Although your word might be true for some parents, it still sounds pretty harsh.
Mine was an arranged marriage.
For ALL the GOOD days I thank my parents for getting me hooked to a complete stranger 
For ALL the BAD days I BLAME them too, for hooking me up with a complete stranger 
What I have realized after all this time is… my parents actually kept my LIFE going.
**I am forever thankful and grateful to them.
