Answer 1

Realationships are hard. I don't always get along with my teenage daughter but we try and sit down and try and find something to do. Parents can't read minds so just be honest with your parent

Answer 2

Knowing our parents is a big part of knowing our Self.

All that we are right now is a creation of both our parents put together. We carry in us, all their good and bad qualities as well, so ignoring them would only mean ignoring all the possibilities of ever knowing yourself.

Choose wisely now, as otherwise we are bound to have similar experiences of alienation with our own kids, as what’s goes around comes around. If something irritates you in them then probably you carry it in yourself too. Heal that and you’ll never have to meet the same quality in anyone, ever again.

Otherwise when we grow up, our children will do the same with us, so let’s utilize the time we have with our parents to learn more about them and in turn our own self.

The best way to start an interaction would by knowing about our collective roots or our ancestry, and our heritage. Things get really fascinating when we start imagining our parents not just as our parents but as separate individuals who made our life possible here on earth, what do they bring to us, in terms of heritage and collective history of the family. Search your family tree and gene pool for interesting personalities and character that can be inspiring as well as amusing, so that you know where you come from the this vast gene pool of human civilization.

What makes up as a human being and that usually decides where all can we go on from there. Soon we might discover how many sacrifices and troubles our previous generations have gone through just so that we can exist today.

And may be, some day you will find out why you chose only them as a parents out millions of others options as a soul, and that is the first step to a spiritual life.

Answer 3

Relationships are hard. I don't always, actually, i never get along with my parents, but i think that you should just try to be honest with your parent. Tell them how you feel. Maybe if it is hard for you to tell them in their face, then try writing them a letter or e-mail. That works for me sometimes. I wish you luck.

Answer 4

some people have somethin in common but some don't but that doesn't mean they less caring one to another.
when i grew up, i felt the same about my mom. i have a very big family. there are 11 of us including my parents. my mom love cooking but i don't. when she is at home she spent most of her time in the kitchen cooking for us. she run a small cafe near our house. so she is always busy.
i knew she loved us very much but she just don't have the time to spend with us. she tried though but with 9 children altogether sometime it's just impossible. one day i really miss talking with her so i decided to give a hand with her in the kitchen. we had a very good conversation during that time. ever since that, although i don't like cooking but i am willing to help her so i would have a chance to talk things with her. and i am happy and she is happy too knowing that i want to spent my time with her doing things that she love to do when she knew that i don't like cooking. in return she tried her best to have interest in things i like to do.
you don't have to have something in common just to hang around with your parents. do soemthing that they like and you can spend your time with them together. parents love it when they know their children have interest in things that they do. in that way you build a strong bond with them. and i am sure they also would do the same with you.

Answer 5

Just know that your parents will always love you. Just try harder to communicate with them.
