Why do parents think they are always right?

parents have been thru more than wat we have, so they would know if your making the right choice or not, and they try to guide you to the right decision

not only parents, even normal people, when we have an opinion we think it's right. thus we tend to emphasize on it. in that similar way, i think parents tend to do that too. yes they lie and all and they try to be a role model but sometimes they themselves do not know tht what they're doing is wrong. like someone said, they try to ensure that their children are going in the right direction and sometimes they might forget tht their children might have their own thoughts and views. parents are normal people too. they make mistakes and like any others, some tend to be stubborn about it and stick to their own view rather than listen to others be it their children. like for example, my dad is really respected in the society and i find that there's nothing wrong with him. maybe except for the fact that he tends to give in to his children's whims. but outsiders tend to see where he has gone wrong and what mistakes he has done which we don't see. it's the same with parents and children. most parents love their children and just want to do the best for them but sometimes they tend to suppress the children so much that the children tend to feel suffocated and the parents have no idea about it. being a parent myself, i too lie to my child at times and feel guilty but sometimes, he can really be a bother(of course he's just 5) but still, i might tell a white lie which i don't think will affect his life and all.

parents are better,in laws are worse.even after marraige they rule our lives before marraige its parents.

They live for a longer time than you, and undergo more than you. So they believe they think more comprehensively and deeply than you. They persist they are right based on their experience. But they forget their child has their own thought and hopes, and their environment is different from theirs.
