Of course some mums and dads are utterly rubbish and shouldn't be allowed to have children. Fact.

I had one of those mums. She left when I was 5. Luckily I had the best dad ever who looked after me. I'll always be a daddys girl.

I didn't let him touch me though.

other way round for me. Didn't stick around past 6 months. Still, better off without is the way I look at it! We're lucky we hit gold with the one we had left

I prefer my dad to my mum, they both rock, but i just prefer my dad as he's a lot funnier (and grumpier at times)

Easily thread of the day. People get to caught up in the most trivial things to the point where we neglect what's really important in life. Family 4TW.

Its only after you leave home that you really, really appreciate your folks.

See, I've drifted even further from them.

I live in the same city as my sister, 70 miles from my parents.

In all honesty, if it weren't for shared interests, I would barely speak to them...Just not that strong a bond.

But my sister calls home 5-odd times a week...is this a girl thing? My girlfriend does the same...

One day I woke up and realised my mum was right..... about everything.... darn it..

ElRazur · 2 Mar 2006 at 19:16

I envy you guys here about how you all cherish your mum and dad. Well for me it is not like that, i dont know my mum, she died while i was one (too young to remember) and i dont like my dad for the way he treated me and when he died two years ago i didnt have the chance to tell him exactly how i feel. I still find it hard to forgive him.

So basically i dont know how it feels to truly have a mum or a loving dad. (and dont feel sorry for me i am use to it now)

Well then, you've only got one you! That's got 2 be better than nothing

I think people (particularly the young un's) should bear in mind their mum carried them, and think about all the sacrifices that their mum will have made.

I never got chance to say these things to her, I was 18 when she died and I couldn't get home in time.

so true! dads ok, but mum is a total 100% loon.

Never waste the oportunity to tell those you love, that they are loved. Someone really close to me has Alzheimers and we will never have another conversation as long as she lives, and I really miss the person she was.

Aw

Sorry to hear that. I do tell those I love all the time, they must be sick of hearing it now. Can't bear the thought that one day something might happen and I'd regret not saying it enough.
