No matter what age one is they always have parents. Well, unless their parents have passed away. How well does everyone get along with their parents?

My Mom and I have always had problems. When I was 8 1/2 her and I even saw a social worker for a while to work out our problems. We never really did though. We don't fight or anything, we just are not in a place in which we can talk about anything beyond small talk. My youngest sister and my mom have really bad fights though.

My Dad and I were really, really close until about the time that I started junior high, then our relationship went down hill. In high school we could not even be in the same room for five minutes without a fight starting. Since I turned 21 seven years ago, my relationship with my father has improved, but we still do not see eye to eye on most things.

My relationship with my parents is better then the relationship that they had with their parents. My Dad and his father never even talked to each other.

My parents and I don't get along good either sometimes we can when my brother isn't around if he's around we can't.

TheGreatPretender · 10-23-2004, 05:20 PM

We don't get along that well. They don't exactly support what I want to do in life.

Michael [hXc] · 10-23-2004, 05:45 PM

Fairly good.

My mom and I always get along really well and we're really close, except I'm fighting with her now. Sometimes we really annoy eachother and don't see eye to eye on things, but normally we are really close and we do almost everything together

My dad and I never got along and we always would fight and insult eachother to no end. everything we'd say to eachother would be a fight, and holidays were always ruined because of us fighting. but since last year it's improved a lot and we're getting along much better

So overall my relationships with my parents are good, better than average.

i loved my mom so much. and believe me i'm not just sucking up to her cause she's gone now. i had a special connection with her that i won't have with anyone ever again. my dad has been treating me like **** ever since she died and i'll bet he's always wanted to but didnt want to have to explain it to my mom. he's always way too hard on me and i've never really liked him. he choked my mom about 5 years ago and she took me and my brother away from him to a safehouse for a while and they almost got divorced. i'm not even gonna go on about how much we hate eachother and how much he pretty much he knowingly ****s up my already-bad mental/emotional disorders.

that's awful how your dad treats you

i'm sorry you have to deal with it

spunkygirl · 10-23-2004, 07:09 PM

I get along great with my dad, but we hardly ever see each other, he's always traveling on business, I see him maybe on Thanksgiving or Christmas.

My mom passed away, but my stepmom and I get along great now, we never used too when I was younger, but now we've reached a new understanding, I love her now like she's my mother, but she knows she will never replace my mom

Moonlight Lady · 10-23-2004, 07:27 PM

I get along great with both my parents.

Janice · 10-23-2004, 07:45 PM

Appreciate your parents while you can. I lost both my parents two years ago, and life simply isn't the same without them. The love of a parent is unconditional and shouldn't be taken for granted.

So true Janice! My dad is 82 and in very ill health right now. My mom is 75 and is taking care of him. I get along very well with my kids. My husband and my kids get along pretty well but he never ceases to tell them his opinion! Which causes some problems.

Anyway, I have always gotten along with my parents simply by not making waves. Now that I am older I let them know how I feel which doesn't always go over too well! No matter how old you are they are still your parents.

Kay Scarpetta · 10-23-2004, 10:46 PM

My mom and I are.. more like friends. Just like, small talkish stuff. I don't tell her anything. I have other people to talk to. But I do love her.

My dad can be out of my life forever for all I really care. And I'm so sick of everyone giving me this "love your parents, they won't be around" ****. Yeah, that's great that you had a close relationship with your parents. You want a biscuit or something? Some people just don't get along with their parents, simple as that. Some parents just treat their kids and families like ****. I'm sorry, but I can't imagine loving someone who treats you like crap half the time.

I could not have stated it better.

Yep. Every parent/ child relationship is different. Not everyone has parents they should "appreciate" But I'm very very lucky that I do.

I'm assuming that was directed at me since I made the statement about appreciating your parents. I wrote that with the assumption that people would know that of course I wasn't referring to dirtbag parents who abuse their kids emotionally or physically.

I realize that nobody should appreciate anyone who treats them horribly, even a parent. I figured that was a given and that I didn't have to explain it.

So there you have it.
