Can a person be successful relying on parents all the time?

It seems to me that you have the best of both worlds.  Your attitude regarding your future is good.  The feeling of accomplishment when you make your own way without assistance is one that will stay with you for the rest of your life.  \n\nHaving a family with deep resources is a benefit that most of our society won't experience.  The fact that you are trying to succeed under your own steam will weigh in your favor with your family.  If your family is like mine, they much prefer to help someone who helps himself first.  \n\nDon't spurn the aid of your family.  It is a safety net that is extended to a lucky few.  Those that don't have it would give much to have the peace of mind that it would bring.  Be thankful that you won the lottery of birth.

Depending on the situation. When my parents are older I feel they should be the responsibilty of me and my siblings. The way I see it, they spent quite a few years looking after us, so we should do the same for them.

Tell your Mom, and this is true..on Dr. Phil he said a good parent is a parent that lets their children excercise their own judgments and lets them make their own decisions bc a good parent knows they raised them well enough to be confident that everything will be okay......\n\nHowever, if you are not about 17 than stop complaining, bc i imagine you are living rent free.

I believe that parents get wrapped up in their jobs and trying to provide for their family.  They also, sometimes, get wrapped up in their own lives.  Im afraid that I know of too many families that parents are too wrapped up in their selves to even pay attention to their children.  I dont think its right.  Parents should spend quality time getting to know their children.

GOOD POINT..\nLiving at HOME, isnt REAL life.\nGoing to school has nothing to do with real life or what sociaty IS'.\nParents are there to TEACh you(they HOPE), and for you to learn..\n\nUntill you reach 25, and have spent AT LEAST 5 years on your own, paying ALL your bills, and HAVE a job, and NO DEBT.  Your parents will not/should not acknowledge that you are a success, and THEY have done there best.\n\nYOU, are their experiment.  IF they did it ALL right, you will leave their home, and be suited to life life WITHOUT THEM, and they wont need to worry about you.

It take all sorts to make a world and what comes with water goes with the wind if you hadnt pain to get some thing so you never can find the value of that and more over how the success of parents could effect on a person if he has not the talent and abilites of his parents ?\nmaybe their wealth insure the welfare but it never could be a reason for some one to be a successful person the proof of pudding is in the eating .

'Success is the Freedom to Be Who You Are'...This is the title of one of the Chapters in the book, "Rich Kid, Smart Kid" by Robert T. Kiyosaki.  He is also the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", one of the best selling books in America for business people.   If you want to learn about success, and how to have a successful future, his is the guidance you seek.  He does a good job of explaining what real success is and how to get there. The concept of this particular book is geared towards parents helping their children achieve their full potential in life.  If, I were you, I would get it yourself, since you are interested in achieving your own potential to the fullest degree possible.  AND...Don't forget about God's plan for your life.  Ask God to show you the wonderful gifts he has placed within you!  He wants you to use them to be a blessing to mankind!  And Honor Him also with those Gifts!  He loves you more than anyone else ever will and He is always there to help you!  God Bless you in your pursuit of success and happiness!

I think success depends on planning. If you can plan for a good future and then follow those plans you should be successful. You have to set goals for yourself and push yourself to reach beyond that. If you are content with being where you are all the time you'll never be successful! You need to work hard and not skimp out on things like education. You can always go to college but when you are in your 30's it's harder because you have a lot more respondsibilities than when your just out of high school.

It needs to be done to a certain degree, you need to be careful though to ensure you do not hinder their sense of independence and worth as they grow older. You don't want to go so far as making them seem untrustworthy or irresponsible.

