If you can choose your parents, would you?

Nope, I liked the set God gave me. If he wouldn't have given me the parents I had, I wouldn't be the person I am today. They were poor, and dairy farmers, and despite all the hard work when I was growing up, I wouldn't change anything for the world!

An interesting question. I guess it all depends on who does the choosing and the merits why the parents are being replaced by a new shiny set. If you asked me this question less than ten years ago, that would be a resounding yes. as a teenager, I didn't get along with my parents. It was much worse than my current standing with them. I often think I would be better off without them as my partents becuase they hardly have time to spend with me yet they lord my life as if it were their own. This gave birth to rebelious feelings and unfair treatment for my part. Now, I don't know whether I would replace them or not even if I had the choice and the chance. I guess somehow I learned some things from them and admired them for what they do despite their own shortcomings and weaknesses. As I grew older, I understood some of their situation and I am more willing to give them leeway. I just hope that in the future, my future kid would not subject me to this kind of question.

If given the choice, I would choose my parents.
