Hindsight is a wonderful thing but cannot change anything.  I was raised by a single mom as father died when I was 3 years old from cancer.  But during my wise years (teenage years where I truly believed that I was brighter than Einstein) I thought that she knew nothing and was a foolish woman. But much to my amazement I now realize how brilliant she actually was and find myself repeating many of her sayings etc.  Your young son is going through a difficult time in his life as he is trying to cut the apron strings a bit and yet still remain a kid at the same time.  You can certainly sit him down and let him know that you and your friends went through a lot of the same things that he is currently experiencing but if he is like majority of kids he will doubt that you can identify with his feelings. Ha!  I suppose that is why it is called the generation gap and has been around probably since the beginning of mankind.  In a couple of more years he will see that he is not fooling anyone (especially his mom) by telling untruths and/or exaggerating his stories and will come around and respect you far more than you'll ever expect.  I lived through this with 3 sons of my own and they are all young men now - aged 32, 25 and 21, and we actually are able to laugh at some of the things from the past today.  Call on him when you think he is being dishonest but realize that it's part of teenage life at the same time.  You too shall survive this part of your son aging.  Kids today are forced to age at a much more quicker rate than generations of the past.

I would pay more attention to my parents. It's hard to find out now that they have been right all those times....

My advice would be to contact a family law attorney since there are so many legalities involved, and they can help with the best wording to make sure your parents wishes are carried out.

well it really depended on the loved one was. if it was my mother or grandmother i would tell them that i love them and appreciated everything they did for me while i was growing up.\n\nIf it was my son who passed away shortly after his birth i would tell him how much i loved him and still love him, and i always wanted him and that he is in my thoughts and prayers everynight. and i wish that i had gotten to know him.

I'd spend as much time with my family, both familial and furry as I could.  Love them, hug, them and verbalize my love.  Plant flowers, swim, run if I had the energy.  \n\nIf I had the funds, I'd visit Australia (one of my dream vacations)  \n\nWhen it was the end?  I'd want all my sister, brothers, husband, children holding me.

My dad died when I was four. I have always wanted to know him. It would be like finding out about myself. I would ask him if he missed me. I would want to know his philosophy of life. I would love to just to sit and talk with him for hours. I know my dad loved to eat, so we could go eat and shoot the breeze.\nI would introduce him to my husband. I'm also going to be a momma soon. I would want him to meet his grandchild.

I would open a home for children without parents or parents who are not involved.  And then I would hope I could get government help to keep it going. That would be something I would do.

Speak to your parents. Quickly.

Please tell them what you wrote.  They should want this day to be the most wonderful day for you.  Yes most parents want a say in it and because they pay for it they expect it. But who planned their wedding???  Our parents planned ours and I regret it still many years later.  Tell them this is our day, we value your opinion and will compromise as best we can but we want it to be special for us.  Tell them you will pay for or whatever it takes.  If there are parts that you can agree on let them pay for that.

If I could go back in time and relive some of the wonderful experiences I had, I would love to do that.  But I would not want to go back and changes things, so that they would in turn change how the future is.\n\nI would love to go back and relive the first time my son picked me flowers and the first time my daughter said I love you.\n\nBut I would not want to change them ~ just cherish the moments a little longer.

Unfortunately both parents are in heaven, but my father, was more understanding, I knew he loved me dearly, he was a great father. My mother was very caring and loving, so when they were living I guess I'd have to say both. I know you said if they were living, but they still mattered at the time
