Are/were your parents proud of you?

Are/were your parents proud of you? Does it matter to you?

My dad is not proud of me and he lets me know it. Quite a jerk. I’m not proud of my dad but I don’t let him know it.

Grandparents day was a few weeks ago, and my dad’s mom was wanting to talk to my brother and I apparently. My dad has kept me and my bro away from contact with my grandma for a couple years and now I found out why. So I guess my dad has failed to tell my grandma I divorced and apparently I am happily married and have a successful career. And apparently my brother is not gay and also is a medical professional. None of this is true and it ended up with my dad just not giving us a way to contact our grandma so his lies wouldn’t be found out.

I dont like my dad. God, he likes watching WW2 documentaries and while watching he’ll loudly comment how all the soldiers were younger than me but actually doing something with their lives. I could’ve been an Air Force officer and my dad would’ve been proud, but I couldn’t morally do that when the opportunity arose, so I said no. If I was a normie statist, he’d be proud.

My dad’s blatant shame of me does me no good. It makes me go out of my way to have minimal contact with him.

What about you? Your parents proud of you?

My mom died 8 years ago and my dad ****ed off in 1996, so I have no idea.

I like to think my ma would’ve been proud of me. She died when I was a babe. Every stranger I met who knew her has told me the same thing: she was very loving. So I try to live a life that my ma would be proud of, since I’m proud of her for the legacy she left behind for me to hear.

Yes.
And yes

Sorry to hear how your dad reacts to you.

I had a falling out with my own parents but I can say with a degree of confidence that they were the best parents when I was a kid but things went south when I turned into a teen and my cuteness wore off.

But in spite of all that I'm still very proud of my parents when I was a young kid I couldn't have thought of better guardians to have. It's just a shame that things turned out in the wrong direction at the end.

Yes, my mother and father are proud of me. Despite the fact that I dropped out of high school, earned a GED, and had a pathetic work history, my father was confident that I would amount to something. Just before I turned 30, I became a university student, earned a bachelor's degree, became a substitute teacher, and then became a full time English teacher in another country. My parents are proud of me and it matters to me because they brought me into existence, they did their duty as parents and raised me, and they have always been good to me. So, it is fitting and right that I make them proud of me.

My dad’s blatant shame of me does me no good. It makes me go out of my way to have minimal contact with him.

Is there anything that you could do with your life that does not conflict with your political views that could make your father proud of you?

 

[mangalavara]

Yes.
And yes

I love the saying in that image. It is one that resonates with me.

But in spite of all that I'm still very proud of my parents when I was a young kid I couldn't have thought of better guardians to have.

I like this and I am happy for you that your mother and father were that great.

It's just a shame that things turned out in the wrong direction at the end.

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know if you have any children, but if you do, I hope that you are proud of them and that the relations between you and them are wonderful.

Yeah, my mom was proud of me. She was only the one who loved me.

 

[Kathryn]

I flat out asked my parents because they never ever told me they were proud of me but they said they were. So I can only go by their word.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Yes they are. But they weren't so much when I was growing up.

 

[Eddi]

What about you? Your parents proud of you?

Yes but I have no idea why

Even I am not proud of myself

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Yes but I have no idea why

Even I am not proud of myself

I feel the same.

I’m not sure. Part of it is I’m mentally not all there and that restricts me from having a nice career and part of it is my dad is a jerk soo idk if I’ll ever be able to make him proud. I’m definitely never telling him I’m gay because he’d be ashamed of that. You see what I mean? A lot of the issue is with my dad himself I suppose, but it still affects me negatively.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Are/were your parents proud of you?

No. They were not, and I do not blame them. I had some good points but they were really wasted in my life.
I am proud of the achievements of my daughter and son. They have done much better than myself.

 

[Eddi]

I’m definitely never telling him I’m gay because he’d be ashamed

That must be really awful

I must be lucky

When I told my mother about me she treated it like good news

 

[LuisDantas]

Are/were your parents proud of you?

Heck, I doubt it. Hopefully they never will!

Does it matter to you?

Quite a lot. The two of them are walking disasters.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Are/were your parents proud of you?

No.

Does it matter to you?

No.

They are now.

I did well in school, and it was assumed I'd want to do "great things" and have a career and lots of money.

I didn't give a **** about any of that.

It took dad a long time to cope with that. However, he changed a lot through the years... He was not a very nice person, but changed his mindset and how he treated people.

Mom was... I don't know. She wasn't not proud, but I don't think she really thought of me all that much. She liked me, for what it was worth.

They're both proud of me now, and have both openly admitted they couldn't handle my life for a day, yet here I am. Rinse, repeat.

I did well in school but afterwards I got married and had kids, which seemed to make my parents less proud of me, but honestly, I never felt like they cared much one way or the other. They were totally absorbed with each other but not us kids. I am proud of my kids though and try to tell them pretty often.

Dad was happy when I married. Mom was not. (It wasn't personal, she just doesn't appreciate marriage.)

I guess I don't care if they're proud or not. I care for my parents, but there are people that I would seek to make proud over them.
