Parents breaking up the friendships of they're children.

Tweet

Hello, I think most of us have been through the following scenario in our lives: you meet someone and you become really good friends with them. Then you introduce your parents to each other, and things start going down hill from there. First your parents don't get along, then they tell you that your not allowed to meet your friend, and eventually the great friendship you had breaks up. THE END. That's happened to me a few times but the last one was very painful as I had to break up with a good friend, and I don't think its right for parents to break the friendships they're children have, over private disagreements they have with other parents that have nothing to do with their children. Of course, if your dad or mum (or both), tell you not to be friends with another person out of concern for your safety, health, or morality that a different issue completely. So what are your opinions on this and where do you stand? Both as a parent, and as a child or teen. Should parents respect their kids friendship and not get in the way or break them over the fact they don't like the other child's parent(s) ?. Have a friendly day won't you :-)
