What do you, as "kids" expect from your parents.

Do you expect food, shelter and clean clothes every week? And that's it.
You missed the biggie: unconditional love.
I don't expect them to do anything if I behave in an unfavourable way and really mess them up or something. Basicially I'd expect them to be nice to me as long as I was nice to them.

My parents have done all that stuff and more so I have come to expect it and will do the same when I have kids. You can only go by your own experiences. Someone whose parents never did anything much for them probably wouldn't expect much.

I expect them to love me if I love them back. I don't tell my parents any of my problems and wouldn't want them to know at all.
I think the most important thing that any parent could give you is love. If they love you, then nothign else matters, cause everything will fall into place. If someone loves somebody else they are willing to do anything for that person. I read a quote once that really hit me:

The most important thing a father could do for his children is to love his wife.

This really what life is all about. If a father loves his wife, then the kids will realise what is imporant in life. Not money, not power, not popularity, its being with and caring for the ones that are closest to you.

I don't usually make these kind of posts.

Anyway,
I don't know what else to say. Just reply if you want.

I expect food, shelter and clean clothes, and that's it, but only while I'm too young to get it myself. I don't expect to be shown love because whereas they may well love me I have never been shown any of this except through them occasionally giving me things, which I don't see as love. I don't expect them to help out with my problems, in fact I would expect them to support me in the best way possible when I have problems - to back off and let me deal with them with the person or people concerned myself in my own way. Just like if I have a problem with them I will sort it out with them instead of getting gangs of friends round to shout at them - in the same way, if I have a problem with a teacher or my friends, I expect them to go away while I speak to them myself, or if I have a personal problem I will speak to whoever I feel like about it, mostly not including them at all.

When I move out I will not so much break off contact with them but I will be as independent as possible. I need to stay at home between terms/semesters at uni, but I will probably have a job and so on. Then after uni I'm going to be independent... completely. End.

Hopefully.
