Money help: i wish i could do more for my parents. - Help.com

If you are able to recognize those negative traits in your personality then you can actually try to change them. Try to help more around the house. When they ask you to do chores don’t blow them off and help out as much as you can. They will appreciate that more than any amount of money you can give them or any expensive present you can give them. If you do your best to mind them more often I bet your parents will appreciate you more and more. But you have to be consistent and do it all the time. Don’t do it just because it’s Christmas or any other special day. Do it all the time. They will love you for it!

Procrastinator, huh?

You sure don’t hesitate to complain about it.

In my experience, the more you talk big, the less you get done.

Tch, okay, that sounded kinda mean.

It’s good that you can recognize and be grateful for your parents’ sacrifices. You are definitely not all bad because of being a procrastinator. But, times are hard. And you need to try finding some seasonal work, ne?

I’m beginning to think that you logged on to be told what you already know. It’s a good way of validating your opinion. I do it a lot when I have ideas about self improvement. If I’m honest with my self and the thread, then I can pretty much expect the outcomes. Although quite a few people here can be creative at times. C:

I’m in the same boat you are. My parents and I have a very fickle relationship, but it got better as I got older, and I realized the reason they were never around was because they were working to give me everything.

I’m just a slacker. And what I want to do will make money, but for now I’m broke and not able to give them much of anything. I want to be helpful.

I know that all parents want is to see their children succeed, and by having the type of personality we do…we’re not doing that. I guess working harder is our only option at this point.

You know, they say that this generation will be the first not to surpass their parents. With your attitudes, I believe it. You can change yourself at any time. The only thing stopping you is yourself.

Definitely! I am a procrastinator when I choose to be. The hard part is choosing when not to be. I say “I’m gonna stop being a procrastinator tomorrow.,” and wouldn’t you know it, still a procrastinator. If I say “I am not a procrastinator!” That usually works. :]

You are what you strive to be. If you strive to do nothing, then you will be nothing. If you strive to succeed, you will be a successor.

Why name a day? Start the moment you decide lol.

no dude…you’re personality isn’t stopping you….it’s just you that is stopping you. People can change anything, and I’m really glad that you want to do more for your parents. I think you’re awesome for even thinking that, but it’s up to you to shape up. You know what you have to do, so now just go out there and do it!

Yay! Someone who cares about what his parents do for him and appreciates it. YAY!:]

You may be on the brink of finding your passion in life. Working hard is a pleasure when you are working at something you love. You said that you may not do what you want. What do you want to do? What obstacles need to be removed in order to make a path toward your goal?
