So true. It's something I experienced as a teenager and then as a parent myself. :-)

Well, I knew they loved me, but I never looked at all the things they did for me out of love. We forget this as teenagers, as kids, we try to live our own life. We want to make our own choices, and those will often clash with the choices of our parents. That’s totally normal. That’s okay. What’s not okay is resenting them, hating them, or being angry with them. Why? Because it makes you dull to the beautiful experiences you can share together. It makes you unconsciously resist so many beautiful experiences in your life.
