Can you say to yourself that you are a good daugther or a good son to your parents? Why?

I don't think from my parents point of view I am good enough as they expected something out of me and I couldn't be what they wanted me to be. These differences are always seen among many parents and kids. From my point of view I am good to my parents as I love them without any expectation or bench marking standards.
So if you would ask me a why further apart from love, I would say that I am doing things in my life so that someday they will be proud that their son is after all worth something. They would know how less meaningful are others in their life and how close family should be. They would stop believing in others and they would get back to their real senses and they would start being less materialistic, which all would help them in their longest run.
Now my dear MyLot friend, I am new here in mylot and you can always get back to me with more discussions and I will answer. And yes I will stay good to my parents even if they won't realize my value.

I agree with angelsword. I try to be the best that I can as a daughter and person at the same time. I still love my parents. However, loving them doesn't mean putting them in a pedestal and do whatever they say without clashing with what I want in life and their interests. I always say to myself that my parents should respect me as a fellow human being even though technically I am a product of their union. Respecting means knowing when to push and to back off on certain issues. I know that good parents always have the very best intentions but they should also be open minded when it comes their children. Children aren't their property (in contrast to what some parents think about their children) and have their own thing in the world.

My parents have passed away. Every time I think of my parents, I feel very sad because I did not take care of them well enough. I should say I was not a good son. Focusing on my career, I was living at a distant place when they were not well, and I was not with them during their last days.

I think I am a good daughter, I believe so. I can still recall how my parents value education. They said that I should finish college because that would be my stepping stone to succeed. I did it. I am not a kind of student who cut classes, I do not have vices.
They said that I should not marry until I have a stable job because I should enjoy first my life as "single" before settling down. I married at the age of 26 years old. Eventhough I am married, I don't forget my responsibilities as a daughter. :)
I love my parents. They are my role model....I admire them. How I wish I can raise my child the way they did to me. :)

I tried to be a good daughter to both of my parents. I still try to be that good daughter now even though I don't live with my mom anymore. My mom went crazy last summer and started losing her mind so I left six months after watching her completely debilitate. It's hard living with my dad nowadays. Things are different at his house compared to at the other house.

I wish I could say I am a good daughter to my parents. Unfortunately I have felt quite depressed and made my parents worried. Not always am I content with my life and have felt not satisfied with some situations. If I received some criticism, I used to feel offended. My parents have felt worried because of my dissatisfaction with life. I know sometimes I have made the life of my parents quite problematic.
