Parents, how would you feel if,..?

Question

If you had very little repsect for your kid, you treated them like dirt as a result and they aren't successful yet, like they are independent after high school, and then they later DO become successful and they decided to pay you back for all the c**p you put them through like gloating in your face how good they're doing now and they even point their finger in your face, maybe even poke their finger in your chest, all the while gloating, giving you some payback.

Your kid who you hated enough to ruin their lives by sending them to military school or away somewhere NOW ARE successful and give you some payback through heavy gloating.

How would that make you feel?

Answer 1

If I were the parent of that kid, I would feel like I had failed miserably at being a parent, because I raised an arrogant, stuck up brat of a child.

Answer 2

i wouldn't treat my kid like that, but i'd feel like what i did made them want to be something better.  

Answer 3

Do you need to go to family therapy?  

Answer 4

um that sucks for you. talk to you kid and tell them  you were stupid and foolish and your VERY completely sorry

Answer 5

If I was the parent I'd be like, "It's what I deserve!"

Answer 6

i don't think that's not anyway to treat the parents that raised you provided you with food,shelter and clothes on ur back for however many years then provided u with the opportunities to get where u are...i would be thankful even if they were hard on me, at least u had parents that cared how u turned out...too bad it was like that

Answer 7

If this is your plan for the future, you are not going to make your parents feel bad.

In addition, you are not going to be successful while you have that huge chip on your shoulder.
