Just as the title says.
Were you just grounded?
No I do not hate my parents and I do not have children. Why do people always assume my posts are for topical reasons?
Because basically, a lot of your questions are always in the form of sound bites with no background or environment to consider when trying to come up with an answer that may be suitable to your requirements.
For example, do you mean the impetuous teenage immature angst that makes you hate the world for telling you to clean up your room? Or the life altering hate when you see a parent forever maltreating their partner, yourself or a sibling, or even themselves through self destructive behavior?
You often ask questions like this with the addendum " the post says it all"
Can’t blame adults for thinking that the post only says the half of it.
Oh, Jesus. Can we do one thread without making Quin’s age an issue, please?
To answer your question, no, I do not hate my parents but some people seem to think this means there’s something wrong with me. I did not speak to my bio father for 10 years but it was more about self-preservation than hate. He is back in my life and I love him, but there is no father-daughter bond there.
I had a college roommate who despised her parents for being emotionally abusive and she was constantly angry, bitter and miserable - not just about her parents, but everything.
My SIL hates her father for being emotionally abusive and emotionally distant and has not seen him in years, but I don’t see that carry over into the rest of her life the way it did with my roommate.
Alright, sorry. I don’t mean just temporary anger or annoyance but long-term hatred (for whatever reason) at your parents or children

I am certain my sisters hate my father (who has since passed). I honestly don’t think that hatred has done positive things to their lives. It’s just not healthy to carry that kind of baggage. I believe in the old saying that forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. I forgave the the old man quite a long time ago and I feel I’m much happier because of it.
I’d answer, but I don’t see why. You don’t engage in conversation (Quin), you don’t come back and say anything else. It’s a message board. That means discussion.
Anyway there’s plenty of threads around wherein I discuss my parents.
Yes. The bastard swallowed me whole. Why we never killed him, and only imprisoned him, I’ll never know.
Tragic. 
Sorry to hear that uncle. Me and my father are thick as thieves.
You’re the big Christian witnesser, Qin – so haven’t you read Luke 14:36?
:dubious:
Which version is this?
Nope. I’m estranged from a brother, but I don’t hate him. Hate takes energy and time, energy and time I’d rather use elsewhere.
Not me I loved my parents. In fact the only thing I hated was there weren’t more hours in the day, so I could’ve worked just that much harder to make their lives, a little bit easier
It’s Luke 14:26.
Hate? No.
Dislike? Yes.
I don’t hate my father; in fact I love him, in the sense that his well-being is essential to my peace of mind. But I rarely like him, and often actively dislike him.
Hate & love are not opposites.
Been listening to Aslan again eh, Skald? The lowerarchy will be very displeased.
I don’t have the Evil Hat on right now, as you may have gathered from the complete lack of being killed for your insolence.
When did Aslan ever say anything about love & hate not being opposites, anyway?
