do you listen when your parents give you sermons?

You have very patient parents. My parents told me to do something once. If I was foolish enough to ignore them, Mama had a switch bush outside the house that she broke very limber switches from and I learned very quickly to move as soon as I was asked. Daddy did not send me to my room, etc. He had a lovely leather belt, especially for driving home his point. I felt its whisper touch once and never cared to feel it again. We could get 'irritated' if we wanted to, but it better not be anywhere withing whistling range of my parents. The rest of the community was an 'extended' family and they, too, could punish or make sure my parents heard about my misdeeds. Yes, you have very patient parents. Maybe I should send them a switch bush to grow. lol

When I was in my younger years I didn't have problems like that because I listened to my parents and try to avoid their dislikes. As a parent now, I understand your parents' side. In order not to receive reprimands or what you call sermons from your parents, better obey their rules. Show them that you are a disciplined and a responsible person. If they see that you are doing right, what else can they say? Your parents just want the best for you. Be glad that you have parents like that. There are a lot there who are hungry for love and want to be noticed by their parents. Because of this, they do some bad actions so as to be noticed by them. They become juvenile delinquents. Well, I hope I'm not giving you another sermon here. You'll realize your parents' value and my point when you become a parent already. Happy Mylotting.

they listen when i'm the one sermoning and i interrupt when they are the one who sermons. lol... its true..

Hi Werty, Good day! I understand how you feel because I've been in this situation before when I was still a teen. I hate hearing my Mom telling and saying things to me over and over again especially if it's something that she wants me to do. It's normal for parents to be like that because they want us to grow responsible. I'm now a parent my self because I already have a 6 months old baby. I guess my son will be feeling the same way once he gets older and I started telling him that this is not to do and this is what to do. It's funny how it seems like it's just a cycle. Your parents used to do it to you and then once you become a parent you have to do it to your children. It does not mean though that because parents just wants to see our faults. My parents are very loving. If I did something wrong they would tell me that it's not right. If I did something nice they praise me and even give me rewards.

No they are on meds, lol. Some things make no sense lol.

When my mom is sermoning, I should listen cause if not she will get more angrier... So listening to her will listen her anger cause she think that you would learn your lesson...

It sounds as though you're not doing what they tell you to, so it's your fault they must repeat things. Do you & them a favor: Listen, do as you're told, & they won't find it necessary to repeat themselves. Your lackadaisical attitude is what's causing them to repeat themselves. YOU have the power to put a stop to their "sermons" by simply doing what is right. You'll find out if you ever parent a child that parents tell you these things because they're trying to make life good for you. People who are raised by parents who don't care enough to correct their mistakes grow up to become undisciplined, irresponsible people who irritate everyone, & thus are not happy. So listen to them, follow their advice, & all of you will be happy in a harmonious home. They're not just talking to hear their own voice, after all. Don't waste their wisdom which they obtained from a lifetime of experience; be wise, & get a jump on life! It's a GIFT they're trying to give you! Accept it with good grace, instead of pouting about it! Maggiepie GOD IS LOVE. Love is never easy.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I willl listen to my mom's words now. But when I was so young, I seldom listened to my mom's. At that time, I just usually do not listened to her. What she said, I will just did the other thing which is not allowed by her,which will usually made my mom upset so much. With the time goes by, I come to know that my mom is right. So now, I will usually listen to my mom, but she does not say that kind of words any more.

I don't listen to sermons as my mother, when I was a kid, would sermon me for anything, even for no reason. Her sermons consisted on repeating the same over and over and over again for almost an hour, so of course I disconnected and just waited until she would finish and leave me alone.

Hi werty, Just can't help but respond to your post. I am now a grandmother to two toddlers but i was once your age and i also hated sermons. When i became a mother, i seldom do sermons because i know how it felt to hear it. However, instead of asking my only daughter to do house work, i just do it myself. Now, my daughter grew up to be a spoiled brat, and i hated myself for not teaching her the right way. Every time i try to correct my mistake and talk to her, i always get a stern reply, which makes me all the more hate myself for not having taught her right. She always claimed she knew what's right and what's wrong, but she kept doing it wrong. Perhaps we both have a different perspective for right things, as well as wrong things. Or maybe during our youth, we really have the tendency to rebel against our parents. Now i feel how my parents felt when i was not a good daughter. And now, i understood why they needed to say all the sermons, and i also do realize that they were right. My daughter raises her kids the wrong way too, and i become helpless since i am not in the position to scold them.I just pray that they grow up with the proper attitude. Being a mother is the most difficult job in the world, for whatever mothers do, will always be wrong and unacceptable to their children at a certain point. Mothers are always the one at fault whenever their children go astray, and whenever their children commit anything wrong, even if they tried their darnest best to raise her kids. Compared to fathers, mothers are the most responsible for whatever their children has become. Finally, I've realized that what you did in the past will all come back to you a hundred fold. Sermons only come when we do wrong. If we are able to reassess our attitude and do what we are told, our surroundings would definitely be a lot peaceful.

not when i was young and very much stupid. in fact i miss them now since one day when dad was no where to be seen nor heard anymore.

in the first i listen, if all day sermons i don't want to listen up actually i want to go out and talking to my friends i want to leave that house immediately

oh yeah. all people when they were childhood have the same experiences as you.i think the parents get sermon to us only because really really Love us. there are The hide something of our parents. so for me i always obey what my parent order to me. frankly speak , i also feel iritated of my parent's sermon but so even though they are our parent. we must honor and never disappoint them as long as we live. the parent is really meritorious for us especially the mother because mother has given birth to our.. be A good son

i listen to them sometimes..but there are times i get sick of it since the sermons are always the same.. and i play deaf. but still, i listen to my parents because they have more experience in life and they know what's best for me..

Hi Werty, When my mom (dad never give me a sermon...) is in the mood to give me a sermon i just keep quite and listen. after she's finish then i say my piece. i don't want any argument. we were trained to speak out but in a dialogue style. so even now with my kids, we don't argue but we talk. it helps. i am proud of my parents. they raised me and my siblings right!

It's like listening to the priest during Sunday mass, I tune in and out of what my parents were saying. Now that I'm older, I find that there's a lot of truth and sense in what they were trying to tell me when I was younger. It may be irritating because nobody likes to be told what to do (especially the young ones), but later on you will realize that they do this out of love.

Well, I guess I'm not that faithful to carefully listen to what my parents have to say...I just let it slip by for most of the time because I have my own reasons...but that doesn't mean I will reject every advice they give me..

There were times that my mom gave sermons like every morning. It was our alarm clock when I was still in high school and I really didnt like listening to it. We didnt have a choice but to listen to it. My mom didnt give sermons anymore when we were older and it was a good thing cause we were already old enough to hear things like my mother's sermons. When things need talking then my father usually calls for a family counsel and that was better than a sermon.

Have to or else i will be beaten up. Just joking i love my mother so much that when shes trying to tell me something i make it a point that i listen very well. Specially if shes trying to sermon me because of a mistake that i did.I dont have my father anymore to do this to me thats why my mom is working double time to teach me good manners and how to be polite with people and how to respect other people's opinion .Thats why theres no reason for me not to pay attention. Although sometimes i really think its not my fault lol . Good day and have fun mylotting!

I do, but I don't make it obvious just not to make it longer. If I sense that the sermon will start again from the beginning, that's where I start to pretend, Im not listening. :D
