Answer 2

as long as there been people on this planet there has been the generation gap thig and guess what, it will be too in the future. important thing is to have an secere open communication, listen to how each feel before blowing your tops

Answer 3

yes , to my father . We have great problems to get near him. He is very sharp , impatient , bossy , untoucheable. We heard his footsteps approaching , we trembled. This was what we felt about him before.

Then we tried telling him about ourselves. Then tell him things he likes to hear. Then, accompanying him to do things he likes.
The greatest afford is we wrote letter to tell him how we felt about him before. the next 3 days or so after he read the letter , he did not talk to us , nor we dared talk to him. Then days later , we started again with this little talk to him, keep him informed of what we are doing , we find that he has some changes . he is more reasonable, willing to wait , more understanding.

the relationship improves.

one thing i noted is that , we can not changed others , but we can change the situation by beginning with us. try.

Answer 4

all parents and children have the gap hun.it is a very natural and sadly inevietable.the issues you are having to deal with are a world away from what we parents had to deal with when we were your age.the mistakes my parents made and learned from are what they based on how to raise me and my brothers and sisters but of coarse the answers to their problems back then did not answer the questions on issues i had to deal with as a teenager so i sought my own answers(thought i had them figured out) but now the issues i know the answers to are not the questions my children are asking me,and it will be the same with your children someday--be patient with your parents for they are doing only what they know to do.this is a very good question and i hope you remember to also have patience with your own children for they too will simply be trying to figure out "who am i and why am i here"

Answer 5

yes to a certain degree.

the best way for me so far is to give and take and remaining passive helps most of the time. if not, i usually give reasons for the debate and the results are usually a draw even though they may not agree it verbally provided of course that i give and take here also by not insisting i am right even though all parties might sense it by 6th sense.

and if i am wrong, i just retreat and treat it as another lesson learnt. and of course put it behind my mind for the next day is a new day.

Answer 6

we used to before we saw each other at a head shop called "generation gap" kinda wierd huh?

Answer 7

Yeah we do but we always meet half way; like at times she would comment on the things I do, and I just answer her " So Ma what do you suggest?" I guess you just have to communicate with one another and compromise so that there will be no probs!

Answer 8

my parents had me at age 40and there were 2 geneneration gaps. i didn't like it in the early years ( my mother died when i was 12) there was nothing i could do. i wish they were around now, maybe i wouldn't have been so judgemental perhaps we could have been friends now. don't worry you and your parent will get over it. just give it time.

Answer 9

my father is a hippie and Im not,
