Do you have a Good Relationship with your Parents?

I have an excellent and cordial relationship with my mother (my father passed away 3 years ago) as well as all my brothers and sisters, and their families. In all these years, we've never had any fights, quarrels or feuds among any family members. We love and care for each other, and are constantly in communication with one another. If I need any help or advice, I know I can call upon my family members and they will render their assistance. That's because of the great and warm relationship that we have upheld all these years amongst ourselves.

it is not the case with me, i have a happy familyand i am lucky to have so i have a strong bond with my parents and brother

Although both of my parents are now deceased, I had a really wonderful relationship with them. They were good people. We never really fought; I was brought up in church with the commandment to honor your father and mother. We were very, very close, and I still miss them to this day.

my relation with my parents isn't so good.they don't like my future husband even we have a child together and didn't renounce hoping we will get separated some day.all day ong they have bad words for him.and also for me although i live with them and my lover lives with his parents.i and my girl are leaving from their income.i am thankful they feed us and give us a part of home but there is no peace and harmony between us.me and my mom actually weren't ever friends.they love my child but our relation is most of the times tensionated

well in my case though am close to my mother..we dont have too much conversation to my dad for some reasons..but its not a big deal for me coz i now even were not close i know he loves me..and talking about my mom i have great mom who always comfort me if i have some problems...arguing is part of our daily life..its nature to every family to have fight..especially when they didnt like what u are doing..ofcouse they have too correct it...have a good day

I have a fairly good relationship with my mother. We do argue at times but we always do okay. As for me and my father, we are no longer speaking to each other. That's because he does not know how to be a father so I gave up on caring.

I have a good relationship with my parents. I always discuss with them the problems i face in my personal and official life. At times i also argue with them and fight with them and that too upto a limit. When it goes beyond a limit, i myself apologise to them.

I have a great relationship with my parents, with my siblings too. I will always be thankful to our Lord that I have a close family relationship. We do always support each other and we are always there for each other. :)

I thankfully have an excellent relationship with my parents. Now we are not the Cosby's and no where near the Osbournes but we have an understanding relationship, we communicate openly with one another, and we share laughs and stories with one another. I love my parents and although we disagree and argue over sometimes simple things as you stated in your discussion above its not for long and for the most part we're back to our loving selves in no time.

My relationship with my parents is good. Though I didnt grew up with them. My grandparents raised me and took care of me since I was a child. That is because my Father works abroad to support my needs and give me a good education. I am now with my father because his contract abroad has just finished and I am happy about that. Since I will spend more time with him. I think every families has their own issues. It is how they manage to solve it and build a harmonious relationship with each other.

Hi LightningStrike! I do get along with my father very well and when my mom is still alive we did have a very wonderful relationship. We do have minor disagreements but nothing that can not be forgiven and forgotten. And I am glad that you have a wonderful relationship with your parents too. Have a nice day and take care!

Parents.. all they want is the best for their kids even when you grown up. At times parents acted that they know everything and they start telling things which you cant accept it. This happen to me many time.. well what i do.. i'll be nice and pretend like i'm taking wat they say into consideration.. well that makes them feel better.. i just do this.. simply to stop them to keep on saying the same things.. I love them much and they love me too. So we as an adult we think wat is nice for them and wat makes them happy.. Later, once u have an opportunity.. explain to them bout wat they say.. the good and the bad... always start that with complementing of wat they said first.. then go with ur view.. but ake it short.. and change the topic.. otherwise they might feel embarrassed of what they said.. and that might make them to debate with u again...hahaha

Although I have generation gaps with my parents, we also have good relationship with each other. Pahaps, the culture is an important factor in dealing with the relationship.

no i dont talk to them, they anoyy me sometimes but i have to live eith it lol

I always had a great relationship with my Mother and we were more like sisters. I fought like cat and dog with my Father for many years, and my Mother said it was because we were too alike. Also my Father loved me too much. He knew how he thought my life would be much better and he was determined to force me to do everything he wanted me to do and the arguments were very fierce. He was right about a lot though. He wouldn't let me go to university and the secretarial course he insisted on actually has given me a good living and now I am disabled I can enjoy the internet much more because I already had the skills to utilise word etc. We did not know that I had a degenerative illness and it would almost certainly have prevented me going into teaching as I have mini sleeps and falls - imagine that in the classroom of today. I had to nurse both Parents and extremely upsetting all round to see them deteriorate but at the end of their lives both my Parents were my best friends and I miss them so much even now. Nobody comes close to their love, support and unselfishness. I know I was extremely lucky, some of my Father's own brothers and sisters were terrible parents to their children but mine always looked out for me.

yes i believe i have a good relationship with both of my parents i just wish they was better grandparents to my 3 boys.

I do get on well with my dad not my mom.It has always been like that for years.t\Though now i have a grown up son.She is very selfish,adamant and in her own world.

yea..I have a very good relationship with my parents..:) although i get nice scoldings from them..:D see..its always nice to give way to others and try to adjust wiht others.. then only both can have a good relationship..though i get scoldings, we argue but we have a very good relationship and also i lovveeee them alot.. and ther is no way of jealousy n all as u mentioned coz they are my parents and am their daughter..:P i enjoy every moment with them..!!!!

Hi LightninStrike. I can say I have a good relationship with both my parents. I can talk to them openly and they supported me in anything I do.

I had a good relationship with my parents until I decided to not let them control me anymore. I haven't talked to my dad in 5 years and my mom almost 6 months. But you know what it is easier without them telling them what I need to do with my life.
