First one is the same for me

Also:
>Father never got me involved in sports or athletics at a young age, even though he was very athletic (I have realized over time this is out of some sort of spite)
>Mother, whose first language is Spanish, never taught me a lick even though all she had to do was fucking talk to me in Spanish. Had to teach myself.
>Grew up in Europe, parents took me out of European education system and put me into an American school for American expats at age 11 (The repercussions of this are honestly too much to even quantify, a terrible mistake)
>Never got me braces (when they were needed) and so I'm in the awkward position of being a young adult with fucked up teeth- do I get braces and take a leave of absence from the dating market for a couple years, or soldier on through life like this?
>Never taught me even basic skills, Would sign me up for clubs and then yank me out a couple weeks in because they were too lazy to drive me there (boy scouts, piano lessons, Judo, you name it), so I never really got good at anything other than things I could do without their support (getting books from the library, doing push ups and sit ups at home, watching the morning news, etc.)

They made some good choices about me later on, though. By then I was about 17 and a bit useless because I wasn't good at anything. Oh well, parenting isn't easy. At least I know what they did wrong (SO much more than I've listed) and I can make sure not to do the same.
