Have you ever realized that your parents are real people, aside from being your mom or dad?

Yea, this means ur growin up, and ur growin up in a good way because besides growin up mentally and get more knowlege, ur sense of reality is developing which is good :)

I thought about this when i was young because i read alot about philosophy and nature of human, it was probably Nietzche,
Proved it when i realize they fight because logically one is right and wrong and mathmatically one of em was wrong, therefore they werent perfect, just like everybody else.
And it was just a reminder that they are human not perfect persons, they made bad choices, they have patterns, they have defensive mechanisms, but their human.

My parents are actually robots.

I realized this when I was 5

my relationship with my folks was forever damaged...

my dad wasnt a real person... he was a GOD (j/k he's got idol status in my eyes though)

my mum has always been a "real person" to me she ****** me up in the head hardcore... i know she's been through some of the same **** i have but she's my MUM she's not supposed to make it worse on me no matter what she's been through

Well is that not obvious......

The first time I realized that my Dad was anything other than Dad the breadwinner and authority figure, was the day he found out that his younger brother was at end-stage pancreatic cancer. I found him out behind the barn with a fifth of liquor (Dad doesn't drink) crying his eyes out. Hell of an eye-opener.

I always knew that they are real but I still need to know who are they

Of course theyre real,i will always carry the emotional scars,great parents i had-not.

They've always been real people to me. I don't really understand this question.

Probably takes a while for a young person to realise this.
