would have to ask her. I cannot answer for her. I can only answer if my daughter are good daughters to me. What I do know from experience is that we, as parents, should accept our children for what they are while trying to teach them with our example.

I believe I've never been a good daughter for to my parents because I disobeyed them many time and I neglect my responsibilities to my family. Even if they would tell me not to do such things, I didn't care as long as I wanted to do it. Now, I am suffering from it because I became a mother at the young age and I always regret what happened to me but I have no choice but to move forward.

I think I was, not a perfectly good son though. Like every other child I've had some problems with my parents. But those arguments have strengthened our relationship and we our now more like friends.

I think I am a good daughter. I don't do anything terrible and I always give my parents money when they are behind on their bills and such. I always try to help them since they took care of me all of my life... =)

Yes, I am. My parent are simple. They just require mr to give them 60 % or more of salary to them every month. And I did that and also give them extra bonus during holidays and birthday! "studied hard" is good! I did that and find a good job and pay them :)
