sorry, but i feel obliged to LOL at this.
one stupid comment
and you think everyones like this?
okay, i dont mean to be rude, but
"i know personally, that mothers and fathers go through alot of stress, and anxiety, making sure their children grow up to be well rounded, healthy people"
and to say "my generation" like your speaking for the whole of us..

well i've actually had to do some of the things my parents should be doing for me - mop up the tears, standing up for them when theres a threat, advising them, telling them when to stop and holding their sham of a marriage together for their and the sakes of my brother and sister.
you say they only have to put up with us and i mean, thats great
but what about us who have to put up with them
so many times ive just wanted to walk out, just not have to care,
which kinda shows your whole "oh no kids EVER care for what their parents do". i for one have always shown my apprecaition, as have, well, pretty much everyone my age i know, to my knowledge.
so please, before you start saying this whole generation is completely superficial,
have a thought to those who arent.