My growing-up years was a hard one and I’m always trying to be strong and carry on.\nMy Dad made little money and he didn’t treat my mum very well and they often quarreled since I was 3 or 4 years old. That was all the fault of my dad I was clear. My mum wept very often hiding from me but I knew that most of the time. She never thought of getting divorce with Dad forshe \nendured to avoid leaving me growing in a broken family. All those made a very miserable childhood for me. And hard time came when I was about 18 and got good grades ready to enter the gate of college. Dad barely make money and I need it to pay the tuition. During the 4 years of my \ncollege time ,my mom worked very hard for the whole family and I also did part time jobs as a tutor ,a translator and sometimes also waitress. And in the third year of my college ,my ex-boyfriend, my first love, who \nhad been with me for 7 years and stayed in New York for 5 years left me.Suffering all those, I also \nthought that God hated me and wanted to desert me and that almostpushed me to commit suicide.\nBut now I manage to lead a happy life because I'm convinced that those sufferings are good for my character and they broaden view of human inner world. Now i become optimistic and get a better understanding of 'love' to love the world and people more

First, of course it is possible.  All it takes is focus, work, and commitment. If you have those, you can do it.\n\nSecond, don't count on being female or minority as being a help.  It may, but probably not.  You will have to work your asss off in Grad school.\n\nThird, screw everyone else.  This is between you and your God, your conscious, yourself.  If you are a single parent there is another consideration - your relationship with your child.  With a good support group you can surely do it, but even without one, you can do it. \n\nThere will be sacrifices.  You will have to give up something.  Maybe straight A's, maybe some luxuries, niceties, even things you thought were essential.\n\nDrive, motivation, focus, willingness to do hard work.  With these you can surely do it, not even a question.  Without the commitment to yourself, however, you don't have a chance.

Definitely yes - just imagine the last hope of children left by their parents. \nBut this is a fragile question: God says you must love and respect your parents. I think we must meet this demand till the point of not giving ourselves up. Being a parent means such great responsibility that it's easy to develop some features of a behaviour of owners or rulers. And besides, there may be some rivalry between the ex-rulers and the more and more independent growing-up personality... Try not to forget what a lot you have been given in your childhood, but keep an eye on your independent developing peronality - and you may find the proper ballance. Terrorists are never right either fathers or sons...

A parent must be consistent. Children need the constant care and love of parents.

False!  The ability to parent effectively varies from individual-to-individual.  Furthermore, in today's world (i.e. where more women are engaged in careers) a great deal of parenting falls to the fathers.

I am a 20 year old single mother with a 3 year old, and yes honey, it can be done. I do it. I am completely self supportive, I work full time M-F 8am to 5pm, pick my daughter up from daycare immediately after I get off work at 5, take her home for dinner, bath, reading time, playing..etc, and when she goes to bed and I am sure she's asleep, I log on and do online classes. I wake up at 5:00 every morning just to do it all over again..so yes, it's possible.

I expect you are talking about a teenager or a few years beyond that.  \n\nThere are certain points in our lives where we need to become more independent, where we have to get out on our own - try new things, new personalities, new perspectives on life.  And make mistakes, our own mistakes, ones we can learn from.  No one's parents, no matter how good, can do that for us.\n\nShe needs some space to learn to become the best she that she can.  Supportive parents would not answer all her problems, but let her know that they trust her to resolve them herself and are there for her if and when she needs them.\n\nRemember, it's a temporary phase, but a necessary one, if she's going to be independent and self-reliant in her life.  It's like the phase a two year old goes through when he changes from being a baby to a "little person." He says "I can do it myself" a whole lot and he falls down and drops things and makes all kinds of mistakes.  You can't take those mistakes away form him or he'll never learn and grow.\n\nThe same with the teenage years.  \n\nRemember, she is a good, compassionate person, with a good, solid background from her parents.  Just give her some room to grow, and you'll be really happy with the results.\n\nFrom a mother, now a grandmother, who raised 4 teenagers through those years, and now has 4 very wonderful, responsible grown children.

It's all on me, baby! Sometimes I blame my parents for the way the raised me, but for the most part I take responsibility for my problems. I usually chalk it up to inexperience. Life doesn't come with an instruction manual.
