Have you ever disapointed or let down your parents?

Oh boy have I!! First I ran away from home when I was 19 and lived in another state for a year, that was the offical day I was made the black sheep of the family. Then I followed that up with working as a Bartender in a Strip club for a couple of years. Man did those two things send my Mom over the edge.

Although my parents never said anything,I think we all in one way or another fail to live up to the expectations they set for us. If we look back at the choices we have made thru our lives,I am sure there are many times when we wish we could go back and do it differently. So part of their dissapointment is a result of their dissapointment in themselves as well. While parents may not agree with some of our choices,many do love us and want what is best for us.

I think my mom more than my dad. I have a closed minded mother that doesn't see both sides of ANY coin, ya know? My father says he's proud of me no matter what, but my mother is a different story. Her big disappointment was when I married the man that I married. She to this day says he is "beneath" me. (not literally but figurativly LOL) He doesn't do anything right, doesn't make enough money, doesn't work hard enough, doesn't treat me right, doesn't keep me in the life style that she raised me to have. I'm 36, I do not worry about her any more, this is her problem not mine.

I think all people dissapoint their parents at some point and that it is just a part of life. Sosmehow your parents have a tendensy iof thinking that u are perfect and can not make a mistake=) I do belive that we are allowed to make "mistakes" and that we can learn alot from them!

I HAVE LET DOWN MY FAMILY SOMETIMES BUT NOT TO THAT EXTENT THAT IT WIL LEAD TO NOT TALKING OF THEM WITH ME MORE NOMORE ITS NOT THIER FAULT TOOOO

nop, never.

My parents were very tolerant and accepting of me, I guess I was a miracle baby to them, as the doctors told mum she couldn't get pregnant, I was the only one, so naturally I got spoilt. I was actually very very good as a child and never gave my parents cause for concern. All they wanted for me was that I tried my best and my happiness was their prime concern. I've caused mum a few worries through my 'volatile' relationships and she does worry so, like mums do.

i sure hope i have not let them down. i try my best to be the best daughter i can be, i try to follow and do whatever they think is right.. and it saddens me at times that i dont get the appreciation of all the things i did for them and for our family...:( my dad let me down though. he's admitted that he has another woman to us when i was 12. we have not talked much since then and he's abandoned us for his "other" woman.

I don't think I have ever let my parents down as they always seemed to be very proud of me. There was one occasion when I gave up my music lessons, and they were extremely disappointed as they considered me to be very talented. However, I soon realised my folly and it wasn't long before the lessons were in full swing again.

Sadly yes I have .. when my marriage broke down and I had to tell my parents all my mother could think to say was 'how dare you do that to that poor boy' .. hmm well thanks mum ... She didn't speak to me for two years after that .. just when I could have done with a little bit of support .. but then we have never really got on very well ..

yes. i have been there before. athough that they for give me, but im still feel guilty to them. i want to make them happy. and they are very old now. not stronger than it used to be.time running so fast..will i be able to make them happy?

i think i have not. instead i have made them proud by my actions. my father was present at the time of convocation when i got gold medal at engineering. i made them proud. i also made them proud many time.

Letting down parents is an everyday concern for every person the next door. There are many dreams that our parents might have woven for us, and many a times we fail to fulfill their dreams.This also tends to dissappoint them to some extent. Thus there is always some or the other situation when we let down our parents knowingly or unknowingly

Well,you are a little girl...haha I am a Chinese girl.I am 22 years old. If you were in China and you got pregnant at the age of 16, you would be pounched by your father! Let down my parents?Maybe when I failed in the college entance examination.That was terrible!I am not bad in studying, but I failed at all... After a year's review, I succeeded in the exam...

Of course, I thing everyone has! My dad called my defective (as I'm disabled) and mom flipped out because I'm bi.

i felt disappointed when my dad become a loser in a game which he is very known.
