[quote=Anonymous]More than ever, being a parent helped me forgive my parents any mistakes they made. Kids are so self-centered; you really don’t realize as a kid all the stuff that your parents have to deal with, that has nothing to do with you. My parents were blue collar and worked every day to provide us a middle class life, but always stressed and fought about money, for example. Now I realize how hard that must have been. I cringe now when I think back to how my parents would come home after working all day, with a long commute, and my brother and I would immediately start complaining about what stupid thing we were bickering about, or not wanting to have chicken yet again, the school supplies we just remembered we needed for the project due tomorrow— how did they not smack the heck out of us, lol.
