have you seen your parents cry?

[immense]

if so when and why?

[Rozi]

I must have been about 8 when my mum was on the phone to the credit card company and she started crying :'(

and when my dad had a bad back and he was in so much pain :'(

[lorren]

ywes and it makes me cry!

[Smits]

Yeah i have seen them cry due to a dispute

[Special]

Dad - never
Mum - a few times, mostly due to a death of a family friend/friend

[FlyingJesus]

My mum a couple of times just from stress and stuff, we're not very helpful tbh... also when her dad died and more recently because her mum is pretty much nearly gone.

My dad I can only think of one time I've seen him cry and that was one of the saddest moments of my life - it was over how much he misses us when we're not at his (my parents are divorced) and how happy he is when we are there even if we're just chilling separately.

They might have cried when they told us about the divorce but I can't really remember tbh, was all just weird then.

[Nikki]

i've never seen my dad cry,
my mom sometimes if someones died or something, and its hard to bare.

[immense]

I don't think I've seen either cry. Defo not my Dad, lol. He'd cry stones or something :S

[kuzkasate]

only my mum when someone in the family dies.

[Kyle]

I actually haven't which seems weird. They must be well 'ard

[immense]

My step-mum cried today lol because she was talking about racism in 1920s America.

[::Art::]

My mam cries when something sad happens on say Corrie or Eastenders LOL

[immense]

so do i though lol

idk where i get it from

i watched to kill a mockingbird today (parts of) and cried

[lorren]

my mums been crying loads, coz her brother passed away and its really say and my great nan also passed away:(

[Nicola]

I've seen my mum cry a lot.

The only time I've ever seen my dad cry is when my parents split up. It was actually heart breaking because I'd never seen him cry before.

[immense]

lol neither of mine did when they divorced

HEARTLESS.

[dbgtz]

only once when my nan died and my mum cried like hell. :(

[Jamesy]

My mum quite a few times, death of relatives, days when things don't go very well and things. My dad only once, and that was when they were having a blazing row and I intervened as it was quite a nasty one. I think he released how much of a *** he was being.

[HotelUser]

When my parents were in arguments I've seen my mom cry, I've seen my father cry when my grandfather passed away many years ago.

If we're discussing other awkward incidents where I've seen people cry when they didn't want me to, one lunch hour, I went to write a French test when I still (unfortunately) was required to take French for those lovely six years by the province. My female French teacher, who was just in her late twenties was in absolute tears after answering the phone, when she had been perfectly fine before. Her friend escorted her out of the school and several days later she returned.

[Shar]

Yes, when my granddad died two years ago :'(

[Caution]

I've seen my Mum cry quite a lot, mostly due to someone dying. I've never seen my Dad cry.

[Sharon]

probably when i was seriously bad my mum cried to get me to cry even more

[sammy]

I've seen them cry a lot. My mum cries quite frequently and my dad cries occasionally.

[buttons]

only seen my mum cry once, when i was 4 my mum was in bed nearly crying so i offered her my chocolate and she burst in tears, still dunno what that was about...
my dad never, ever. never seen my mum or dad cry at funerals or weddings, not even when my nephew was born, no wonder i don't show emotion:p

[PaulMacC]

I've seen my Mum cry quite a lot, mostly due to someone dying. I've never seen my Dad cry.
Same as you.

[ecstasy]

seen my mum cry quite a few times due to arguments mainly, some other family stuff too
dad never, and i dont think i ever will

[Roxy]

seen my mum cry a few times, mainly when her dad died. never seen my dad cry though

[RandomManJay]

I've seen my mum cry quite a few times, but I've never seen my dad, although I know he has ;).

[Neversoft]

I've never seen my Mum cry, but I have seen my Dad cry once. It was when our cat was ill. We took him to the vet hoping to get some kind of medicine or cure, but there was nothing the vet could do and our cat had to be put down. We both cried full on for about half an hour.

