Question Posted Wednesday November 8 2006, 6:14 pm
15/f
My parents and I just don't get along anymore. My parents think that I'm a completely shallow, bitchy whore, and have no problem telling me this. I try to be nice to them, I do, but they'll start me off by giving me evil looks or using a tone with me before I can even say hello! They put all the blame on me, however, we're both equally guilty. But I just want to get along with them like I used to. How do you suggest I do this? Thanks in advanced.
Sounded like I wrote a question without knowing..
I have the same problem
And I know im doing it,
I just dont like to mix with my family anymore because everything I do/say turns out to be the wrong thing !
I know its me sometimes but Im not willing to accept when its not .
I have only one peice of advice..
Maybe 3 =P
1)Talk to them (I know i know EVERYONE says this ) But damn it works!
2)Slowly change the way you speak, and avoid obvious arguement times.
(By speak I mean, sound happier)
3) Tell friends to come over one day ...Then be happy and yourself and include your family it really works ^^
Good Luck ... Mail me for more personal stuff if you need to ^^ baybee_pickle@hotmail.co.uk [ LittleMooCow's advice column | Ask LittleMooCow A Question ]

I think you should start off my showing them you are more responsible. And if that doesn't really get you anywhere, try sitting down and talking with them, and just be straight-forawrd with telling them how you feel. If they don't give you a chance to do or say anything without them being top-notch and uptight, just keep your cool, (stay calm) and just act like you normally would. (And that doesn't mean being "bitchy")Maybe if you try talking to them, they'll open up to you and they'll let you know what's up without any yelling, screaming, or arguing.

if you don't come up to doing that, little things can help also like giving her a hug before you go to bed or when you say goodbye to her on the phone and say i love you or say thank you... parents like to hear that stuff. it loosens them up and i'm 99% sure that they will gradually respect you more.
and also give them a break beacuase being a parent is a hard job anf they get stressed (i'm not a parent but i just noticed)
