Let me start my answer with: Bwaaaaaaahhhhaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaa. Yes... I did several things that dishonored them in some way or another. When your folks pick you up at the police station, you have missed the mark on "Honor thy Father and Thy mother".... I would like to think that I made them proud far more times than I dishonored them though... Our mistakes don't define who we are, and who our parents created and raised. How we correct ourselves and move forward in a positive manner does.
-
My whole life is a disappointment to them!
-
many many many many times...
-
who hasn't?
-
Oh yeah. Several times. The great thing about parents or at least mine is they love me anyway.
-
99% of the time from the age of 11 - 19!
-
My entire existence can be connected, either directly or indirectly, to my parents' disappointment in me.
-
I have 4 sisters and out of all of them I was the rebel. I think I put them down many times as a teen. But as a adult I have changed my life around and they have told me they are very proud of who I became.
-
Only my dad. I turned out to be a huge disappointment to him because I wasn't his outdated image of a real man. One who treats their partner as a second class citizen who has no say or rights in the partnership. One who beds down as many women as he can just because he's a man and thats what real men are supposed to do. One who uses women as his personal dfoormat because that's what real men do to put women in their place so they don't get the idea that they actually have any kind of say in the relationship. I could go on but I think you get the idea of what an ass my dad was. I am hapy that I turned out nothing like him.
-
I have always tried not to.I do not like to see them sad :-)
-
Yeah , I was once winning the egg and spoon race at school when I tripped over face first into the mud just before the winning line . My parents didn't speak to me for weeks.
-
I'm sure.
-
As I'm sure I disappointed my children in one way or another.
-
I am sure that I have, but my mom saw fit not to let me know about it.
-
Continually. Nothing I do is ever good enough. Luckily for them, they have other wonderful children who do meet up with their expectations.
-
Oh yes I have...many times :(
-
absolutely what child has not???? but no matter what...they will always love you
-
I have, but they still love me. =)
-
Yes I have, many times.
-
between the ages of 13 and, um, now......continuously. But they get over it. If I'm happy with my choices, that's all that matters.
-
I guess I was a little different than most. I TRIED to do everything right, and didn't get rebellious until I was out on my own. But, I do remember one time in particular, and I felt worse than they did. My parents were on my brother again (an everyday occurrence), because he was rebel enuff for both of us. They were on him for smoking, and just ripping him up one side and down the other, when, all of the sudden, he blurts out "your PERFECT son was smoking, too"! They came over and, of course, they could smell it 10 feet away. The only thing they said was (exact words), "we are SO disappointed in you"! It wasn't long before I quit smoking.
-
EVERYBODY HAS...its a part of life.
-
I am sure I have,but I am kinda the black sheep .
-
no. i brought so much joy in their life.
-
Daily.
-
I'm just sitting at my computer in my own house after getting off of my good job, minding my own business and I am probable disappointing them as we speak :)
-
the most among 10 siblings.
-
Too many times than I can remember. Even right now its been like a grave yard here for the last 3 weeks.
-
I swear I dissappoint my narcisisstic mother every day. My father feels like he's dissappointing me, when really it's the opposite!
-
ohhhh yeah alll the time, im a pro at dissapointing my dad, he thinks im going to be a bum!! imagine that...how rude, i guess i rebel too much
-
nearly without pause for the entirety of the 80's and 90's
-
i think everyone has wheither they wanted to or not.
-
To the point my mom was going to have me put away.
-
Never......for I was the GOLDEN CHILD!!!!!!
-
Don't know, don't care.
-
When they were around..ohhh yeah..lots of times :)
-
only when I didn't win the Gold Medal in the 1972 winter olympics in Curling
-
My parents were there when I was sentenced to a year in prison. They stuck by me though. It seems like a million years ago.
-
daily
-
I disappointed my mom by not becoming a pothead and excelling in school. No, I don't have a typical home-life... My brother failed highschool (got kicked out for taking someone else's prescription medications as well, but he was never going to pass in the first place), then started smoking pot, and he's obviously the "chosen" child in my household. I wish I were lying, but I'm far from the only person who's noticed this.
-
1 of them.
-
Who hasn't?
-
Yes,but they learned to get over it!
-
yes very much soo!
-
Yes, but I think I have made up for it. At least I hope so. My parent's were never big on punishment but it was actually worse to feel their disappoinment and see my Mom cry. That just broke my heart. That is all it took to set me straight. No punishment required.
-
CONSTANTLY! My first disappointing act was being conceived, and it's been all downhill from there! They're cool parents though.
-
Yes. After spending 10 years on the honor roll at school, I dropped out of high school, took a two week first aid course, and went to work in the Canadian north west oil fields as an industrial first aid attendant. They freaked out that I would quit school, but I knew what I was doing ... I worked for 11 years, getting paid for doing nothing but waiting for accidents ... while I was sitting around waiting for accidents (I only actually worked 4 times in 11 years) I took many courses by corrispondence without telling them, then I surprised them by showing them all the courses I had been taking when I got my Ph.D. in Math ... and I also had two Bachelors degrees in Chemistry and Physics, and two Masters Degrees in Astronomy and Cosmology ...
-
My father, and I couldn't care less. My mother has unconditional love always and doesn't judge people, least of all me :)
-
As long as I'm still breathing they'll be disappointed.
-
I'm sure they have...if not, there a couple of times they should have been.
-
yes, probably more times than i know about though. Its a shame its never good for your parents to be disappointed in you.
-
dad mostly but he's so strict. It's difficult to keep him happy.
-
my parents are always disappointed in their kids...i think its themselves they are disppointed in and they take it out on us kids. I have learned to live with it and "try not" to take it too personally. As long as I am happy, I dont really care what anything thinks!!
-
Aren't all parents disappointed in their kids sooner or later
-
i asked them if i did... my dad said that i could never disappoint him and that he would always be proud of me.. my mother on the other hand started crying and hugged me real tight then said "never never".. although sometimes I feel that I did in a way or another.. God I love my parents they are really supportive I know that I sound like a person from the brady bunch but it is the truth They are an amazing couple
-
my mom NEVER my father YES
-
Yes, many times. They got revenge though, by disappointing me back. :)
-
Yes. My mother always had high expectations for me. She assumed I would accomplish what she had not. When I decided to marry and have children and finish my college education part time. She was very disappointed and has not treated me the same since. She even went as far as to tell my siblings I was weak for doing so. (None of my siblings have gone to college or even hold a job.)I have to come to terms with the fact that the closeness she and I once shared was always conditional.
-
I'm not a doctor or lawyer, so yes.
-
always when i dont attend school
-
I disappointed my parents when I picked up that smoke last year. (but then again the feeling of disappointing them, made me hurt so much, I never picked it up again)
