I think if anyone claims to hate their parents, 99.9999 times out 100 they don't! Perhaps they don't like them, or don't connect with them, or don't feel they understand, or feel bullied by them - but not hate! The more often we use the word 'hate' - the more we ignore serious issues that validate it's use.

But no, I have never hated my parents, ever. Perhaps it's my upbringing, but I've always appreciated them massively, been polite, abided by their rules, and tried to make them proud. I still don't even swear around them (even "mild" words like bitch) - It's all about respect, and I get it back.
