about how you are as son or daughter, what do you think are they going to tell about you? I am not a perfect daughter but I can say I am not a bad daughter. I reason out not because of disrespect but because I wanted to express my opinion about something. Still, even with this character, I see to it that I respect my parents. I maybe very straightforward but I did try to be respectful. I admit that I was stubborn in some ways but I did my best to make them proud. Then things get different from what my father expects of me, I felt I disappointed him, but even when I got married, I tried to do my part as a daughter. I tended to some of the financial needs, and to finding resources for his medication and hospitalization. When my parents died, I tended to the needs for the wake and the burial. I know, being a daughter is a forever thing, and I know I was guilty somehow not being able to meet the expectations. But I have my reasons, and it is my individual belief that I can do it on my own, according to what I believe will make me happy as an individual. I am a mother of two. My children are achievers. They both make me happy and sad at some point. But it is a realization that this is probably what my parents went through having me as their daughter. What would your parents say about you? Do you have an idea? Have you thought about this at one time in your life?

My mom should say that I am a good child as I have never been in trouble and she has lived with my husband and I now for a long time. I think that she would say that I am stubborn and that I speak my mind and that I try to never let anyone run over me.

I guess my parents would say that I'm hot-headed and still immature. Also, that I don't know how to spend my money right and that I am not thrifty. I admit all these things as I'm trying to change these bad traits for me to be a better person and a better son to my parents.

that is good. your parents will be proud of you if they see that you've changed. i realized that parents only wish for the good things for their children. in the future, you'll realize it, too. thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being bold enough to admit your mistakes. what is important is the conviction.
