On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the way your parents brought you up ? If you ask me how I would rate my parents, I am sorry I can never rate them as I never knew my parents. I grew up in the care of other people. This is why I am asking this question as I am very much interested in the way you rate your parents as reflective of the way they brought you up.

I will rate them at the score of 10.I appreciate them so much really.to be honest with you,my family is very poor and in our traditional little village,so few parents support their girls to school because they think that girls will marry to others in the future,so it is not useful to go to school for girls.but my parents just try their best to support me and my brother to university,no matter how hard it is.so I am proud of them.

angela2006, your parents are indeed wise in supporting your education and breaking from the traditional ways of your village. You are very fortunate to have them as your parents. Thanks for sharing.

Hi molusk, I am really sorry to hear yoru story. Growing up in the care of parents in a good family background is a privilege. I was brought up like that. Eventhough we were not rich, my parents took good care of me and my sibling. I would rate 9/10 for my mother adn 8/10 for my father.

I honestly don't know how I would rate my parents. Some things they were really good about raising me on, while others they really slacked on. A couple times they completely freaked out about, as parents do, but it just made me want to keep them far away out of my life. To be honest, that's a lesson I don't know why many parents haven't learned. If you start to tell your child that they're being stupid and if you try to force them not to do something, they just want to do it all the more. A nice conversation about it talking about why you're concerned is much better, and let your child figure out their *own* way. Sure, you may have wisdom, but you didn't get that way from being *told* it was bad. You figured it out on your own. So let your child as well.
