I love my parents but there are times they just get on nerve.Today morning once again i had fight with my mom So i am just going to live with my aunt for next 2-3 days.I just need to go away from my parents and home to get some peace of mind. What do you do when your parents get on your nerve.They keep asking same question again and again and you dont have different answers everytime.Do you stop talking?Do you just go to live with friends or relatives for few days and ;leave your parents alone for some time?

Sometimes, they get on my nerve too. They always nag me. They seem to never get pleased with me. They have so many high expectations and that put so much pressure in me. When I'm really annoyed, I sometimes answer back. Other times I keep quiet and refuse to talk to them. I never leave the house. I just try to avoid them when at the peak of my anger so as not to cause more arguments.

As a parent of grown up sons, am always engaged in battle of the tongues with them. Their words can be so hurting that often leave me in tears. I envy my neighbour's children who are so respectful of their parents and would not even dare to utter any words that might hurt their parents feelings. I guess it is the generation gap that has gone wider and there need to be some form of understanding from the younger generations on their elders and to put respect above all else.

Hi Piya... This happens only because of the generation gap. It is well known fact. When I used to stay with parents, we had fights almost everyday. Then I left my town for education and came to Pune. Since then, I have settled here. I completed my graduation and started working. Everything's fine with the family now. Your decision to go away from family for some times is really good. The distances work magically, at times. And in your case, that is definitely going to work. Don't panic, you're not the only one like that. Every youth has to go through it at some point of time... Take care...

Hello Piya, I usually had cold war with my mother and it ends up sometimes staying away from here for a week. We usually argued in simple things and it got bigger because she doesn't closes the issue. The usual cause of our arguments was my unexpected pregnancy. Until now she didn't accept my situation because she wants me to marry a rich man and not to be a single mom. She wants to get rich like her friends, travel abroad, and by all stuff that she wants. And to have all of those, she wants me to get married with a rich man but I didn't. Instead, I got pregnant and the father of my child leaves me eventually. Now, I am the only one supporting my child and she got mad when she asked for money and I don't have anything to give her.

My mom lives in another country so I live with my dad. I really can't go to another place when we argue. There are no arguments in fact because I'm too scared to say what is on my mind so it's just him talking about how imperfect I am and all I could do is too sit and listen. I can't wait to live with my mother.

You are from Asian country.Do you people live with your parents even after crossing 20 year of age?Or you are still financially dependent on him? I can understand its too much stressful to live in such a condition.

I sometimes make arguments with my parents especially with my mother whom i always talk at home. What i do is just silence and never said any word because i know it will hurt her feelings more. I sometimes get to the point that i want to go anywhere but its always failed. I just need a peace of mind and waiting to decline the flooding of emotions. Then when i felt it i would let myself to talk to her and she also did and then all of a sudden everything is fine.

hi! Always remember that parents are your best well wishers and they always think about your welfare. You should not get annoyed with you parents so much that you start living with someone else. Won't you come back after few days to face your parents again? Take it easy Piya and throw away the anger.

I can easily answer this since I am old enough I do not live with my parents but still they get on my nerves and then I do not call them for a few days because all I would hear about is the way I messed up my life.

The same thing I do with my partner: ask them why they keep asking, since they'll just keep getting the same answer. It's a parent's job to be annoying. That's part of being a parent...

Leaving our parents alone is not the best choice i think.. Parents always thinks about us and they want us be successful in life. Try to understand your parents when ever they scolds you or asks you something...

My parents tend to get on my nerve too, especially my Mum. When she's not happy about something, she'll always blame me or my Dad for it. She also tends to ask a question over and over again, especially at the wrong times. I don't want to get disturbed when I'm trying to study for write on Mylot and then my Mum would pop out of no where and start asking the same question over and over unsure of my blunt answers. When she gets angry, she won't stop going on and on, I simply just stop talking and let her vent until she runs out of gas It's better not to answer back or else it will get worse. My Dad just ignores ehr or even worse sometimes makes fun of her which makes her even more angrier! I'm quite use to it, it won't drive me to the point of leaving the house.

sometimes, parents can be very annoying. they poke their noses in everything we do. we sometimes become their object of anger when ever they are not in the right mood. and when we come to our boiling points, we do feel like shouting at them, right in the face. we all been teenagers before, and soon enough, we will become parents our selves. when the folks are angry, just let it go through the right ear, and get out from the left ear.. don't take heart and no hard feelings. be cool..
