An easy question, isn't it? I know most of the people will surely say "Yes" :) This is the right answer! I am proud of my parents due to many reasons. The most of the reason is "They are my Parents" :) But without exaggeration, we must admit that parents are the entities very very sincere! They need respect and love.
How do you feel? Do you proud of your parents? What is the most thing that makes you feel? If you like to add some valuable inputs of yours, I ll' be obliged.
Dedicated to parents!

My parents divorced when I was 2 years of age....my Mom worked very hard all of my childhood to provide a safe stable home for me and my sister....I have the greatest respect for her....Thirteen years ago, she had an aneurysm and has lived with me for many years....I feel blessed that she survived this horrible health issue and our roles in life has reversed...so many years she took care of me and now I take care of her.
I have developed a relationship with my father, as well...
but that did not happen until I was a teenager....he also has numerous health problems now-a-days and may end up living with me too before long...
Yes, I am proud of my parents...they gave me life and the knowledge to carryon with my life once I reached adulthood...for this I will be forever grateful!

Yes, I am proud of my parenst.
I am proud of my father for working all his life to raise his kids. He never stopped paying child support even once. He is now retired and he isn't even 65.
I am proud of my mother because she taught me how to love and not hate, not to judge people by what the wear or how much money they have. But by how they act and conduct themselves as a person.

I am very proud of my parents. My mom and dad were both born at the beginning of WWII. My grandfather skipped town and my mother was sent away to a convent school cause my grandma couldn't afford to care for all three of her kids. My mom has taught me so much about kindness and generosity. She is also very talented when it comes to knitting, crocheting and sewing!
My father I am most proud of. He is illiterate in both his native language and American. Yet he is a jack of many trades! He was working with my hubby laying a walkway of slate. Took a mallet and tapped a few places. He declared "it's level" and hubby didn't believe him until he took out the level and put it on the slate. Well it was spot on!! My father at one time was running his own landscaping business and making over $75K a year. My brother thought he was smarter and took the business over. Within a few months it was gone cause my brother couldn't run it.
I have lots to be proud of my parents. Italian immigrants who came here with almost nothing. Met on a blind date and married three months later. They are still married almost 40 years later - that in itself is something to be proud of! Now my parents own their own home free and clear and have been there to help us SO MANY times!!

my parents are my hero..they've done everything to make me happy. The truth is that I am an adopted child, I was adopted when i was just a 5 month-old baby..but I've never felt that I was an adopted child. My foster parents which I considered as my real parents treated me like their own. I love them so much especially my mom who sacrificed so many things for me. They brought me up well, sheltered me, loved me, get me into good schools and they are always there for me. I love them so much that I won't do anything to hurt them. If I hurt them, then I will be hurting myself too.

Of course YES.
Firstly, because of them, I have the chance to be in this colorful world.
Secondly, they give me the best environment during my growth.
Finally, I can feel their concerns all the time. Even I am dependent now.
Because my workplace is far away from home, I couldn't go home frequently.When I go back home each time, my mother has already cooked my favorite dishes. I remembered that she was very busy when I got back, she had no time to prepare, so the dishes were really simple that day. I had no appetite. She felt very sorry that day, and came to me the following day, when I heard her explanation for the simple dishes last night, I couldn't help crying in my heart, I was really moving. She is the mother, unnecessary to give apologize to me. I swore that I would make my mother live comfortably in the future.
My father is also very kind. He gave me much help in the study. He is quite simple in life, but if I wanna have some luxurious items, he will buy them for me without any hesitation.
Although I disagree with their opinions sometimes, I could understand their standpoints.I respect them.
I love my parents. They are worth respecting. They are the most important people in my life.

O Dear Dear .... Looking at your facts I would really recall what my late mother did for me. Whilst I was at university study and away from home, upon return she used to do the same like your mom. The same way she just waited for me ... the time to return home ammm then the food already cooked and collection of my dirty clothes for wash and many other loving things.
My mom is no more with me. I miss her very much and I wish your mom to live long. Thanks for sharing your valuable comments here. Much appreciating.. God Bless you!

I was born in a small village, with a elder brother and a younger sister. Life was hard when I was young. My father had to work very hard every day to meet the needs of the whole family.
He was the eldest son in his family. My grandpa was not a real responsible parent, and he stayed outside most of the time, while my grandma was bed-ridden, and she could not even take care of herself. My father had to take the responsibility of the whole family when he was only 13 years old. He learned how to cook, how to sow, how to harvest, how to manage all the house chores when others were enjoying their care-free childhood.
I admired him in a lot of different ways.
It was nice that he married mom, who was a very diligent and virtuous woman. Mom was also the eldest daughter in her family. She had three sisters and one brother.When she was young, most of the time she just acted as a babysister. Once, mom told me that how she just wished go out with her peer when she was a teenage. But, she had to take care of her baby sisters and brothers.
They got married very early, because father need a partner to help him in his life. Mom was 19 years old at that time, and father was 22. Together, they moved into the old apartment that grandpa left for them, and then one year later, my brother was born. Then five years, I was born, then my sister.
My parents were just very plain farmers. But, they worked very hard to make our life better. They never complained about their life, about being not able to enjoy some love grandpa never gave them or any help from others. They struggled to stand on their own feet.
Together, they built our own house, which was spacious and comfortable. They bought cars, sent us to get education, supported my grandparents, paid for my college fees.
They never gave us the best, not the best toys, not the best clothes, not the best computers. But, they offered us their best, and in that aspect, they earned my deepest love and respect.

well I love my parents and there is no easy way to express all what I feel..first of all I love them because they are the love that generated me..secondly because they raised me with love and affection..and then then because they made and still make any sacrifies for me..because they are always there for me when I need them the most and because they loved me so much to help me fly away from home, because a complete and independent person, though linked to them in a special way no distance can cancel..I love them and sure, I am proud of them, too

I am super proud of my parents indeed! We were very poor but they managed to send us all to school. They worked so hard and managed their finances so well inspite of their not being able to finish school themselves. What more! we grew up with no debts and even now they dont borrow money from anyone. I am so proud of what they have done and accomplished!

Yes definitely. Parent are the most respected one in the world, next to god, even equal to god. They have taken so much care to grow us, feed us, give us what we needed, especially love us. We cant be here without them. Im very very proud of my parent. My father educated me even though he was very very poor trying to make both ends meet. He never let me know the poverty in home, he made me feel comfortable always. Only when I know later, I came to know the greatness of our parent. They are great.. they are God in front of us.

yeah, the dominant reason is "They are my parents, no matter what they've done and what's they lacked on". I'd love to make my parents happy, but I have different way. I hope they understand that I really love them.
