    Well in the world of dieting one thing I would tell them (besides the obvious don't have kids if you can't support them emotionally and financially) is that you probably shouldn't stuff your kids with cheap Burger King meals and salty fat in some sick, twisted attempt to please yourself until that kid gets a series of painful kidney stones from the ages of 7-11, has surgery to remove them, then gets obese because you suck at parenting and are so ignorant you have no concept of diet and exercise, and then emotionally abuse that kid well into their late teenage years because you are dangerously jealous that they lost the weight.

    Don't you just love ignorance?

    I would tell my parents that they shouldn't be afraid or that it's not a sign of weakness to show emotion. I was never hugged or told I love you that I can remember. I knew they loved me but it was never expressed. We were made to almost feel embarrassed if we ever cried or showed emotion. As an adult now I struggle with showing love to everyone. I have to remind myself to give hugs and kisses to those I love because it just doesn't come naturally. To this day I feel awkward whenever I'm in a situation where I have to show or express any type of feelings or to say I love you to my parents.

    I would tell them that time flys and life is too short to fight with those you love.

    I would tell them that you should tell your child that you love them and show them some affection and time every once in awhile if you want them to grow up strong and confident with high self-esteem.

    And I second the stock tips ;)

    I'd tell mom not to go back to work so quickly and don't brush off those massive migraines. She had 2 aneurysms removed when K was a tween. Dad, I'd ask him to stop yelling, but I'd hug forever him because he passed away from cancer last month.

    Telling my parents anything would be an exercise in futility. I'd tell myself to keep strong and positive and patient because once I do my time I will be my own boss.
