[quote=Anonymous]I'm 37, with 2 kids of my own, and if my parents asked me this question, I would answer with some of the stuff I remember - which I think is indicative what mattered. I remember my mom talking to me at the kitchen island, I remember family dinners, I remember my dad making us read Boy Scout Badge manuals before embarking on a new adventure so that we were 'prepared' (white water rafting, for example), I remember my mom annoyed at everything Dad did (indicating her 'martyr' mentality), and I remember them not loaning me money as a college student without charging interest (I am am excellent money manger!), and I remember the way my parents cared for my grandparents as they aged and died. I remember those things because those are the big things - the things that mattered. I don't think it's a crazy or hard question at all.[/quote]
