Lucky. Being close to one parent is better than being close to none. My mom is to impatient and my dad jokes around to much. I guess that is one reason I mainly turn to my cousins and friends and why we are so close.

I have a really awesome relationship with my mom and I can tlak to her about everything and she'll support me in everything I do but my dad we just never really got close

Thats explains alot of it.

I know what you mean Phantom. My mom goes through pissy stages for like 3 months then she's cool and my dad drinks alot and thats embarassing when people come over. My dad is a constant but my mom's cycle has been like this for like 2 years.

It depends on my grades. And what I've done lately. As of Now, my parents do not suck. But they did about a month ago. It's a cycle.

So in answer to your question: No not all. And Espeacially not mine!

You don't know that they do that.

Everyone has a right to say that their parents suck. Whether or not they are justified does not take away theirright to say so.

no, now stop bothering me

It's really rude, not to mention completely ungrateful to say your parents suck. They put a roof over your head, pay for you, and care for you as you grow up. Get your head out of the gutter and start appreciation people. Just because they don't let you out after nine or don't let you have donuts in the house doesn't mean they suck. Seriously.

My mom and I are really close. My dad is an idiot most of the time.

Im not sure that everyone's parents suck. Mine do, though at least. Well, my dad. My mom is amazing. My dad is just a plain jerk.

Mine seemed to suck. At the time. Sometimes they (mostly meh dad) will when I'm there for a while on vacation.

i feel sorry for people whos parents do suck, because mine rock!

That's hardly good advice at all, doctor.

iluv, you should talk to someone about it. perhaps a teacher or adult friend? I don't know what you mean by abuse, but if it is serious, you need to get out of that situation.

Perhaps you should do something to make them notice you? Like, shave your head, burn the house down, or pretend to hang yourself?

It depends on your reasoning for believe that they "suck" Some parents do things because they're looking out for you and want you to make the right decisions and do things that aren't harmful to yourself. You have to look at it from a parents perspective every now and then. Though, there are some parents that shouldn't be parents.

I agree 100% with risika

You know FML, I'm really getting sick of your stupid bull****. I may have problems, but at least I don't talk about how much better I am than everyone else. I sincerely hope your father sends you off to law school instead of med school. Seriously, show some respect. Yes FML, we do appreciate our parents. But most of us have the same moto. Give respect:get respect. And apparently, a lot of us don't get respect from our parents. You are so egotistical it's not even funny. I've never seen anyone in my life with as much arrogance and imprudence. Good luck finding what you seek to know about the "middle class".

Not all parents suck, and you will rarely find parents that are excellent either. You have to take the good with the bad and hope that you get your best with what you've got. No parents are perfect and some are bad, but you get what you got and unless they do serious harm they are trying their best.
