Hey all! I'm just interested in how you get on with your parents - if you argue often, or if you depend more on them.
My mother annoys me sometimes, and you better don't get across her when she's in a bad mood. But I can talk to her very, very easily and relaxed whenever she's in a good mood. I love my mum, but I'm still independent. My school is far away from home, so I come home every fourth, fifth or sixth week, and in the holidays. My father is - sometimes a little like a mate, someone you can have a laugh and a drink with. Sometimes he's rude and really hurts me. I can not talk to him as relaxed and quiet as with my mum.
How about you?

I usually get along well with my parents. Whenever they start being rude, if ever, orr don't give me credit for what I've done, I simply either try or say, okay I agree, and then forget about it. Thats what friends are for. Remember, sometime the faults of others makes people grow closer. I know from past experiences.

I get along quite well with my parents. I argue with my mom more than i do with my dad, though.

Same here. My mom and I argue quight a bit sometimes. Dad usually lets me get away with more. But usually we all get along fine.

Erm? Lmao well, my mom is working mostly so I don't see her that much anyways but, we just don't see eye to eye. We can't have a conversation with out fighting. And my dad....... Is there a nice way to say this? Ummm. He's retarded. So, I just get pissed off whem I'm with him because I have zero patience. And my step mom drives me crazy. Her occupation is weird and she's insane. Perfect for my dad eh? Lmao. So yea, I don't do too well with parents.

I get along well with my parents. I might sound like a suckup ro a goody goody but I truly love them a lot and I feel comfortable talking to either of them about anything. Plus they're good for a laugh! Lol!

That seems often the case with the stepdads. I heard it a lot.
Heather, I almost feel sorry for you. That must be hard for you to have such parents. Well, I still love mine a lot, but they just annoy me at times - but well, most parents do.

I get along with both of my parents extremely well, and I definitely consider myself lucky in that regard. I actually live with my grandparents, so the age/generation difference is even larger than it would be for most of you and your parents. HOwever, mutual trust makes it work, and apparently I "keep them young". :)

Well for me, mom's out of the picture. I live with my aunt and we have ups and downs. We always find something to argue about every month. My dad on the other hand, will argue with me sometimes when he's drunk, and will often talk about death, well I know we all gonna die some day but once he starts talking about it to me, it's like come on dad cut it out for goodness sake! Well I hardly don't see him very often so we don't see each other to argue a lot, otherwise if we did see each other often, the war would be on.

Aaw, that sounds horrible. My grandma does the same, but that's something different. My parents are good to me, but not to my grandma, who's living on the same yard as we do. I'm in fact the only one who talks to her really.

The only problem I have with my parents and with my grandma is that they always complain that I weigh too much. I think I'm old enough now to live my own life and do what I want, but they still annoy me with that.

Oh I can't stand strictness. I mean - until a certain limit, strictness is okay, but some parents really exagerate with the strictness.

I admit that I really gave my mom a bunch of shit she didn't deserve. I have snapped at her on countless occasions, even for asking a simple question. I'm starting to realize that I need to chill and try to get along with her better. I get along with my dad very well.

Same here Gryffindore Angel. I've always started an argument with mum even when she just asks me simple questions or if I'd do things for her round the house. The worst of it is, it isn't very hard to start a blazing row with mum at the best of times. My dad's never been in the picture, so I don't really see eye to eye with him, since he couldn't cope with family life or our family situation when I was a baby and constantly in and out of hospital with mum for various ops, bloods and things, so he called it a day when I was 18 months old and that's where the spectacular temper tantrums kicked off big style. Daddy had gone away and it was all, mummy's, fucking, fault. That's why we haven't really bonded. It's never been as strong a bond as I would've liked to have with mum, more's the pitty, especially when she always, always dumped me at my Grandparents during the week and even sometimes at weekends so she could go out with friends, go ice-skating, go round the shops Etc Etc, so the bond is a lot stronger between me and my grandparents, because I grew up either with them, my mum's friend Angela and her two girls or my Auntie Lou, the Aunt who could have her fourth and final baby later on today, the bond's really strong between Lou and me as well, so I've been quite up and down emmotionally over the past 5 months since we found out she was pregnant again and the pregnancy hasn't exactly been running too smoothly. I hope mum and i can repare the damaged bond between us in time though.

Well, no, actually, no. We have different opinions. I have learnt to be slightly different. I don't have any prejudices, while they do. It's not pleasant to hang around people who moan about different peoples in different nationalities, religions, and classes. For example my parents say this cruel joke about the jappanese people not thinking and the english thinking too much. Yes, it's really insulting. What's worse, they want me to be just like them, and I won't have it!!!!
