No one can choose his or her parents. They are chosen by God, so honour them and be blessed.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother – this is the first commandment with a promise: so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” – Ephesians. 6:1-3
