I'm my own person. That means listening to their advice and deciding when to follow it.

This is the bitter truth. Most of the time, parents are correct do you agree? Very rarely a parent give you a bad suggestion. At the time, we might feel that our ideas are better. But with time we realize that our parents are right.

Most often I do not follow their suggestions that is why we argue a lot.

I will take their advice under consideration but I will still do what I feel is best for me . Sometimes their advice is good but other times what they suggest is not something I am able to do as that is just not who I am or I don't agree with what they are suggesting but if it is something I have no knowledge about and am looking for help then I do listen as they know more about what I need help in then I do .

Well when I was younger I always did because I had no choice, lol. But now as an adult, they give me advice when I ask for it and I take it most of the time because they always have great advice. My parents always were a great example to me growing up so I really take into consideration any suggestions or advice they might have for me.

If you are alredy able to judge your parents suggestions, why listen to them? i think you should be matured enough to make your own decisions!!! right? I always would have taken advise from my parents if they would have been alive throughout my life. I feel they have seen the world more, then me, and they will always give me unbiased and honest suggestions the any one else in the world. So I always abide by their suggestions, and have got good resuts for it too!

Not always, I'm a bit of hard-headed.. lol :) But I do listen to their advices and suggestions, it's just that there are times that I need to make my own decisions. I know they are there to help us out and to look out for us but how do we learn also if we keep on following them. If I know that I'm right, I would actually speak out because I know it's true and right. It might as well depend on the situation where in the end we could say I should have listened to them..
