Did your parrents influenced your big decissions in life?

Yes my parents are my guides my teachers and almost my everything when it comes to life. I would do anything for them as they have always given me whatever i have wanted. I know that there is no way i can repay them back but still i wish there was something which i could do. The least of which is see the smile on their faces and know that i am the reason or the cause of that smile. Cheers!

I think that it is so normal, this happens when you likes a lot of respect in their comparisons, but be careful on the type of decision. Our parents are the people that love ourself and they never want to see us suffer. i believe both also correct to trace some limits. The choices that you must do in your life are yours. Have a nice day.

Of course .My family is as traditional as other Chinese families .In our country ,the father generally dominates the family .Any big decisions are about to be made by him .So are my dad .When i graduated from high school ,i wanted to go to an out-of-town university .However ,my dad couldn't stand getting separated with his unique son .So he made the decision for me ,which made me stay in the same city over 25 years .Although he wanted to help me ,what he did was harmful to me ,which brought about my fragile charactor .What's worse ,my dad has not noticed it yet .

yeah. i always ask for my parents' consent and opinion in almost everything. it's because i'm still dependent on them. besides, they never tell us to do something that will be the end of us. they're just through with what we're about to go through and what we'll go through so they know what to do better than us. i also learned to live the way they want me to, so no problem at all. i ain't a rebel.

My father basically forced me to go to college. I wasn't ready to thrust myself into the work force just after highschool so college was my only choice. I was hesitant but my father pushed me towards it.

My parents definately influenced my big decisions in life. Let me exlain. I was raised in a "Cleaver" home. My mother was a stay at home mom and my father worked in a factory. We were a christian home. Went to church every Wednesday and Sunday. My father controlled the finances in the home. If us kids needed some money, we would have to approach Dad and explain the reasoning for needing money. Mom would often sneak us things. When we would go shopping she would get always buy us something and would always say "Now . . .you can't tell your father I bought this for you". At the time, I never thought is was bad. I felt great that I was getting that new shirt or nice dinner. As I grew up and got married and developed my own family I knew that how my mother brought me up was wrong. I shared with my husband how my mother was deceptive. Sure enough, I began doing the same thing with my children. No matter how close I am with them today, my up bringing has played a major role in the decisions that I make today.

Yes. I really loved my mom very much but she could be extremely controlling, and I hate to admit it, but in my later teen and early twenty years, I was very unsure of myself and very easily controlled. I listened to her about my college major and also about the purchase of my first car. As it turned out, I would've been better off in the long run had I stuck with my original plan for a major as there would've been better job security for me and better benefits. About the car, to this day, I regret that I didn't get the one I wanted! All that being said, my mom really meant well and was looking out for my best interest which was why she was so pushy, I guess. But it taught me a good lesson in life and as a mother myself, I feel I encouraged my two kids to make their own decisions and I feel that I supported their decisions even if I felt I had a better idea.

Well, maybe on a subconcious level, but not really on a concious level in my case.

Not really, because i think you need to do what you think is best for you in your life, you have to do what you like, what makes you feel happy, but you have to listen to your parents opinions. Yes, some of my decisions, were taken with my parents, because were some important decisions, but generally i always made a decision after what i felt.

Here in India we regard parents as next to God.Why they are our Gods in flesh and blood.We have seen many bad children and never bad parents.People as such may be bad but the same people as parents are never bad to their children.We all grow up with this back ground.Therefore as God is never bad so also parents are never bad.Here the parents care for their children from childhood on ward till they themselves die.When they care so much should they not have a say in major decision of their children That is how we think.Parents educate children and arrange their marriages and take care of grand children and render financial help if need be,leave their entire earning to their children.In such a situation I feel parents have every right to guide and if possible take decisions for their children and we find no decision of the parents is against the welfare of their children.....

There are times when they are the ones who decide for something in my life. As a teenager, I understand that since they are my parents and all they wanted is for me to have a better life. I know that they will not lead me to something which will make my life difficult. But in terms of my dreams/aspirations like the profession that I like in the future, they leave the decision to me because they know that it's my right to choose my career. :)

for me, yes they influence me to my big decision my life, because they are the one who gave me more advice because of they have a lot of experience than me, but still the major decision is still on me.

I would say no, my parents wanted me do other things, we even got into an argument, at the end I pursued my own dreams and so far it has been going great! However they taught me that I should be cautious about my choices.

Yes, but it was in the past. It happened before marriage. They were always trying to influence any decisions in my life. But after I have my own family, I tried to closed all the possibility for them to do that. I have my own way and I think I am good enough to decide what I have to do in life.

Every action I do, my parents did not prohibit, during the act of what I did right. My parents only gave advice, and also to tell good and bad action that I would do. I always consider the advice of my parents. Indirectly, my parents influence what I do.

Sometimes, because i know they know what's the best for me.. And I think it's a good thing to do sometimes ..

My relationship with my family is pretty good as well, but I think they never influenced my decisions. It's like they know that if they did, there were a high possibility for me to quit, because my motivation wouldn't be enough. When I had to choose university, my dad wanted me to study Philosophy. I liked the subject so much, but not enough to make it the base of my life, plus I was worried about the working opportunities. In the end, I chose Foreign languages, and my dad was satisfied with that. Of course parents may be responsible for some of the biggest choices in your life, since they are always there to give you advice or, like you said, just with their presence they push you to think what would be better to do. It's not weird I think, that's the role of good parents.
