Talking back to your parents, is it really bad?

glamgirldoll you can have a difference of an opinion with your parents if you are respectful and not saying mean belittling words. they are your parents and yes they do deserve your respect even if you are right and disagree with them.Remember they are not old fogeys and should be respected. You get much further with sweetness than bitterness.

hi glamgirldoll, well for me, talking back to parents is not bad as long as you talk in a nice way because talking back to parents in a bad way is a sign of disrespectful. We should give respect to our parents because they are the one who raise us and they give us their unconditional love.

What exactly do you mean by "talking back"? There is expressing your views and there is sassing? I am a 42 year old mother and daughter. I do not back talk (sass) my parents. My children were taught that they have a right to their opinions and to express them.They were however, expected to express themselves without disrespect to me (or anyone else for that matter). We are all human and as such, we have different views on things. Respect should be given to one's parents. Respect should be given to all people.

Talking back to your parents is disrespectful. it is not something that should be accepted or pushed aside. If talking back to your parents is allowed once, it ill continue. it may turn the relationship between parent and child into something that they both could regret.

Nothing is bad when you talk back to your parents. It is just like expressing your opinion or feelings. What is bad is how you say it. Remember they are still your parents and they must be respected. In almost all cases, the parent and child are in a heated conversation when the child answers back. So when the child answers back, his voice is up and his temper is shortened. So in the eyes of the parents, this really looks bad. The best thing to do here is both parties should cool down first before the child speaks. In that way, tensions will ease and both parties can understand each other. Children need to talk back to the parents. How will the parents know what is it that their child is thinking if he/she doesn't speak up. If the communication between them is open, then their relationship will grow stronger...
