You obviously haven't met my mother. Every time I see my mom these days she's asking for money for drugs or is too busy wrapped in her phone to have a conversation.
And I know plenty other people whose love for their parents far outweighs the love their parents show in return. Mother's Day is always a slog for me as I internally sort my desire for respect and sense of humanitarian duty.
- pupppet 7y agoOof that's harsh, sorry you got a dud.
- tw04 7y agoIndeed. There are absolutely parents who match his description but to say that's every parent is more than a bit of a stretch.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoIt's definitely not every parent nor is it even almost every parent. I would say it's the majority though, as in over 50% for sure.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoOf course there are exceptions. But the general rule stands. I say the above from anecdotal experience from my parents and other parents I know, and from quotations I hear from people actually living in prison. I guess drugs throw off all the priorities, because in the end the actual mechanism that triggers love is in itself a chemical/drug as well.
- soulofmischief 7y agoIf you're making a general rule, I would refrain from using absolutisms like "never" which alienate the outliers like myself and invalidate your statement. It's deeper than drugs. The drug problem is a symptom of the greater problem: selfishness and complete lack of responsibility.
