Understanding

When (I was) young, I often (did) not understand (my) parents.

I do-not-have-the-potential-to-be-able-to understand (the) hardship (of) their work. My parents(’) work (was) both very busy, every day after getting off work (and) returning home, (my) father would clean up (the) room “really quick”, (and my) mother would make evening meal for us. Arriving weekends, they would take me to go climb (the) mountains, paddle boats, learn singing, (and) learn dancing. They - “disposing of” (their) own time - gave to me, but (at) that time, what could I understand?

I also do-not-have-the-potential-to-be-able-to understand their hope for me. When attending high school, (my) parents hoped (that) I could take-test-(with the result of)-getting-into one “suo” (of) good university, so on weekends they invited(/hired) (a) teacher for me, to teach me at home. (In the) time (that is) before inviting(/hiring) (a) teacher at home, I(,at the) time (of) weekends(,) all would go out and play computers together with other classmates; (in the) time (that is) after inviting(/hiring) (the) teacher, every time (I) all did-not-have-the-potential-to-be-able-to play (already), so (at) that time (I was) kind of upset with (my) parents.

Now I can understand (my) parents (already), (it) “is because” I (my)self have (a) job (now), (and I) also have (a) child (now). Perhaps my child now also do-not-have-the-potential-to-be-able-to understand me, but wait (until) when he has-the-potential-to-be-able-to understand (me), (he) will know (that) these (things that) I am doing now “are all because ” (I) love him.
