One of the commandment of God is to "Honor your father and mother". Parents are not perfect. Some parents are so brutal when disciplining their children. Some are fighting, yelling in front of their children. Some are so strict and some never care about their children. These are some of the characteristics of parents which children cannot understand and most often have a greater effect to their personality. I've been working at the guidance center and these are the common problems of the students, their parents. How about you, has there a point in your life that you hated your parents because they cannot understand you? What did you do?

Hi rosey19, I don't hate my parents...I just don't like it when they don't trust me enough when it comes to accomplishing things or making decisions in life. All my life I just followed my parents, I go to their liking even on the choice of clothes to wear when I was still a kid until I reach my adolescent stage. Because of that I had difficulty making decisions myself when I'm alone. THis is a bad habit. In my case I just do hope my parents trust me more because I'm alread old now and I know i'm at the age where I should make the decisions to myself already. Nice topic you got here rosey, happy mylotting.

Hi..I agree with you that we don't like when someone doesn't trust us especially our parents. But, I suggest you that being positif thinkng that maybe it's the way that your parents protect you. No parents want something happen to their kids and just show them with something that you can be to trust.Happy mylotting !!

hello hapsicordable1!
thanks for sharing your experienced. it is really hurting if somebody don't trust us especially our own parents. it's good to follow them but sometimes we need to prove to them that we can stand on our own. we should not be dependent to them always. that is why now that i am a parent i practice my child to be independent. i already give them assign task to do so that when they grew up they can manage their own.

hi zhizho!
yes no parents would want their kids to be in harm, they always want for the best. but sometimes as kids we don't understand that intentions. we need freedom in everything that we do. that is why we tend to hate our parents but have the kind heart to understand them soon you will realize that what they are doing is for the best.

well yes once i also started thinking that my dad hates me ,he use to beat me ,throw me out of the house..& many things ,....but now i realised that all that he used to do was for my welfare. sometimes they have to take strict action as we dnt understand if they speak sweetly with us....they realy care for us & our futhure...they want use to be responsible & want use to make tough .so that any point of time if there is hard days on us we can fight those day...they cant be with us for whole life. so we should understand that as no 1s prents would like there childs to fail at any point of there life. so instead of taking there strict action negatively we should take it positively & try to understand them & make them prould...i use to hate my dad but now reaching @ 21 . i realized why he use to beat me scold me thats was for my good & today i can prouldly say that because of that strictness of my dad im graduate & earning a good some...u might feel bad now when they scold but i ur near futhure u will realize that they where right.

very well said viral_marand14!
it is really normal for kids to hate parents who are always scolding, yelling, beating but sooner or later they will realized the positive point that parents want to impart, that is to discipline and guide to the right path.
i hope kids will better understanding about this kind of situation.

Hate, maybe is not the word I´d choose, but, I have always had crossed fellings about my mother, because, I felt, that all of her care and love go to my older brothers, and somehow, it always made me feel so insecure about myself and my posibilities in life, it took me years to left these feelings behind, and, I am afraid, that they hurt me still.

i understand your feelings albto_568.
it is the normal feeling when we can see that there is favoritism in the house. maybe you should talk to your mother about how you feel about her. so that in due time you will have a good relationship with your mother. i think the only problem is open communication between you and your mother. that is why as a mother now i learn the importance of communication between parents and children.

I never hate my parents. And I will always love them forever. I know that there are some kind of parents which have bad personality. I can say that bad personality is always affecting children. According to me, the parents are the most responsible for this. Because, when a man and a woman agree to be married each other, they will carry the same, burden, responsibility, and emotion, including love. So, if something bad such as fighting, yelling, and no attention to children, there have to problems at the parents.
I admit that every parent also a human, which carry probability to be wrong. But with the maturity, the parents should face their disadvantage with more ethics.

they are not to be hated because they are the one who gave us life on earth. good for you because you have a good and responsible parents but there are also parents who are irresponsible, selfish and greed. they don't have time for their children.

Well, I never hate my parents before. Although I always have arguments with my mom, I never hate her as I understand there are differences among all the people since I was young. Moreover, we are different generation, and how we were brought up are so different, so I really respect the differences between my parents and myself. But also, I always share my opinions with them, and hence sometimes we have arguments.
I am actually very lucky as I have good parents, they really love us very much and also treat us good since we were young. Even my friends always think my parents are good to us. So, I can't find any reason to hate them at all.

i also have arguments with my parents before in terms of house rules. that is why i hated when they punished me for disobeying them. but i can assessed to myself that it was not actually hatred, it was just my misunderstanding on how they discipline us. of which i realized when i become a parent. that there is a need to discipline the children.

Hi..I never hate my parents because my parents are so good parent.Yes, sometimes something make me doesn't agree with them but it just about misscommunication or the way to teach us are not right way.I know there are not all parents are good but the point is as parents, we have no get education of parenting yet at school before we being parent.So we teach our kids base on our experienced.

yes it is not really easy to become a parent. it has a big responsibility. in order to have a successful family it should begin with how the parents are living for their responsibility and the way they brought up their children. parents should have a parenting background in order to understand the family life.

i never hate my parents as i know that what they do is just for my good sake only. though sometimes we did not appreciated it coz we only listen to what we want. i know sometimes they become so over protected but they only do that coz they dont want any harm for us. someday if we become a mother too then we will realize it.

I don't think anyone should hate their parents just because the parents punish them when they do something wrong... in India, as almost everyone gets the love of both the parents throughout their childhood, they don't get to blame parents for anything... if one parent is strict, the other is caring... so we get a mix of both the things from 2 different people in the same household...
when i was a child, i used to think that my dad scolds us a lot and punishes us when we did something wrong... and on the other hand, my mom used to love us a lot... so we loved our mother more than our dad... but that doesn't mean i hated him... now when i am quite established in life, i think this is because i got those punishments and never trued to do those things again otherwise my life would have beena hell by now...

for me i was very thankful to my parents that even though my dad was so strict but i realized now that all that he has done for us has a positive effect on how we are today.
because now that i become a parent i realized the importance of open communication to my children. i explain to them why i punished them which we agreed if they will break the house rules. you just have to give the reason behind it so that the children will understand why they are punished.

i came about this idea based on the problems of most students in our school. most of their problems comes from their parents.
anyway not all teenagers realized the importance of their parents. they can only realize it when they become parents. that is why for those who are going to parenthood, just prepare yourself to a bigger responsibility ahead.

my mom and I were talking about this the other day. She has a friend that when her kids were teenagers they would tell her that they hated her. While me and my siblings had our fair share of arguements with our parents one thing we never did was tell them that we hated them. I don't know why excatly maybe because we knew that would be crossing the line or maybe we just knew we really didn't mean it deep down we were just upset.

I love my mom. She has always been there for me and supported me no matter what. We also had our ups and downs. I believe it's something normal. Trusts come after you reach your twenties. Alot of teenagers do mistakes and stupidities. I was once a teen so I know. I remember that when I was angry i just wanted to run away. But as time passes, the anger eventually goes away. Now that i am 23, i understand why mom was like that to me. Now that I am a little more mature, I can understand things i couldn't when i was a teen. In life, we must be patient, happy and positive. Furthermore, isn't it enough just to live? We live because of our parents and I think it's enough for us to bow them in gratittude.

Hi rosey
You are right you have to honour your father and mother as they are next to God for all the children. They play a very important role in a child's life. According to me there are children who are frightened to their parents as they are strict towards them. In my case I am very lucky I am always loved by my parents and never faced the situation that I hated them. Have a nice day.
