Do you blame your parents for anything in your life?

I don't have much to blame my parents for. I had a pretty good upbringing and I think they kept me on the straight and narrow. But jesus christ there are some fashion shockers in my past. Mullet in the 80's, shiny shirts in the 90's. Come on mum and dad, what were you thinking letting me go outside looking like that? :eek:

What about you?
 
I wanted a Commodore 64 for my birthday/Christmas and I got an Amstrad CPC-464. :(

I've still not forgiven them.
 
They did what they did, but I've made my own choices since which in a way are because of my past. I am where I am now because of me :)
 
My Parents didn't really have enough meaningful input in my life to blame them for anything.

I am what I am despite them, not because of them and to attribute anything in my life to them would be giving them credit they do not deserve be it positive or negative.
 
Male Pattern Baldness..... *******!!

Also, Both their vision has gone, they both need glasses. Mine is fine right now at 28 but I'm expecting to follow in their footsteps at some point.

OMG no I had the colour one. It just goes to show no matter how bad you think things are there is always someone worse off. Thanks for putting things into perspective for me and I hope you've recovered fully. :(
 
I don't blame them for anything however I do wish they had pushed me more. I did well at school and got good GCSE's.

However I know if they pushed me rather than let me coast through school I'd have achieved more in my professional life.

This isn't their fault, more mine really for not pushing myself. However when you're a kid you don't always think about that.
 
I don't really blame them for anything, but my mum running off with her boss when I was 14 did not exactly help my state if mind at the time as I had to look after my little sister for a while as my dad was in pieces about it.
 
My dad was a bully a total waste of space.

I'd get a smack for know reason apart from being in the same room, constantly being put down for not being as clever as him. I'd spend as much time as possible out and about and when i was home i'd be in my room.

Mum was million times better than him.

I left home at 16 and have not seen my father since and don't want to either, parents split up a couple of years after i moved out.
 
Not being allowed a pair of Reebok Hexalite Pumps, set my social life back about 5 years. Gola and Hi-Tec were not cool at our school, I tried to tell my parents but they were having none of it. :(

Seriously though, I'll probably end up putting my kids through similar. :D
 
I'm not particularly confident in some situations or myself and my ability, something which my mum has trouble with (but far worse than myself). However, I'm beginning to realise that I'm pretty good at most things I do and see that quite a few people around me seem to struggle with things I don't, so I'm starting to build a better sense of self-belief.
