How can you reason with strict parents?

Answer 1

Strict parents...bargain. If they won't let you go out, then bring people over. If they won't let people over, then go out. There is always a compromise to be made. Find out what it is they have a problem with and work with it. If they don't let you do anything, then do absolutely nothing (no cleaning, no homework). Let your parents know that you are only willing to work with them if they are willing to work with you. It could be tense, but liberties aren't granted easily.

Answer 2

Strict parents usually wants you to fall in line to what they say and tell you to do even if they are wrong. What I found is that, its ok to disagree with my parents to an extent. When it becomes a shouting match it doesnt matter really what you say so dont let it become to that. Try sitting down if possible and go through with the consequences of the situation. Try being more negotiable with them, give and take for example extra chores for a night out to town. Whatever that makes them realise that you can be trusted. It all revolves around trust. Remember that trust is easily to lose but hard to regain.

Answer 3

The truth is you really and truly can't. I have a strict dad and the only reason parents are strict is because they think they're protecting you, but their really not! But you just gotta hold on until college. Just don't go too crazy!

Answer 4

You love and respect them no matter what. They are strict for a reason. Your parents love you and care for you. I had strict parents as child and teenager and it was horrible. But you have to remember that one day your parents won't always be here and you have to love them and respect them as much as you can. I hope you find this helpful!!!

Answer 5

Strict parents should reason with you. Be reasonable.

Answer 6

You can show them how responsible you are, by doing house chores without being told. so they learn to trust you. You can tell them that you will call every hour to know where you are at. You can also tell them the positive things that you may be doing. I hope it helps, i never had strict parents, but my friends have before.

Answer 7

i had a very strict mother and in my senior year of HS i rebelled as hard as i could. From dying my blonde hair purple to getting a belly ring and cutting classes.

The only way i got her off my back was when it was time to go to college i moved out and went as far as i could. I moved away to go to a college that was a 9 hour drive away from home. And when i got there i pretty much cut all contact with my mom after she would call me demanding i do certain things. From that point on i was "never home". So in turn the only way she could reach me was if i called her and the only way i called her was when she backed off.

It's harsh and yes it resulted in me not talking to her for several mths. but it worked. She's not strict with me anymore when i go visit. And she understands that she can't control what i do with my life. That if she wants to remain part of my life she has to let me live it myself.

Answer 8

strict is synonymous with unreasonable. jump on tour with a jam band (hardly matters how old you are or what resources you might have. especially with String Cheese Incident) and travel for a while. After a month or so give them a call from a payphone and discuss the terms of your return.

or try being reasonable with them. whichever.

i say let kids experience life and step in only when nesesarry

Answer 10

You cannot reason with strict parents. Try to understand their point of view and respect it but continue with what you feel is right. If you feel they will disapprove of your behavior, keep it discrete but don't lie to them. If all else fails join the military and move far far away.
