I admit at one point of my life i made my mom so disappointed with me... i became rebellious but not the point of getting into drugs or what. She always tells me that i dont love them the way i act and the way i treat them. Im trying my best to earn the trust and good thing i did. How about you? the worst thing that you've done with your parents?

Hi there! I have disappointed my mother a lot of times before when I was younger but the major disappointment was when I got married without being able to finish my studies. I am one year away from graduation when I got married. I came from a broken family and me and my three sisters lived with my mom, me just for a couple of years since I lived with my grandmnother most of the time. I promised my mother that I will finish my studies first, then work and helped her with my younger sisters' education. But then I got married and up to now, I haven't finished my studies but I was happy to regain her love and trust and even gave her real happiness when my son, her first grandchild was born.

well it really sounds disappointing, but you know what i have a cousin who just turned 18 and got pregnant his father was really mad at that time and even wanted to abort the child inside her. But after she gave birth, his father was so happy that he cant even let other touch or carry the baby haha.

Jamian, that's sad, but I bet your mother isn't dissapointed in you. I bet she loves you very much and you her.

I probably did many things to disappoint my mom, but overall, I turned out okay and so I choose to look at the big picture instead of picking out any mistakes I made along the way. The important thing is I learned from my mistakes and grew as a person. As a result, my mother is proud of that fact instead of dwelling on any way I may have disappointed her.

Your absolutely right. We can't bring back the past. We have to learn from our mistakes. Your parents must be very proud of you.

I feel ashamed to say yes, I did disappoint my mum now and again. It's not that I am rebellious but that I'm not patient enough to accompany her most of the time. I prefer to stay alone with my own interest like mylot or my own work instead of watching TV with her or chat with her which she would like to do very much. I easily lose patience and withdraw to my study room to enjoy my time.

i think the worst thing that i've done to my parents is that i put them into debt.. i get involved in this online thingy.. and now it really takes me some time to solve it.. i think it's okay.. since i will help to solve this problem.. they send me to college hoping that i will study hard and become someone useful.. but.. i use the borrowed money from government to invest in this online investment.. now i'm in debt because many investment went down.. i think i really dissapoint them.. but i havent' tell them the truth yet..do you think i should tell them the truth?

Well that happened to me as well, i put them into debt. And since i hate my father at that time i even spend his money to nothing, I feel ashamed and i realized that what i did was wrong. I think that would be better to tell your parents about that, they will get mad but they'll surely understand. Just show them that you're sincere and wanted to help solve the problem...

Searching my memory, the worst thing I ever did to my father when I was a teen was a very rude word I said to him,which made my father very angry with me, when my father ordered me to do something I didn't want to. My father always ordered us to do things, but as I grew up, I refused to do accordingly. That was a time when I was very rebellious. Thinking of this, it makes laugh a lot. If my son said such a word to me, I had no idea what I would think about it. I have been a very good-tempered person since I became a high school student. That was the only time I did bad to my father. Of course, my father loves us and I love him as well.

My father is also strict and i hate him for that. that was during my high school days. He wanted me to do this... do that... and all but i refused to. He was mad at me all the time. But when he moved away to worked he just realized that somehow he's wrong for treating me so bad. He even asked me "am i a good father to you?" then i just cried and said "no..." bcoz at that time my mom was the only one who works for us and for me to continue my studies...he dont even know the word SACRIFICE b4. everything was changed and its for good. thanks for the response... ^__^

You are welcome. I am very happy that your father has realised that and is now treating you well as a good father is supposed to.

yeah friend..the topic you have chosen for discussion is good and is not an unique thing to happen only at some place..it's a thing(influence) which makes the child and mom's relation..no one in this world have come across without disappointing their mom.. so,i'm also not a perfect human for not disappointing my mom..but,she won't expect for the sorries and excuses..

its not really the worst thing but i disappointed my parents especially my mother when i get married at an early age without helping them about our daily life. I do regret it now but not having a wonderful daughter beside me everyday. I just strive hard to earn some cash and help me them soon as I help myself.

Oh...it seem so sad to you... :( But my oppinion is just keep on trying your best to get the trust.I believe that one day your will get what you want. About me,the worst thing that i've done with my parents is i keep on failed my exam,i made them feel so dissapointed. When the first time i failed my exam,my father had stop to support me for my study,but i dont want to give up. But i do know is because of my brother.....n home financial problem,so my father will made this dicision. I nvr blame my dad. Now my mother is supporting me for my study,but i do use my account money too. Although is my account money,but i do know is given by my father also. Now i just trying my best for my study. Hope wont dissapoint my parents again.

I think I may have been a perpetual disappointment to my parents. LOL I think we all disappoint our parents at one time or another-or two-or three-hmm. Maybe as human beings, we are doomed to disappoint one another at times. My parents were unaware of most of my activities-fortunately. That's probably the worst thing I did to them. The secrecy and deception part. They knew I was no angel-but they didn't have a clue to the "real" me. Rebellion is natural-it comes to every generation twice. Once as young adults and then as the older generation-or parents. Be thankful for your parents love and make sure they know you love them-no matter what happens between you. Always be sure of the love.

Hi kcrysea! When i look back to my past i am not very happy the way i have treated my Mom. Manyatimes i have taken her for granted and treated her like dirt. I have hit her, spit food on her, told innumerous lies and the list is long.I know i had been a disappointment for her. I cannot undo what i did because my Mom is no more now. She passed away because of Cancer almost 10 years back.

To became rebellious is normal in someones life when their way and interests cross over the mom's plans for her doter/son so don't bother it is natural.. you have your way of seeing the world and your parent the other.. be patient and clear your way out.
