I LOVE MY PARENTS. And I'm grateful for them and grateful to them. When I think about the sacrifices that they have to make in order for me to get to where I am now - it just brings so much "gratefulness" in me. There is no way in the world that I can ever repay my parents. My parents just recently took out a loan from their 401K to payoff my car since I'm under a car loan with a whopping 12.99% interest. Now I owe them that money - but, it's still bailout for me! At least my money is not going to waste - according to them. From changing my diaper when I was 1 month old to making sure that my money doesn't go to Ford - it's ridiculous how much my parents love me! Thank you mom and dad. Do you have parents like mine? (AND YES I'M BRAGGING!) =D

My parents were very much like that as well. Unfortunately my mom passed away 10 years ago and I miss her dearly. My father remarried and I swear his new wife is a real witch and not the good wiccan kind. My parents always went the extra mile for us kids and I appreciate them more then they will ever know,somehow I think though that my mom knows now.

Well for me my Dad whom passed away in 2006 he would have given me his last dollar no matter what. Now my mom is not like that as a matter of fact she asks me to borrow money. I am the oldest of my family and I never really depending on my mom and dad that much once I reached teenager status. I think I wanted to be indepent and I liked it that way. Take care and good for you that your mom and dad can give you want you need. happy mylotting as well.

You wanna know another funny thing about this is I own a house and have not live with them since I left for college (I was 17 at the time, I'm now 24). I'm also independent - but they offered. Like they said - at least the interest doesn't go to Ford. It goes to Mom instead (because that's how these 401K loans work, apparently). Thanks for dropping by.

I could never ever afford to do all that for my kids. I hope my kids know how much I love them even if I can't give them such bailouts.

I'm sure that your sacrifices - small or large - will be noticed and appreciated by your children. My parents are not rich - but I've seen the sacrifices and what they had to go through in order to get me this far. Even before this whole issue - they've done a lot of ridiculous stuff for me and my sibs. My mother is a nurse - when I was going to college - she worked 2 full nursing jobs - that 12 hours for 6 days! Just to make sure that I don't have to take a huge student loan and make sure that I get through college! I HIGHLY doubt that parenting is easy - you just do what you think is best for your children. I hope they appreciate you!
