What would you change about the way your parents raised you?
There really aren't a lot of things I would change about the way my parents raised me. I think that I grew up incredibly well. I always had everything I needed and most of the things I wanted. I would have to say that I was incredibly spoiled. I still am spoiled, for that matter.
If I had to change something, though, I would love to have had more time with my schoolmates. I never really spent a ton of time out of my room because I was always reading or playing video games or doing homework. I spent very little time with my friends because I was always afraid that my parents would say no (which was true a good majority of the time). I'm thankful that they said no when they did, but it still would've been nice to slack off and be a normal kid for once. If anything, I would love to go back and change how I acted towards my parents. I was incredibly rebellious and stubborn--traits I acquired from both of my parents.
I'm slowly getting closer to my mother. It's been hard because there has been a lot of damage. I think we're finally getting there, though. I love my mom (and my pops).
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

honest and sincere answer, indeed...
It is great that you appreciate what your parents have done for you, not a lot of people do.
So, then, you'd want your parents to discipline you more so you'd be less spoiled and more appreciative? Sweet.
Awwww
@AvenueToTheReal - I was disciplined for my entire childhood. lol... There was a point where spankings stopped, and I was just grounded. Looking back, I'd rather have been spanked than grounded. It was over in a few minutes, not a few months. lol
@krazykavumaster - You always have the best answers, my friend.
