My number-one annoyance is my friends who don’t get along with their parents. Left and right I hear “I hate my mom,” “I hate my dad,” “My parents are so stupid,” “They don’t care about me.” I think they don’t know what they’re saying!

　　What kids need to understand is that regardless of whether you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or even a best friend, your parents care about you the most. If that is hard to believe, think about this: How did you get a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, food to eat, and most of all, a place to call home?

　　If that’s not enough, let’s continue. Look in your bedroom. Where did you get all that stuff? Your bed, the clothes in the closet, the blankets that keep you warm, or all the nonessentials. I bet most of it came from your parents.

　　I’m sick of hearing how your parents do “nothing” for you. They probably do more than you do for yourself. Consider that next time you start criticizing your parents, who also gave you life.

　　So many times I have heard friends complain about their dads. “He is so over-protective – he never lets me do anything.” I simply think, at least __________. Think about kids who don’t. My father died in an accident three years ago. I’d always been “daddy’s girl,” which makes things even harder to manage.

　　So, please stop before you say “I hate,” especially if it’s about a parent, and think about those of us who aren’t lucky enough to have two caring parents.
