Talking to Your Parents.

I argue with my parents all the time.

I can't talk to them about much at all. I tend to bottle it all up and it never gets out. They know little bits and pieces of what goes on in my life, but I never go into detail on what I do tell them.

I can't talk to really any of my family.

I have friends who listen though, so I'm not completely alone. I just don't have any relatives I talk to about much.

I can talk to them about really random things, and my Nan. Things that scare me, boys (not my father :XD) worries, emotional things, anything.

But some things, I can only talk to mates about :P

David I've found to be very judgemental about the majority of things so I've never really been able to talk to him about anything other than music. Monica will occassionally tell him something I've said but he's too uncomfortable to say anything to me.

Monica - she tries to make an effort to talk but it usually ends in arguments which isn't much incentive to talk to her. I think she's also very cautious about what she says to me as I have a habit of twisting her words which in all honesty is what causes most of the arguments. She does make an effort, though it's just that if I tried to say something very personal she'll start crying and blame herself as a mother.

My parents and I are pretty much best friends. I can talk to both of them about anything. I wouldn't say that I can talk to one easier than I can the other, but my dad's more relaxed and laid back than my mom, so we can talk about tense subjects better.

My dad's the bo-hizzle. My mom is too. :tehe:

I love them both so, SO much.

=]

I can talk to my parents about casual things, but it gets awkward when we're sitting there watching the news and the latest story is about teen suicide or teen drug use. (And everybody hates it when you're watching a movie with your parents and the dreaded sex scene comes on.)

I used to constantly argue with them, but they're kinda letting me have a little more freedom now and I'm not testing them as much. I've done a lot of stupid things over the past year and a half, and I've learned quite a few valuble lessons and been in quite a few situations which I wouldn't like to revisit.

So basically I can talk to my parents, but I don't tell them about my problems or whatever. I figure I can handle them by myself...I don't like them knowing everything about my life.

I can't really talk to either of my parents.

My dad's more understanding and I guess that if I didn't find it weird and awkward to talk to him, he'd listen. He's never really home, so I don't really even have to talk to him. He just buys me stuff to make up for it.
But my mom... I don't really talk to her about anything. I used to.But she got sick of it all and started to act really bitchy when I told her about my problems, so I decided to stop.

I don't really talk to them anymore, as I said. I just find it too difficult and strange. We're not that close. We mainly just argue, especially my mom and I.

Me and my parents can talk up to a line.
Then everyone gets uncomfortable so we avoid it.

With my mum, I get really uncomfortable in conversations about stuff that I shouldn't have done, or that I should do, etc.
They're usually in the car, so there's no escape. =/

So, yeah. We're kinda close, but we don't talk about some stuff.

It's kinda hard sometimes, honestly. With my mom, we have a lot of disagreements and times when she's taking her frustration out on me, but we often debate about things and talk about what's going on in life. Being her oldest daughter, she knows I understand more of her stress from work and stuff, so she knows I'll listen, and she's more up to date on what's going on with school and everything.

My dad, it's more of a one-sided discussion if I talk to him. He's always saying how he's getting so old and is sad to see my sister and I grow up, but we never really talk about things. Once I stopped playing World of Warcraft with him and my younger sister and even when I was suicidal, it just felt like we lost that connection, and it's still being worked on. Sometimes I just wish we could talk about something..happy..for once.

My Mom and I get along pretty well. We can talk when we need to, but we like our privacy as well.

Everyone once in a while, I try to hang out with her and talk to her. I try it to be "just us" at those times, cause i can't talk to my step-dad AT ALL without getting in a fight or me about to explode.

But we try to communicate. Though, there's tons I still hide at all times. It's not time for the skeletons to come out of the closet just yet... :file:

I can tell my mom virtually anything, 'cept some stuff. Overall, we have an awesome relationship compared to a lot of kids. My dad and I talk about ... music...and how excited we are for the MCR concert we're going to together.

Yeah, my dad's pretty rad . 8)

He has more MCR merch that me O.O[/offtopic]

Me and my parents have a very on/off relationship...

One day we're at each other's throats, and the next we're playing Happy Families.

I would probably say I'm more closer to my mum. We like the same things and I know I can come to her if there's ever anything on my mind. Sometimes.... we bake. :tehe:

I'm also close to my dadfrom time to time. As everyone says, I'm like the spitting image of him (kind of crap actually, seeing as I'm a girl...) and we're very alike in our sense of humour, music tastes and tempers...

Overall, I'm quite happy at the minute.

Ditto. But mostly they play the 'talk shit about each other game' then use me as messenger girl.
My mom lets me get away with more and my dad is over protective and unfair about stuff.
But I'd rather be with my dad because he doesn't bitch and whine 24/7.

Oh well.

What can you do?

I can talk to my Mum about things like friendships, boys etc. I can't talk to her about drugs, sex and girls I like, because she's a homophobe (as I've mentioned here at least a dozen times), Christian and very morally correct.

Me and my parents don't have any sort of relationship. My dad is always busy and working and my mom is never around. When they are around we start fighting we never actually had a decent conversation, not once. I think they still care but they don't know how to show it. The only way they know how to show some affection and love is by giving me all the money and the things I want. I don't want any of that anymore.

My mum's my best friend and I'd talk to her about anything, but my dad... yeah, different story. I
sort of accidentally distance myself from him. Sucks.

I can talk to my mum sometimes...

She's an alcoholic. Not as in "oh, she gets drunk when she gets home from work" but, like, she wakes up in the morning and has to drink in order to stop the shakes and stuff... so that's a bitch and has marred our relationship. We're actually really similar and she's alright when sober. We can have a decent conversation about Placebo, Brian Molko, the twats we're surrounded by... erm, yeah. Sometimes she goes too far and tells me about her sex life. That's gross and traumatises me >_< She's a little irritating but I can deal... however, the majority of the time I just don't bother. We argue, fight, scream, blah blah blah.

My dad? We can talk about mundane things but it often turns into an argument. Our relationship is alright, I s'pose, but we're really different. There are similiarities but our opinions and ethics and... ? Nah, so different, but what do you expect? Dads and daughters...

I don't tell my mum a lot. I probably should talk to her more, but I find it really hard. We just seem to be on completely different levels sometimes. I'll say something to her that means a lot to me, or is important, and she'll look at me like I'm crazy or laugh at it.

It's kind of lead me to just being closed to her altogether. I don't really know if I could talk to her, but I'm too scared to try. I feel like what ever I say to her she just judges me.

I don't talk to my step-dad. He's not even my step-dad; he's my mums partner and my sisters father. I don't like him.

I hate talknig to my parents.
Sometimes we'll get on.
But most of the time they're pissed with me.
Plus I'm like the most shiest person in the world and I shake when I'm asking if I can sleepover Haggii's or something >.>

I can talk to them about a lot of things, but I hide a lot from them too. We're quite close as a family, although there's a lot of personal stuff that I wouldn't dream of sharing with them. I guess my family expect me to be able to keep it together all the time... my sister is the one who needs their attention the most, not me. So that makes me feel like I can't really talk to them about my problems - along with the fact that they don't believe what I say half of the time (because of my age, apparently) - if that makes sense?

But I always talk to them, even if it's usually not asking for advice or something. If I've been at school I'll tell them how my day was, and things like that...I think my problem is that I talk wayyy too much. They don't listen to me a lot of the time because I just don't shut up. xD

I can talk to my mom. And so I do. She knows everything about me, and I keep no secrets from her. She even reads my writing, though most of what she has read, I haven't posted online. According to her, what I write is 'positively pornographic.' XD

My father...is a different story.
