As we grow up, sometimes it seems like we have different opinions than our parents. We are so tied up in getting older and making our own decisions, and we often forget that our parent’s just love us. Perhaps we need to appreciate our parents more often. Here are 12 reasons why your parents aren’t as bad as you might think.
12. They only want what is best for you
And your parent’s almost always know best.
11. You wouldn’t be a thing if it weren’t for them
It’s weird to think about, but it’s true. If it weren’t for that special sperm and egg, you wouldn’t be reading this article.
10. Regardless of whether you want to admit it or not, they have taught you lessons that you will thank them for your entire life
My parents taught me to always walk with my head up high and have a smile on my face even when I feel defeated. Sometimes it is difficult to do, but it is definitely one of the best pieces of advice I have ever been given.
9. They love you unconditionally
So don’t pull away when your mom and dad give you some extra TLC. They only want to show you how much they love you.
8. When you are hurt, they are probably hurting, too
They might not show it, but they most definitely feel it. You might be crying on the outside, and they are crying for you on the inside.
7. They are right there with you through thick and thin
You come home crying. Even when they told you not do something and you did it anyways, they still are there to comfort you without an I told you so (well, the I told you so is probably coming eventually…). They are also there through positive times and they are your personal cheerleaders.
