Have your parents been honest with you about your conception?

Why are yall asking your parents about how you were born
In my family there's little filter. We saw some shyt on TV about birth control & my mom will say she doesn't trust birth control cause I was born. It wasn't a personal attack but we say fukked up shyt as casual conversation.
Can't speak for everyone else, but knowing that I not only wasn't planned, but they also stayed together because of me fukked young me up.

I always felt like a burden, and even though my father always made sure I knew he loved me and was happy to be my father, I always thought that maybe they both would've been happier if I wasn't around.
I wonder if this bothers my kids now. They not only know I don't love their mom, but I only stayed with her so long because of them. Straight told them if they weren't born I woulda left her.

Things like this is what made me ask. Another thread about Death made me think of this.

My mom was actually on birth control to avoid getting pregnant & God was like :troll:. I wasn't planned or supposed to live, by either parent.

I was a "miracle baby" & finding out I wasn't intended to be born made me more numb to the idea of dying in a world I wasn't actually wanted in to begin with.

My parents actively tried to prevent my birth. That is a fukked up feeling. My mom did her best for me once I came, but the knowledge she tried to not even have me? :wow:
Black man/women is god:ohhh:

Accountability + respect checks, which are largely missing in society at the moment. Don't you dare fukking get self righteous or demean the way I live life, my goals, objectives, etc. and tell me where I'm fukking up if you had the nerve to make a whole nikka (in this theoretical, me) by accident. If I was made under those circumstances and my parents were anything but giving me their best, long story short I'd be a troubled youth.
:birdman:

I feel you. It's like we shouldn't feel guilty, but we still got that floating over our heads. I'm glad my parents have high expectations for me. It's good to have people that believe in you, but sometimes I wonder if I turned out to be the son they wanted. They always wanted me to be at the top of my class. I was an A B student, but I probably could have been valedictorian if I really tried in school. I just too focused on making music. I'm not as good as I want to be, but I feel like I'm too close to give up on it. It's the only thing that makes me feel "awake". I'm just kinda meh towards most stuff in life. I think that's why I get so lost in it. I feel that my parents are legit proud of me, but my parents always tell be to be the BEST I can be. I know it's because they want me to be successful, but I'm scared that deep down they just have learned to settle.

Another thing I've come to realize is how hard it much have been for my folks to raise me and my siblings. They didn't really have an example of everything to do, so I respect them for that. My grandparents on my mom's side split up, and my other grandfather died while my dad was around thirteen. It's stuff I've known since I was a kid, but I guess growing older makes you really take a step back on things. It's stuff that made me mad growing up that I realize was them trying to figure stuff out.

Aye breh, your entire post applies to me breh and describes my childhood, as well as a TON of kids of immigrants of various backgrounds (idk if you are or not). Only thing I don't have is a passion, (which sucks but it be like that sometimes). My parents were overly strict due to a lack of an example/template to follow (ie. no sleepovers, trick or treating, parties, not celebrating unnecessary holidays, not buying many gifts) while I was growing up. Granted they did account for things I would have probably done at some of those parties, when I asked why I couldn't go, my dad would always say "What's at the parties, huh? Alcohol and women and those two with boys your age will only lead to sex, are you ready for a kid?". I thought he was putting sauce on it but maaaan retrospectively that could of happened and if I had been introduced to alcohol too early my life would more likely than not lead to me being substantially far worse than where I am now. On the other hand some social experiences I wasn't permitted to go to like birthday parties, made me have to essentially learn some aspects of socializing by trial and error. While there are several gripes/grievances I have, ultimately I know given what they had to work with, they get an A- from me and I'm thankful.

Double edged sword breh, your kids will probably have a better sense of reality than their contemporaries (like me and bro did growing up). That allows you to sidestep maaaaaaad BS in your life, they'll be able to read people well, because you're transparent which is great. The converse is that they'll feel a sense burden like they have to become something notable ie. pushing near 6 figs by 40 at the least, or they weren't worth it, and they'll be jaded towards relationships or messy with them. It's kind of a crapshoot on whether they'll have kids under similar circumstances as you did, or if they'll strive to be as conventional as possible. I know I want exactly what my parents have an enduring marriage (preferably with 2 boys), but I don't want kids if I can't have them with a woman Iove and live the rest of my life with. Granted that means I'm more likely than not team die alone, but it's like that. My brother on the other hand really wants kids and essentially told me if he never finds someone he wants, he'll either settle or have a bm. shyt is complex mayne.

Actually reading & having time to think, this is some really deep shyt breh. I have 2 grandkids & now I wonder if my daughter is doing what I did cause certain people say he being a lazy fukk boy now. But I know my daughter won't tell me the whole story, she'll tone it down so I don't trip. My son girl live with us & we got her a job & she in cosmetology school. He's the oldest & knows he's the only reason I stayed with their mom. I think he really loves her though & it's not the same shyt.

Parents can build you or destroy you.

I play electric guitar and bass. I'm better at guitar though. At playing and with coming up with stuff. I wanna make all types of music, but I mostly like funk and rock. I'mma try to do something like Parliament-Funkadelic, D'Angelo, Prince and stuff like that. I like how they all had huge bands and blended all those different styles together. I try to learn something from every genre because each inspires me in different ways. I wanna piece it all together to make stuff that don't sound like anything else.

I gotta bunch of different ideas and concepts floating around in my head. I don't just want to make music about bullshyt. I want to do something that people really want to get behind. Lately, I guess I've just being trying to flesh some of it out. I'm gonna work on assembling a band too. I already know some musicians just from playing in marching band, church, and at my dorm. I think we could have something like the rock version of Wu Tang if I got everybody together.

:whoa: But don't think I'm bout to drop an album no time soon.

I know I still got more to learn if I wanna do the shyt right.

:youngsabo:But believe me, breh. Imma have something one of these days.
