it came into a realization one day, i ask myself, will our life be different if my parents plan their future first before getting married? can i go to college as well as my siblings if they plan their future well? i've experienced ups and downs with our family and i have a lot of questions to ask them why we are not fortunate enough to experience the life what others are longing as well, but i know my parents tried really hard to sustain our needs not financially but by every hardships they went through just to provide food in every meal, though we don't have any, but my parents made sure that we don't die of starvation. now, i know, i shouldn't blame them if they don't send me to college and buy material things but i know for sure that their love is enough for me to send me to where i am now. i love my mom and my dad (RIP)no matter what....

So sad to hear. in my case, my mom really was the one who brought me up. she is more than ready to send me to college. it's just that i was the one who screwed up. so it is not our parents to be blamed for what is going on with our lives because we have a decision to make once we are mature enough to think what we want to do with our lives. but i straighten my life this year by enduring the hardships of finishing college and earning up a degree. i am still glad that i have pushed myself to that limit!

Yes, of course, we cannot blame our parents for what we are now because they are the one who made us. without them we are nothing in this world and instead of blaming them we just glad that they give us chance to live in this world right? For me, I didn't blame my parents because I love them.

your lucky enough that your parent is always there for you.In a happy family a child knows that his father and mother will take care of the children.there responsibility no matter what and support one another and the time of hardship everyone should cooperate and no one to be blame for the crisis that's been happening never question what they do and blame for they are doing whats best for everyone.

Never to blame our dear parents.vice versa,we must love and take responsibility fealty to them we grow up.It is not easy to take care with their children,and they must hardly work to earn more money to apply a change that let children educate school from elementary school to college under the pressure of rapid living standard. My parents are the best great ones in my heart.They try their best to let my brother and me get a good education,regardless they are farmer only but despend on pinching and scraping everything.

every parent would want their children to succeed in anything. When children get into trouble, the parent try to help. Parent would be happy if their children succeed.

Hi, I love my parents alot and I am very happy to be born in their family,as one of their daughter. I am having a good life during my childhood. MY parents will give the best for me and I am quite fortunate being grow up by my parents. Even now, my parents still love me alot and care about me. And they even love my son too. I have been away from home since 15 years ago. I was in abroad now,but I always try my best to visit my parents back at my hometown once a year. When they are free, they will come to visit me too. I love you always,Mom & dad !!!

We shouldn't blame our parents. Wherever we are standing right now, the major credit is deserved by our parents. If they were not helping us we couldn't reach so easily. Whenever we need something since birth we got most by our parents. They always try their best to give despite their financial position, ability and so on. They always want to see us happy and achieve success in the life. They are the only people we can trust as they won't let us down ever. We must thank our parents sometimes and admit that despite their helps and so on we couldn't reach the height we have achieved till date. We are indebted to them and must not disobey them. We always look after them and ask for any needs they want. I love my parents a lot. I want them be happy always! A happy home!

Don't blame your parents for the financial misfortunes that your family is currently experiencing. You cannot entirely say so that they never did plan their future well. They might have. You just might not have known it though. They tried their best, I'm sure. It's just that it didn't work out well. Their best probably was just not good enough. They never were bad parents as you've said. It's just that they lack the capabilities of being able to earn much to provide you with all your needs. Maybe your parents were also born from poor parents too. Poverty is a chain. If your family is into it, it is very difficult to break out from that chain. It tends to pass on from generation to generation. If you are aware of it, try to break out from that chain of poverty. Strive hard to be different from what your parents have been. Initiate your own destiny. Don't just point a finger on somebody to find an excuse for your own misfortunes. Be the one to start your own next generation of successful family lineage.

Everything happens for a purpose,..you and your family is being just put in the test of faith, so don't judge your parents for the life they choose to lived with, cause you are definitely not in the position to do that. Without our parents we wouldn't see the beauty of life, you can say to me that what is beautiful with your life, let's just say that some of this are the good memories you've had with your special ones in life. The great experience that you encounter and able to share with others that might inspire them. I also wish that one of the things you realize is that the role of a parent is not an easy thing to live with. Love and obey your parents my dear.

I have always been one to believe that no one has to remain a victim of circumstance. True, some of us are born into a life that is "slightly" disadvantaged compared to others, but I believe we only become victims for as long as we allow it. I don't have the best life right now...nothing I had planned 10 years ago has materialized, and I have no one else to blame but me.
