I would 100%. But I will add my opinion to this statement.
Taking a bullet ist such an extremely rare circumstance (especially if you live in a safe country) it will never ever happen in my life. It’s just a cheap statement to make yourself feel good. And I despise it when parents say it who I don’t feel make a good effort to support their kids in day to day life. Your kid does not benefit from a hypothetical life sacrifice. It benefits from your daily support, work and effort as a parent every day though.
Anytime. That’s what parents do.
My Boomer mom wouldn’t even show up to my sporting events. I feel taking a bullet isn’t in the cards.
idk probably just really weird like everything else they’ve ever done for me. It’d be one of many grand sweeping gestures that just emphasizes how little they were actually willing to emotionally invest in me day to day. Like cool but could you have maybe just have not spent my entire childhood telling me I’m not good enough. Like I can practically hear my mother saying “well it doesn’t matter whether or not our kids are what we wanted it’s still our jobs as parents to sacrifice everything for them.” Like bitch just don’t then. I’d rather you just didn’t if it meant I could get away from your constant backhanded “love.” I’ve been passively suicidal since like 14 years old and have multiple thoughts of harming myself daily because of the way they raised me. I’ll just go on to the next life myself than keep dealing with them or let them keep trying to guilt me into being the person they wish I was, thank you very much.
If my dad did it, I wouldn’t be surprised, but I would be sad. If my mom did it, I would be very surprised, and I guess I would feel sort of sad, but more feeling sorry for her, not sad about her dying.
Any parent who says no is a bad parent and a bad person.
Taking a bullet is much easier than many challenges parents have to face, take on, bear or navigate for their children. A bullet, presumably, would be fast to suffer and/or die from.
Depends on where it hits, really. Some places you die instantly, others you’ll suffer then die, others you’ll become personally disabled/have your personality entirely changed, and sometimes you’ll be fine after the recovery
Absolutely. Im a natural coward so when a big dog came bounding towards me and my stepson I had to fight my natural urge to use him as a human shield and force myself to step in front of him, but my biological daughter i would definitely sacrifice myself for no questions.
The hard part is trying really hard in day to day life to pretend theres no difference there. I wish there wasnt a difference there, because its not fair, but there is.
How would you feel if your parents died protecting your life?
I would feel obligated to live.
Yes, but only for my favourite child. I couldn’t take the risk with the shit-head child in case the favourite child needed me to take a biullet later.
Even before my undying love for my children and the endless sacrifices I’m willing to commit to for them: purely for egoistic reasons I would take that bullet, because living with the pain of losing a child would keep me alive while suffering like nobody should ever suffer while being needed alive for your other children.
How would you feel if your parents died protecting your life.
Depends. If I was about to die a painless death, quite disappointed as that’s basically the life goal.
Otherwise, I don’t know, my father often says he wants to die, so sounds like success.Really, the situation would have to occur, there’s no other way to tell. I only know I’d be really sad if it happened to my dog.
