Man, when I think about the heart attacks I've put my conservative Indian parents through (frequently getting lost/injured/severely sick as a small child, dropping out of high school, getting married at 19 with no income, refusing prestigious consulting jobs to go work at startups, then leaving 3 jobs in a row with less than a year at each...) it makes me realize that parenting must be even more of an emotional roller-coaster than starting a startup. I'm guessing it never gets easier, either.

Luckily it's turned out pretty well so far. I'll be sure to thank my parents for putting up with me for so long.
