How can my relationship with my parents become better?

Question

Plz any advice or tipss on how 2 cope with em? thnx

Answer 1

Try letting them into your life a little more. You don't have to tell them every detail, but parents often feel left out of their children's lives, so keeping them informed is going to do wonders for your relationship with them.

So keep the lines of communication open and treat them with the respect that parents deserve and your relationship will get better.

Good luck!

Answer 2

One word RESPECT . You show them respect and that will open a doorway. Know matter what your age is, they are older than you and have been around longer. Also show them that you love and care for them. Even if they are hard to get along with , let them know you do care. It's not something that can be done overnight or in some cases a year. Time will have to be your friend, time and patients.

Answer 3

appreciate what they do. all those stupid little annoying things that drive you CRRRAZZZZY. think about how much theyve sacraficed for you. try and put yourself in their shoes from the moment you were born theyve been under tremendous pressure to not only do their best to make you a good person, but to raise you right. i know that sounds so cliche - but take a step back and look at what all they do for you. and their stupid habits, whatever they may be (my moms was DRONING ON AND ON ENDLESSLY THROUGHOUT STORIES I COULDNT CARE ANY LESS ABOUT - SHE STILL DOES IT!) try as hard as you can to just suck it up and remind youself that all this could end tomorrow. they wont be around forever so try your best to embrace those things that drive you nutttts. and dont flip out on them, as easy as it is - dont. do your best, even if you have to grit your teeth to whooole time so stay calm and try to maturely express your opinion. itll help your relationship and impress them. trust me, that relationship is one of the most important in the world. i was the epitome of a 'wild child' - and my mom is my best friend now.

Answer 4

Be an adult. Honor and obey them. If you want to be treated like an adult then act like one. Let them into your life and they'll let you into theirs. Don't interpret every rule that they set as an effort to keep you sheltered, know that they're older than you, they've been your age before, and they do know better at this point in your life. They set rules and boundaries for you because they love you and want to raise you to be a good person, not because they want to make you angry or rebel. They love you, always remember that and put that first.

Answer 5

Make a quiz of things about you such as what college do i want to go to and then maybe they will see that they need to spend time with you and then after they do that set seperate time like once a week you and your parents do something together such as go to a movie or go bowling or go shopping.Hope this is good enough .

Answer 6

Try accepting 1 thing that you hate most that they did to you== for example listen & agreeing... or spend an expected tea time or weekend with them. Hug them 1 morning before leaving house to say thank you & good bye. That worked really well.... so touching moment.

Answer 7

Parents are very protective of their kids, so don't be upset with them when they seem to be nosey or nag. Your parents have experience with being kids themselves once, so don't think they don't understand you. The thing with parents is today our society is more scary, there are dangers out there that we didn't have to face when we were young. So don't be upset when they say "NO" it really is for your own good. Every thing your parents say should be like gold to you. There is experience in their words.

Answer 8

Respect their views and their rules. Be interested in them and their work. Help out around the house. Basic stuff really...

Answer 9

Open communication along with love and respect.

Answer 10

Try to understand them in the right context.
