When I was younger there would be times that I remember thinking how mean my parents were and how I couldn't wait to grow up and get out from under their roof. It seems like lately these thoughts are coming back to my attention and i' m realizing how wrong I was for even thinking those thoughts about my parents. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how annoying, frustrating, mean, unfair, or disappointing our parents can seem as you grow up you suddenly see that really the choices they made were to keep you out of trouble, show you that they love you, take care of you, or make sure that you learned your lesson. I have also figured out that it is extremely annoying to find out that your parents were right at one time or another. Frustrating as they can make me my parents are pretty great. They have always told me they love me, they have helped me when I have been in really tight spots, they have supported me, they have laughed with me and they have been there for every holiday, birthday, and special occasion. Really as someone's child and not yet a parent myself I think now looking back at the years that my parents '' didn't understand me'' they understood me more than I understood myself. I wish that everyone had the chance to experience life with a family as amazing as mine. I' m not saying my family is perfect or my parents are better than anyone... but i am saying that I Love them more than anything and I am so blessed and happy.
