Did you listen to your parent's

When I was a teenager I only listened to some things my parents told me. I am grateful for the things I did listen to.

I was a good kid until public high school, then I got an attitude...I didn't start re listening to my parents until after I got married!

Hard to keep our kids in line? Not really... granted, my oldest is only six right now, but a lot of it really just boils down to having a good respectful relationship with the kids right from the beginning and recognizing that the relationship we have with our kids has to evolve as they get older. The relationship I have with my 6-year-old is a lot different than the relationship I have with her little sister who just turned 3. Looking at the way I interact with both of them has given me a lot of insight into why my relationship with my own mother and her husband was so bad. The goal of a successful parent is to raise children who are self-sufficient independent adults; my mother and her husband couldn't accept that. They needed to be in complete control. It didn't matter if I was seven or seventeen, and in fact they tried their hardest to maintain that control even after I was a legal adult. Seems like a lot of people are prone to forgetting that their kids are completely separate people with free will of their own...

As a teenager my relationship with Father was non-existent, and my relationship with Mumsy was quite volatile. I was a very angry teen. But, I did listen to her. We're really close now so it all worked out well in the end. :)

I suppose I listened to my parents until I got to my teen years. I would hate to be a parent now. I think it would be very difficult.

i did not listen them during my teen age but know i understand they are best.i love them..

I listened to my parents mostly . . . but there were times when they thought I wasn't . Maybe, just maybe we listened to our parents better the generation today because we feared our parents?

I did listen to my parents they both worked forty hours and managed to take care of a family.

I was a very good kid and teenager. My parents did not have problems with me.

For the most part I listened to my parents and didn't ever get into any kind of trouble. Of course when I was a teenager I had a bit of a smart mouth but no worse than most teens I guess

Yes, I did, especially when they discussed the importance of a good education. My dad encouraged me to play the piano, and my mother was my best friend. They were both loving and wise. I miss them terribly.

Yes I did. If I didn't, my mom beat the crap out of me.

I listened until I became an adult. Of course I would still accept advice.
