If you traveled back in time would you be friends with your parents

Interesting thread here.

For me - my parents were pretty big into partying, drinking, and drugs. I have never been into any of those. I would likely get to know them a bit but probably not spend a lot of time.

Step parents - Step dad, heck no. He wasn't a criminal per se but kind of a "bad guy". Step mom was just weird.

Nope. They were too extroverted, too ego conscious, too preoccupied with their feelings, unperceptive, and not analytical enough.

Honestly, no. Around that time I was like nine or ten. I really can't put up with kids even if it was myself. Though our family dog, Blackie was a recently aquired family member at the time. I'd time travel just to see her in her prime and maybe play with her a bit.

I'd be friends with my mum, she was cool. My dad would probably offer me drugs.

Definitely! Both were awesome! My mother passed away 6 years ago (I was 14) and I've missed her EVERYDAY! I see my dad regularly....he's STILL awesome!

I would be fine being friends with my mother but with my dad it's a different story because he is annoying and I get tense and anxious being around him.

Naah, my mom was the trendy unpopular kid. Liked to stay up to date with pop culture and fashion trends and pop music and all that hoo haa with the joys of being labled as an academic nerd. Im just a nerd who doesnt follow the trend.

Yeah, they were hippies.

I dunno, because I'm 48 now so my early middle aged parents would probably think who's this weirdo, and why does she look vaguely like our morbid, new wave, teenage daughter? They would probably think I was a weirdo.

I might have tried to befriend my mother. She's a solid woman with okay levels of common sense and intelligence.

My dad might have been intelligent, but he only learned when he was willing to listen, which wasn't often enough.

He was overbearing, with a tendency for extremes, and lack of common sense and consideration. There's no way I could have been friends with him.

No. Tgey are awful people

Hell no

yea but they wouldn't have been friends with me ;(
