Thinking Back on Our Parents
Often times growing up I had a lot of disagreements with my parents on how they were raising me with certain rules, etc. Yet as an adult now I look back and I begun to appreciate a lot of what my parents did even when at that age I might not have enjoyed it. For example, one thing my parents would always make me do is reiterating my mistakes on my tests and problem sheets at school (even if I did relatively well on the assignment). I remember as a child I hated that and I thought it was a waste of time, but as someone who is now entering graduate school I see my habit of being thorough and looking for mistakes in my work stemmed from that leading into a good work ethic.
What are somethings you appreciate your parents did for you, even when back then you may not have enjoyed it?
@sunnyWriting4806 I appreciate that my parents never spoiled us. I hated it back then but now I know the importance of money and how to handle my finances!

Same, my father was really strict on spending habits as well, but I think it really helped me be more financially responsible now that I'm more so independent and making income on my own.
I know what you mean its like they were trying to instill morals
@Tracey12345
Right and some morals are taught early when we were kids, so often we may not have understood why they were being done back then. But now we realize that those experiences heavily influenced our morals now.
I appreciated that i had to do chores so i knew what to do when i got my own home
@Tracey12345
Doing chores was definitely big. Nowadays living in my own house I know what the importance of maintaining the house cleanliness.
