Plucky Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I did. My parents were permissive hippies. Do what I want and feel like but wait not that! LOL Â My dh was a preacher's kid. Oh, yes, he disappointed them. He was and is the black sheep. Â Okay, my mom still wishes I went the career woman route but she admires my parenting skills - shocking. Â Dh's parent are concerned about our salvation since we changed denominations. Oh, the horror. Â But we are doing alright and have great kids. Oldest is going away to college soon. I think he's perfect but he's not and I don't want to share the ways he's disappointed us. My dh has actually cried and so has ds. But guess what? Kids are going to make mistakes. That is a given. I don't expect perfection. We love our kids unconditionally. And so some will make bigger mistakes than others. Homeschooling is not a magic formula.

PeacefulChaos Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think my grandparents were a little disappointed that I a1. got married at 18 ; a2. to my boyfriend of (from first date to wedding day) 9 months. No, I didn't know him at all before that. :D I don't know if disappointed is the right word - worried, maybe? Idk... I think they were a bit disappointed that I didn't finish college, but the fact is that I went based on what others thought I should do. I'm glad I went (met DH there) but I'm also glad I didn't waste my time and money any further. :) Lastly, I think they were a little disappointed when we moved 17 hours away. Â All these things were 10-11 years ago. (11th anniversary is in a couple of weeks) Now, they aren't disappointed in me at all. I know they're proud of me, they love DH, and they adore our kids. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I don't know. They've never expressed their disappointment. They've never expressed their approval either. We interact ;) but not in a report card sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghee Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have. I disappointed my mom when I didn't go to college, most of my family when I didn't go into education. I disappointed her when I got married young, had more than one kid....LOL I'm pretty sure I've disappointed her more than I've made her proud. We are extremely different people, but I love her and she loves me (we just feel like choking each other fairly often.) Â I disappointed my dad because I chose not to live with or go to visit him after he and my mom divorced. He was emotionally abusive, which I can trace back to his own childhood abuse and insecurities from that, but when I was little I couldn't process that and I just knew I didn't enjoy being with him. Â I've been disappointed in my own kids. Nothing HUGE, just little things when I realized they weren't going to be mini-me's ;) I got over it :) and have found things to be proud of them.

Sometimes, when I've been super disappointing, there are eye rolls. It used to bother me a lot. Now, I sort of find it comical. I don't disappoint her on purpose, but I can laugh it off when I have.

Audrey Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 My dad wanted me to be a lawyer. I even took the LSAT just to appease him. I got a nearly perfect score. I had already been accepted to my doctoral program in Fine Arts History, though, and I went and did that. Up until he died, he never stopped telling people how I got nearly perfect LSATs, but never became a lawyer. He never specifically said he was disappointed, but it wasn't too hard to decipher. Â My mom, on the other hand, never said any more than that she wanted me to be happy with myself and my life. I am now, so I think she'd be proud if she were still here.

I don't mind that, in fact, it has been helpful to the kids as they become teens because boundaries are clearly drawn and rules are clearly stated (and everyone knows that breaking the rules means everyone gets mad at you.)

Dory Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yep I did numerous times, and my mom was always plenty vocal about it. As a teenager, the only time I regretted it was when my mom actually cried because she didn't know what to do when she found out I was sleeping around. Which as an adult looking back, if that had been my kid I would've been pressing charges against the creeps who were ok with sleeping with a 14 year old. Â As an adult, she is very disappointed in me in more way than what could be listed here. We have managed over the last couple years to put some guidelines into place so that she can have a relationship with my kids though. Â I guess really I always thought of it as having no real impact on me. She has disappointed me a lot throughout life as well. She has rarely been the mom I needed or wanted so I'm not really surprised I wasn't the daughter she wanted either. Â My dad hasn't expressed disappointment in me since I was 10.

Night Elf Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 No, but then again my mom didn't have big dreams for me. She wanted me to graduate high school, get a clerical job, get married, and have kids. Well, the closest thing to a big dream she had was that I could be a SAHM, so she was over the moon happy when I was able to quit work and stay home. She was also extremely happy when I started homeschooling. According to her, I'm living life large! :) Â I was worried she would be disappointed that dd14 is going to high school but she said that it was good I had so many years with her home and I probably gave her a good foundation to be successful in school.

