Things you wish your parents did...

I wish my parents had given me more concrete guidance when it came to things like figuring out what I'm good at and pursuing it. In retrospect, I think they were so committed to not pushing me in any one direction that they went too far the other way and left me without any direction. I got to college, had no idea what I wanted to do with it, and never finished.

Made my fat ass diet and/or not bought so much junk food.

I don't blame them for my being overweight, but it'd be really helpful if they didn't fill the cupboard with temptation.

[up][up]The exact same thing happen to me. It's painful to even think how much I floundered because of it. It doesn't help that you feel like an ungrateful ass at the end of it.

I wish my parents had gotten a divorce like...a decade ago. I also wish that my mother had gone back to Russia, like she kept threatening.

Did I mention how much I was sheltered? Because I was.

[up]You were not alone on that one. I too was sheltered. One more thing I wished I didn't suffer from family.

I'll admit, there's far worse things than to be too sheltered, in that at least I had a safe and reasonably well taken care of upbringing...but dear Lord did I never learn how to socialize normally. I'm convinced that the times that I manage to make any connection with anyone are all flukes, since I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing most of the time in that department. Couple that with a dearth of necessary street smarts (though I feel like I have learned plenty there, or at least know of what to keep an eye out for even if I haven't personally experienced it), and you've got a recipe for being Unprepared For the Real World(TM).
