If your parents disagree with you how do you respond?

I would try to convince them about my view point and explain with plausible reasons. If they understand, then good, if not, then I simply go about my way and do what I want.

If your parents disagree with you on a particular view what do you do? Do you obey what they say or do you follow your own way? What do you think is the right thing to do?

Disagreements crop up between the parents and the children mainly due to generation gap. Children being in the later generation their way of thinking differs from that of the parents. Its up to the children to understand this vital point, and try to bridge the gap. Its not difficult to convince the parents if the younger generation exercise patience. A dialogue in an amicable atmosphere will set right the things.

in family matters, I shall abide by my parents decision. For example, if my father does not like to go to some of his relatives's marriage, I shall follow suit. But I shall not even consult him about other social matters with which family is not concerned.

If your parents are confident that you are mature enough to take your decisions, its good. The clash will never arise. But, its up to the children to create that confidence in the parents. Then the parents will never in interfere with your activities. In fact every parent wishes that their children should act independently.

I believe in convincing with my view point but also accept the authority of elders in home and seniors in office. There cannot be always similarity of views. But there has to be method for deciding.

Opinions differ, but, solutions are also there. One can come to a decision agreeable to both by talking in an amicable atmosphere.

Consultations are held for getting at a unanimous view but when you do not arrive at a consensus, the majority view or the senior/ elder's decision prevails.

Of course that is one way of avoiding the stalemate. This practice is widely followed from Parliaments to corporate conglomerations.

I try logically to make them understand but sometimes proved that they are right from their angle as they also give some logic.

If some one is right than reason that parents will disagree with him, and if parents have some misunderstanding than we can convinance them easily.

Parental decisions are not sacrosanct and it all depends the kind of moral dilemma you are in. If your take on any issue is based on conviction born out of enlightenment derived out of true education, you must stake in whatever you have to convince them to your way of thinking otherwise it is good for both to part ways!

I never said no to my parents. Both of them are no more in this world but I do not remember a single instant when I said a direct 'NO' to them. Even if I did not agree with them at any point, I tried to put my version but without forcing it on them. I always obeyed to their wishes to the full knowing fully well that they knew better than I did.

Lucky you. Until the age of 9 years I used to nod my head whatever my parents say. Seeing this, my parents, especially my mother said, ‘ Don’t you know anything other than nodding your head?. Don’t you have a spine of your own? ‘ This started working in me since then. Right or wrong it has become mandatory in my family meets to express one’s own thoughts. Whenever my suggestions are right, my parents used to reward me with a warm hug. My parents always insisted that one should have their own thoughts and they should be expressed freely before them without fear.

Seems like the only honest answer I have come across so far!!! :cheer: :laugh: :evil:

Parents are well wisher of child. They always suggest good for their child. But some may be possible that we will not agree with them. Than it better to convience them with cool mind.

I try to convience my parents. I share my views and my thoughts with them.

That’s what is needed. By convincing the parents with proper reasons, every parent can be made to turn towards their children’s point of view.

I am sure you make them understand your points and they agree with you in some cases where they think you are firm and just on your points.

I avoid arguing in case of a stalemate with my parents. I take time till the dust is settled. My version that was not seen in its real perspective by my parents earlier in the heat of the moment will surely consider my point of view.
