[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best parenting advice I ever got was "you get what you put in". [b]So I hope eventually I get back the love, affection and care that I have put in.[/b] I think a lot of people are rightfully bitter towards their parents because their parents didn't put that much in when they were growing up and now expect a lot in return. [/quote] You won't. It's not natural for offspring to love their parents as much as their parents love them. You move away from them emotionally as you grow up and become independent. The best you can hope for is mutual respect and some level of affection. You're setting yourself up for disappointment big time with these kinds of expectations. [/quote]
