do your children argue with you?

My 16 year old boy argues with me terrible, in fact he argues with everyone, he has to be right all the time. Even if he knows he is wrong he will still argue, he is such a torment to me!! But he knows I love him if he is reading this over my shoulder ha ha.

I don't have children but I have nephews and nieces. We do play and talk. And sometimes we argue too of course. Most likely we argue of toys, things to do, of who is to follow. They're kids of my brothers actually and they live nearby so usually we argue everyday if I'm home.

Oh, i am so guilty of this. I do argue with my mom whenever i feel she does not want to listen to me. my mom can be so hard headed at times and i have to admit it irritates me sometimes when she asks too many questions. i do understand that she is tired too and wants only to ask a few things.. but sometimes she gets to my nerves cause i wanted to sleep but she wouldnt let me cause she has things to say! i am able to manage her now though - i told her we can talk in the morning before i leave for work.

do you show that you respect your children for respect for parents starts with parents respecting their children? Maybe if you would give some credence ocassionally to their ideas thentheywould respect you and there would be a lot less arguing over everything.of course you want respect and you wantthem to know that what you say is correct but do you belittle them because that works both ways some times kids do havesome important things to telltheir parents and parents need to listen to them.I never had much problems with my son as I learned to respect him and he learned to respect me and he knew that I knew what I was talking about.

Boy do they ever. Sometimes i set punishments that they think are to harsh and that causes arguments. But they only engage in aguments that they feel they can win, and sometimes i let them, i feel that it's alright to lose some battles and win the war. But whats funny is my older kids where not that argumentive it's the last ones that will argue at the drop of a hat,{ My how times have changed.} I explain to my kids why i set rules and they usually see things my way. I tell them that without rules there's no boundries... and sometimes i dont tolerate any arguments.

Oh,I am so sorry because I often argue with my mom,especially when she can not understand my opinion,and still insist on herself's way to deal with something.But when I saw my mom unhappy,I will feel much self-abuse and regret after argued with my mom.So now i try to communicate with her kindly,I hope I can bring her happiness.
