Have You Ever Answered Back At Your Parents?

Oh yes, when I was growing up...Its horrible and I feel so bad about it.

No, not with my parents but with my grandfather. It happened when I was in High School. I live with my grandparents because my parents cannot afford my school fees, projects, uniform, etc. Living away from your family is quite different, I have to do alot of chores. I am not that bad girl of course. It's just that I feel being accused of something which I really don't do. I can't resist the feelings I have that time and I have to defense myself. My uncle scolded me for doing so, he said that I still have to respect my grandfather. As I explain my side it seems like as if it's still my fault. Now that I've grown up, I feel guilty for what I've done. And I promise myself not to do it with anyone anymore.

I never did answer back to my mom and dad. I knew better to do that if I wanted a rearend to sit on or teeth in my mouth. My mom was very strict and when she said to do something, you do it now. If we did not like what she said, we better keep our mouth closed. My daughter back talks me all the time though even though she knows I have told her not to do it and it is disrespectful.

yes, it also happened to me when i was still a teen and so immature, but now im trying to overcome it, now as much as possible im avoiding to raise my voice to my parents. they're already old and a little weak and giving them headaches, and madness would be very unrespectful.

Yes I did but just to defend myself on the things poured on me which is not my doings. It's an impolite manner but sometimes there's no other way to clear out things but to answer back at them though guilty feelings is present.

i remember doing it all the time as a kid and teenager.

yes, i have. way back when i was younger ,i often answer back but it's within reason maybe because i was still trying to prove something for myself ,to my parents that i am an adult already and proving to the whole world that "I AM" but now i feel otherwise maybe because i have matured enough to understand myself better. i even hold back in debating on some issues with other people because i know what matters most.i have found out that we have nothing to prove.misunderstanding starts when you think you have.it reminds me that each one of us has each own perception of things so i just let it be and i will find friends whom i can compromise.

There were times that I did answer back to my parents and though I didn't feel right about it, it was inevitable at that time. It happened when I tried to get a point across and they refused to listen and one time when they jump into conclusions and I needed to defend myself. But altogether I'm regretful about it.

My mom was so strict! She always tell me that one virtue in her life that I must acquire is the respect for elders. But there was one time that she scolded me for something I never did. and so I was forced to reason out. I didn't know that she was hurt. I was so sorry then. I love my mom so much likewise my dad.

I can recall when I was about 6-8 years old I got mouthy with my mom she slapped me in the mouth. that was the last time I ever did it! I am glad I was raised to respect my mom she really did deserve my respect.

Hey, Yes I have back chatted to my mom, when I was younger and I got the slap for it too lol...

The last time I did I ended up with a bloody nose. I do NOT recommend it!!!!

Oh yes!! Many times, especially when I was a lot younger.. Back then, I could never understand why I was being scolded and I always felt I had the right to answer back.. Being teenagers, I think it's inevitable to answer back. Most teens do it I guess. But now that I'm more mature, I understand why I get in trouble. I do tend to answer back but not as bad and I always say sorry in the end.

Oneday,I was not return back the money that was given by my parents for buying sugar.I spent the money by eating cold drinks.That day,my parents got very angry and I had to apologise for that kind of behavior.

yup. many times. i had been a little rude when i was a teenager. maybe, back then, i always thought that i should be free to do things on my own. i forgot that my parents will always be a part of my life and that they deserve to be respected. and so, i regret those days.

Luckily my parents have taught me to express myself, so I have responded back, just with respect.

Not anymore, i get on great with my parents now im older but when i was a teenager i was horrible i used to scream and shout at them if i didnt get what i wanted.

yes. alot of time. i am not proud of it though. but there are just times when i can't help but to talk back at them. especially when i'm pointing out my side of a story.

there were times that we had disagreements with my parents when i was still in college. one of the things we argue with was about money matters. i insisted that the allowance they were giving me was not enough to cover my daily expenses in school. i explained everything to them but they were adamant. i answered them back with loud voice tantamount to saying that i shouted at them and they got angry and really mad at me. i left the house momentarily and went somewhere else. then i realized that i should have not done that (answering them back)after all because they were my parents. i was rude and disrespectful at that particular incident. so when i returned home, i asked them to accept my apology. and i regret doing that to them. they forgave me and i learned to a lot out of that experience. always pay respect to your parents. as the bible teaches us ,'honor thy father and thy mother.'

yes i have answered back but in my dreams.hehehe. its not that i am a very good son of my parents but sometimes i feel so irritated. but this doesn't stop me from disobeying them. i always care of them i am here because of them. when ever i don't like some habits i just go on saying yes yes or just walk away from that place till my head cools down. but as we all know human being are bound to make mistakes. i always respect my parent and never want to hurt them as they have given so much to me but i haven't.
