I am a single mom and I am hoping and I hope and pray that all my kids know how much I love them even tho I very often did not have the time that I would have liked to spend with them...nor the money to do what i would have liked for them. I have had to work very hard to provide for them. I have 4 girls and 3 of them are grown now. I don't know your parents or your situation but your letter made me feel sad.

I don't hate my parents. I love them so much even if they could be so irritating sometimes. I know they love me too and I owe my life to them. Everything they do is always good for me but there are really times that we don't understand each other that maybe because I could sometimes be so hardheaded.

I believe everyone has awkward moments with their parents. Can be a love/hate relationship at times but please keep in mind they are your parents and do love you.
I'm sure my kids had periods where they felt they hated/disliked me for various decisions I made for them when they were younger. As time goes on, we realize how important our parents are to us. Sometimes it takes years.

I believe that our parents raise us in the way they think is right. They do what they can and they sometimes make mistakes that the children won't forget. Well, remember.. they are humans and make mistakes, like all of us. We shouldn't blame or hate them. When you have your own children, then you will be in the position of your parents, you will realize that sometimes you don't do things like you want to, you don't spend enough time with your children, you made a wrong decision about something involving your kids, you shouldn't yell at them etc etc..And don't forget that your parents are the people who gave you your life! This is THE reason we ought to love, respect and honor them, no matter what.

I understand that u probably feel dissapointed with your mom & dad because their lack of attention, but you must realize parents have different kind of way to educate their children, maybe they didn't want you to be spoiled kid. My mom has passed away when I was 4 yo and my dad was busy doing his job, I felt lost at that time but it made me & my siblings became close each other and we helping hand to learn everything that we should know. The important thing is do your school, explore your hobby and enjoy life in a good way

Don't hate your parents. They might have not had time for you as they were working a lot to support the family. My mom raised my brother and I and she was a single parent so she worked a lot and wasn't around much.

Truly sorry to hear that and I only have my mom but yes I do love her very much. She has been there for me no matter what kind of trouble I got into earlier in life. We didn't have much but she did her very best and always kept us fed and clothed. I fell I am very lucky to have at least one parent who cares for me and loves me.

I am a parent myself, and I understand how you feel. It's just unfortunate how some parents wouldn't know that one of the most important needs of their children is for them to spend quality time with them. This is really an issue that parents should try to resolve at once, or else what happened to you would be the same for those children whose parents don't know how to express their love. When my kids were young, I see to it that both of us spend quality time with them. When we go out, we always bring them along--to church, to supermarkets, to the beach, even to the wet market! For me, I should enjoy the company of my kids to the maximum 'coz time will come that they would already prefer their friends' company over us. But these days, my two kids are grown ups(25 and 22), but we still bond and go together the way we used to--of course both are still single..do let your parents know about how you truly feel about this....it might be their wake up call. God bles

do not hate your mom and dad, they might be busy but you still do not know what is in their minds... i used to hate my mom because of her attitude, but there came a point in my life that i was able to understand her and i now know that i do not hate her but love her...

Pls don't hate your parents. I do understand your feelings.
In China, more young parents are busy working. It seems they ignore their child--only child. The situation looks like your description. They have enough time to do everything except paying with their child.
But why? As pressure from life become heavier and heavier. They have to work harder to improve their life quality. General speaking, they want to give a high-quality life to their children.
What I want to tell you is your parents love you very much.I think your parents have their own reasons.
Dear Surajk4u, why don't you talk with your parents about it frankly? Don't do anything making you regret in the future.
I hope you can renew your good relationship with your parents.

hate is a very strong word. maybe you should try to speak with your parents about your feeelings to them.i think every parents wants the best for their children. maybe they dont have time for you because they are busy preparing for your future. talk to them, tell them how you feel. by the way, do you mind if i ask how old you are?