[wiktoria]

Ive seen my mum cry, it always makes me sad :(

[Megan.]

ive only seen my mum cry

[SugarPlum.]

yeah, my mum always cries cos she's a mardy bum D:
but i've only saw my daddy cry once, when him and my mum broke up !
(they're back together now tho s'all gurd)

[Blinger$]

mum: when my grandpa died, and during her divorce from daddy
dad: when my grandma (his mum) died, and during my aunties funeral (his brothers wife).. probably another time too..


it sucks when parents cry..

[Jordy]

Mum usually cries whenever she loses an argument, usually deserved tbh.

Only ever seen my dad cry once, and unlike most others in the thread it wasn't a deeply sad moment, I must admit it's one of the funnier ones. He was very angry and stressed at the time and my mum just walked in the room and told him to stop being such a puff and to man up.

[Amberr]

Ive seen them cry quite alot lately... its horrible ;[

[HotelUser]

Ive seen them cry quite alot lately... its horrible ;[

Awww Amber :(

[Meanies]

yes lol
i think i've seen my dad
seen my mum loads. she even threw a glass at my grandads head but missed once

[Gemma]

My mum when she's stressed, arguments, etc.

[Jessie]

Mum used to all the time when she thought dad was cheating on her but he wasn't :/
but she still does because of work.
Dad I think only a few times like when he watches a sad film (xD) and when he thought he was dying but it turned out that a wasp had stung his throat
My family are REALLY soppy x]

[Metric1]

ya my mom cries all the time, especially when she's drunk.. she cries when something sad happens on TV, or in movies.. she's a big crier.

[JACKTARD]

Once. At my great grandad's funeral

[Mr-Trainor]

Seen my mum cry when watching movies lolol.

[Niall!]

Yes.

My mum because of stress or w/e.
Dad because I was moving away (I'll never let the old man forget!)
Gran cries all the time, she's that type of person.

One of the most disturbing parts of my life was when my granda thought my gran was leaving him. Seeing him, an ex-soldier and the strongest willed person I've ever known, crouched down on the straight wailing and in tears was horrifying.

[Faboosh]

I've only seen my dad cry once after him and my mum had a big argument. I've seen my mum cry many times cos she's just like that.

[HotelUser]

Yes.

My mum because of stress or w/e.
Dad because I was moving away (I'll never let the old man forget!)
Gran cries all the time, she's that type of person.

One of the most disturbing parts of my life was when my granda thought my gran was leaving him. Seeing him, an ex-soldier and the strongest willed person I've ever known, crouched down on the straight wailing and in tears was horrifying.

That would really bother me, seeing someone who I consider to be really authoritative in my life crying like that.

[Niall!]

That would really bother me, seeing someone who I consider to be really authoritative in my life crying like that.

Yeah, was horrible.

Also, I meant to type on the street not on the straight, no clue why I added that.

[Gibs960]

I've seen my dad cry once when I had an argument with him
I've seen my mum cry loads when family have died and when she's just generally upset :(

[Becca]

Only once with both.

My dad because we were all drunk one boxing day and me, him and my sister went into my room crying saying we love each other.
My mum ages ago I think I was like, seven. Someone broke into the car and stole my dad's birthday present. ;[[[[

[Narnat,]

Mum - Once when me and my sister were kinda stressing her out
Dad - When My nan died

[Abbie.]

umm ive apparently made my dad cry :|

and my mum alllll the time

[PaulMacC]

I've never seen my dad cry, not even at his dads funeral. Always see my mum though.

[Hollie]

I havnt seen them crying but I've known when they were, can't remember why though

[Black_Apalachi]

My mum sometimes cries really easily when she's mad with us or whatever but it doesn't seem like as big a deal as your dad crying. The only time I ever saw my dad cry was when Muhammad Ali was accepting some award on TV being all shaky with his Parkinson's. I guess he was probably his hero so it's understandable.
