Talking to Your Parents.

Okay, so, my mom and I have a really...strange - to say the least - relationship. It's just that stage where she gets frustrated easily with me, and I hate talking to people above me.
But today we had our first outing with just us, [even if it was to the grocery store] and I realized it can be easy to talk to her, if we just kinda let back. We actually both really enjoyed it.

So, is it easy talking to your parents? Or do you just kinda...distance yourself?

I can talk to my parents : )

Well... mainly my mum... my dad gets angry over some things, but he's usually really nice XD

I found that I could talk to my mum when I told her that I cut and all that, I thought she'd flip, but she was all "I just want you to be happy" and understood... and we ended up discussing space hoppers...

My dad I can't talk to abotu things like that so well... we go out to hardware stores and stuff, adn just talk about random things. He usually tells me random things that are interesting, I know random thigns about telephone wire and electric cables and shizz...

If I told im about the whole cutting thing, he'd probably take away all my music and posters because apparently they influence me to do so...

But it's fun, when I talk to my parents, we make fun of the other parents or my siblings... lol

I try to talk to my mum but she's pretty sick of it. In the car she'll just nod and whatever and turn the radio up.

I can talk to dad though.

I sometimes talk to my mom. Not about anything really deep. But about stuff like music, but not too deep.

I can't talk to my dad. At all.

Well, there's something of a culture gap with me and my parents, because we're first generation immigrants and I am apparently "Americanized."

In general we have a good relationship, but I'm the sort of teenage who's all "I can deal with it myself!" so we don't really have heart to hearts very much.

And they seem oblivious to the fact that I've hit puberty. :file: So it's awkward to talk to them about a lot of things.

I like to keep a casual relationship with mine. Like, I talk to them and hang out with them thursday nights for the family TV show but I don't tell them every little part of my life. Keep them informed with ur life but not to much, so that they aren't in my face about my problems, but we have a good, trusting bond.

It also keeps them really happy with me so they understand if something goes wrong. If I have a problem in school or something and they might accuse me, they willl listen to my side.

Yeah, it's nice. It helps to have a good relationship with them too because they are more willing to ignor curfew every once and a while XD

I can talk to my mom... 90% of all the things happening in my life. But the remaining 10% ... includes my biggest problems of all time.

She's understanding but... not understanding enough. When I talk things to her, I'm sure she's gonna give unwanted advice but in the end, whatever I do, she's always right.

My dad... can't talk to him. he's suspicious of things and thinks that I'm this I'm that. He's like... this smiley; :crazy:

But the person whom I can be all honest (in the family); my brother.

I can talk to my Mum about most things. My Dad is a comletely different story altogether.
I always make sure they aren't in a bad mood before I talk to them though.
I like to distance myself fromt them because some things they just won't understand and I know they'll be upset or angry with me if I try to talk to them about it.

I can talk to my dad. About anything. He knows me like firetruck (he's a fireman...).

I can joke with my mother, but nothing too serious, nothing emotional. I actually feel better talking to guys, so for mow my brother will have to do.

I don't talk about anything too serious to my mother, 'cause...she laughs and thinks I'm joking. And my dad...I can't tell anything to my dad.

But anything else, yes, I can talk to them...

I can't talk to my father at all. Me and him are just so distant, he doesn't even know when I leave for school, or when my sister is at work. He just seems like he doesn't want to be a part of anything.

My mom is a little easier to talk to, though if you go to her with a really important or intense question, she just kind of jokes about it, doesn't take it seriously enough. But, if I need her help, I just kind of blurt the question out. It's the easiest and fastest way to get it over with.

I tend not to tell my parents anything, and I really should. :shifty
They both tend to ... overreact a lot and blow things way out of proportion, so if I have a problem, I usally go to one of my close friends before I go to them.
I don't know why, I mean, I love my parents, but I find it so much easier to talk to other people. :\

Me and my mom are very very close. Sometimes it can be hard to talk to her because she always zones out, and sometimes I am afraid that if I tell her something, it will cause ehr to look at me differently. But other than that, I can tell her pretty much anything and everything. And what I can't tell her, I can tell my older sister Jessica (who is 31).

My dad and I...are relationship is very...cold I guess. My dad is an acloholic and wasn't really around when I was growing up, even though he lived in the same house. He is not an asshole, I mean he gives us money for school and clothes, and he and my mom are still best friends, but I can't tell my dad anything. He doesn't even recognize the bands I like. He makes an effort. He was the only one who got me any kind of MCR merch for Christmas (even though it was something I already had). But it's just...cold, a cold relationship with him.

I'm not close to either of my parents. My dad throws money at me so he doesn't have to listen to my problems, and my mom is pretty much the bitch from hell. Any conversation I have with her is an arguement. I'm an antisocial person by nature, but she just makes it so much worse.

I can't talk to my parents at all.

I have a fairly good relationship with my mom. I can get distance with her but lately so much has been crashing into my world I needed someone to talk to and cry on and well she opened up for me. She tells me everything that most parents would never dream of telling their kids but she does.I wish I could do that with her but I only tell her some things because I sort fall in the shyness circle. :shifty

I live with my dad and I can't tell him anything. He asks but he doesn't really want to know. Though I can always talk to my mum, on the rare occasions I get to see her :D

I think it's not that hard. I talk a lot to my parents, but, of course, there are certain stuff I would never dream to tell them(e.g. the time I smoked for the first time). Still, I talk a lot. I find it fun, both with my dad and my mom, especially my dad because I see him 2 days a week ever since he was transfered to a different city and he can only come home to his family that much.

I find it hard to talk to my parents about most things. It's strange and annoying. I'd love to have a good relationship with them.

I talk to my mom. I argue with my dad. :tehe:

Mostly about people from school. Anything else... they don't know a thing. >.>
