When was the last time you thanked your parents or guardians for raising you?

I never did it. First of all because it wasn't my choice to be born. That was their decision..and honestly, because that's your responsibility as a parent....

I don’t say it enough but I do demonstrate it through my actions. I know they are happy with me as a daughter because I have heard them tell others. I know, much like Cloudy, that they sacrificed a lot for their families. It’s my OBLIGATION to pay them in kind. .

I always show my mom my gratitude. She did such a great job. Literally left everything she knew behind to start a life in a new country where she neither knew the language nor had any relatives because she knew her children would have no future back home (She was my age when this happened). I cannot imagine going through that stress and still being present and involved with my child (in her case children). Damn… I get testy in the mornings if I’m running late … can’t imagine how I’d deal with what my mom went through.

Never because they don't deserve it. You don't get credit just for fucking and having a kid. Being a good or decent parent requires more than just simply reproducing.

Never. They royally fucked me up and made my life a living hell. Even if they didn't, life on this planet is still suffering and it's selfish to have children.

I never thanked for raising me. I was not totally happy about my upbringing but I know my parents did what they could. As guardians they were beyond doubt famous. And I had more than once reason to thank them for support against adversaries.