Crimson Wife Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I didn't go to medical school or any other grad school and became an Army wife two weeks after I graduated college at a month shy of 22 y.o.

mathwonk Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) When I started raising my kids I had plans for their lives. Many years later a colleague amazed me by his wisdom at merely wanting to help his kids realize their own dreams instead of his.  I presume his kids were less likely to disappoint him than mine were. "Too soon old, too late smart." But nobody's perfect! (Just ask my kids.)\  Cut yourself and your parents, some slack. We are probably doing the best we can. My father was hard on me but he showed me a good example of caring for my mom. He didn't know any better how to raise kids. So I try to take the good and leave the bad. Apologies for giving advice to wiser people. You guys are very wonderful.  One of my ancestors, a founder of the quaker movement, wrote a beautiful sonnet, beginning: "There is a spirit which I feel, that delights to do no evil, nor to revenge any wrong".  http://www.strecorsoc.org/docs/naylor.html   I don'y really have this spirit, but I like it.

Pink Fairy Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm sure I did as a kid, but as an adult my parents are very respectful of my choices. They don't criticize me, ever--and I'm sure they could have because I am far from perfect. We are very close, and I hope that someday I'll be the kind of mom to my adult kids that my mom is to me.

mathwonk Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Again I go out on a limb here. Parents are the world's experts at pushing their children's buttons. If they have not yet learned to back off and support the child's dreams as opposed to their own, they are really hard to deal with. After all, we are still trying to be the good child. At some point (for me it was about age 50 or 60) we need to take control of our lives, and stop letting them define our success. A few lucky people have parents who are delighted when their children are happy, as opposed to rich and famous. I think many of those parents are represented here.

Alphabetika Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I know I must have disappointed them in many ways through my life, especially my dad, who was essentially impossible to please, though he definitely loved me.

Kathryn Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 My father has "mentioned" many times his disappointment that I didn't go to Brown (family tradition) or the seminary my family has been associated with for hundreds of years. But, considering he left before I was born, I had absolutely no financial help, and had to drop out of high school due to illness, I wasn't all that concerned about his disappointment.

Dobela Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think that everything I have ever done has disappointed my mother in some way.

Impish Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Frankly, I can't think of anything that HASN'T disappointed my mother. Â I was supposed to have been a Dr or lawyer. Ended up a single mom for 10 yrs, worked as a nursing attendant (Imp changes OLD MAN BUTT! ~ direct quote), moved across country, met and married Wolf, had more kids, etc, etc, etc. Â I'm too fat. Not $$$ successful. Have my own mind, opinions, rather than letting her run my life. I've 'wasted' my intelligence. Â Wolf's been told flat out that MIL considers herself a failure as a mother b/c he's not a pastor in her church. He doesn't even ATTEND her church, refused to be baptised in it, but apparently the bench mark of her success was for him to be a pastor. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdalley Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm not sure I disappointed my Dad. I don't think I did ultimately. I think he was pretty happy if I was happy. He was a very shy man and since he and Mom split up when I was young and didn't have a real relationship at all until I was an adult I really can't say. I know he loved my husband and his grandkids and was very proud of me for being a good wife and mother. Â I could never please my mother for any length of time. We were polar opposites really. I quit feeling bad about it awhile back - before she passed on. Anyway I had my grandmother to counter balance. Â I'm sure the kid's behavior will disappoint me - and has - but I want them to be what they want to be - not what I or anyone else thinks they should be. I'm sure I have and will disappoint them as well. Â I heard a line in a movie that I liked quite a bit about this. 'I know you're disappointed in me.' 'No, I'm disappointed FOR you.'

ChristyB in TN Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I am constantly disappointing my mother.

I married young, to a good man, had children young, was able to stay home and care for them. She got pregnant, then married my dad because she was 'forced' to, then divorced 18 months later. Then she went on to marry every abusive alcoholic from Texas to Washington. So, yeah, My life was golden comparatively.  My dad always tells me how proud he is of me and is a very active part of mine and my children's lives.

EducationX2 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 In the little things- sure. Â But luckily, when it came to the big things, no, my parents weren't the type to get disappointed. And boy, were there some big things. :lol: Instead, they just accepted my mistakes, and most importantly, kept on loving me just the same. When I was single and pregnant at 19, never one time did they express even an ounce of disappointment. From the first second, they were both happy and excited about the upcoming birth of their granddaughter. Â When my Dad was dying from cancer, he told me that he was proud of the woman I had become. He was proud of everything I had accomplished in school, proud of the mother I was to my daughter, and proud of the kind of person I was. And made me promise to keep going, and do what made me happy in life. :001_wub: That was the best "inheritance" he could have ever given me.
