子こを持もって知しる親おやの恩おん

expression

becoming a parent makes you appreciate your own parents

Proverb expressing that one truly understands parental love and sacrifice only after having children of one's own.

• 子こを持もって知しる親おやの恩おんとはよく言いったもので、自じ分ぶんが親おやになって初はじめて両りょう親しんのありがたみがわかった。

  They say 'becoming a parent makes you appreciate your own parents,' and indeed, I only understood my parents' value after I became a parent myself.
