Are you a good daughter/son to your parents?

I am not really sure how to answer this because I had been a black sheep of the family during my teenage yeears though I am a better person now. I already have my own family and still my dad seldom talks to me. Perhaps he still feels bad that I got married and had a son at an early age whereas I am the eldest among the siblings and he's counting too much on how I could help out in the family financially. I had nothing to do right now but to understand how he feels. On the other hand, I can feel that I am a better person now because I live for my family and I am more responsible than before.

I am still under my father's...actually more like my mother's care and I don't think I am a very good daughter to them. Even though I stay in school and get good grades, I've known it long before that only those won't make good ol' daddy happy enough. Though it's a different case with my mother. But still, whatever I do, nothing is good enough for me to be called a good daughter...

You can only do your best, and if you can put your hand on your heart to say that you did all you can and care for your father then you should have no problems...I think I am a good daughter to my parents and i keep reminding them, and then they say no! Of course not! They say i am bad because of the things that i do to a make them worry, angry, frustrated, but they only say these things just to raise my standards, and i do know that sometimes that the things I do do make them worry, so I try to compromise sometimes, just to do as they say and listen to them and you know, they are sometime very right... :)

Ha.....I feel am a good daughter to my parents because I am very helpful and supportive,when ever they were in trouble.

I don't know what my parents think but i always think that i am a good daughter to my parents.I always listen what they say and i never disobeyed them till date.If we do good to our parents naturally our child will do good to us and if we do bad to us than our child will do same as us thats the law and i think its happening to everyone.Obey your parents and try to fulfilled your parents desire and wish so that when you are a mother your child can do the same.

I am kind of feeling this way too. Before I went to college to pursue my major, I was raised in a strict household where my parents had the last say with everything I did. I hardly had any friends because my social skills were way out of whack. But once I entered college, I began to discover who I was as a person and my likes and dislikes. I found that once I really did this, I was comfortable with myself and I began to really appreciate my own worth as a person. Now, my parents were not too keen about this boost in confidence and saw this as a problem. They both had trouble letting go, but I had to be persistent, no matter how hard it was for both them and me. It is a very hard path to follow in this situation. I learned that you need to be happy. It is your own life and whatever direction you take, it is of your choosing. Parents should be there to love and support you, not boss you around. Stand up for yourself and do not be afraid. It will not be easy, but know that you are a good daughter and your parents will always love you!

I have always tried to be a good daughter. I might not have always agreed with my parents, but i always had respect for them. There were times when I might have wanted to do things my own way. Still, I would do my best to be a good daughter to my parents. I hope my own children feel the same for me.

Hello friend My parents are no more, dad left for gods abode in 1965 and mom in 2000, but they are in my heart each second, YES i have always been a good son to them, good parents to my grownup kids and good grandparents to my grandkids, i am a HAPPY man.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I will try to be best son but not due to my love stories with a girl of not our community. My parents did not happy with this. And also many matter when differences arose between us. Hence I think I am not a good son for my parents

I think I am a good daughter to my parents. I may not be perfect but I do my part as their daughter as part of their family. I do not forget my obligations to my family.

For me, I'm a good child...:D Haha. I think of my what'll my parents feel before I do things especially those that are not so good...:D I've been doing well in my studies and have been consistent with my grades and my goals (of course, they're part of them). I don't talk back to them; I wait and listen of what they have to say before I say my thoughts (but it's hard when I am angry, to control myself I mean..):D

I think i am, i have 2 brothers and one sister. I`m doing my best to be a good daughter, i listen my parents to what they have to say, and when i was young i did what they told me too, without saying a bad word to them, because they were and are my parents, i think that makes me a good and obedient daughter, my mother is closer to me than the other brothers of mine.

Honey I think you tried to be the best daughter possible but you have to understand that you are growing up. You must want to find your own happiness in some way. I am sure your parents will eventually find this out that they can't hold on to you forever. I think there are ways of slowly letting go in both directions without being bad to one another. I am 42 but not everything I have done has pleased my parents, yet we love each other.

i have not been a good daughter because i never did what my parents wanted me to do. I didn't agree with how they run things at home and how they made me feel that i was the least favorite child. But now that i have daughters of my own there are a lot of things i realize and appreciate about my parents. Oh and by the way, I was not a good daughter but I did not become a bad person. :)

Hi all :) I can say honestly i am verry bad son :( I shall change it :)

I think that i am an ok daughter but i feel a little bit of pressure though.I am an only child and I kinda feel like all bets are on me, you know...Also, I want to be able to help my parents and give back to them as i am aware of many things they have given up because they thought of me first and what would be better for the familly as a whole.But yeah i want them to be really proud of me.

I also a good daughter because I never go again to my parents and I am always listening to them and what ever they plan for me I am always agreeing with their decision .When ever they have me to finish my studies .They always concern about me and me too to them.

I was a good son before I went to my college but if i know think of myself i think that i have lost many of my characters for which i was loved by my parents.. As the time passes you have to change yourself to it..

I think I am a good son. Diferent, but good. My family, a christian family, ans a son(me), atheist, is not a good combination. Althought they understand they have to respect my believes, there are always sort of things. I think I am good with htem. I try not to be a pest, and explain them I a diferente to them, but I am their son. I keep on studying. I am not an example, but I think its ok. :)

yes why not, about you, you good to your parents?
