Do you get along with your parents?

I get around with my parents as well. They understand me and support me and vice versa. LAtely though I've been going through a rift with my mom. I feel like she's getting udner my skin all the time. Like she knows everything going on in my life and she wants to rule it. She just gives me unsolicited advice and she tells me what to do, what to wear, etc it's really annoying. So I'm trying to put some distance between the two of us. It's not really healthy, but it's working. :)

yes,i get along with my parents,because i think the important thing why we get along is because of our love for each other.my respect to them and my trust to them thats why, what ever happens they will alwsys be at my side to protect and guide me always.

I never felt my parents cared about me when I was younger but as an adult I realize that they did they just don't have a good way of expressing themselves to show how they feel . As an adult my mom and I still don't get along the best . I love her and I believe she loves me but we have nothing in common and are two completely different people . I always enjoy seeing her when she comes home as she lives four hours away , so I don't see her often but if were closer I don't believe we would get along as well as we do on her visits for the simple fact we usually end up in an argument even on her short visits . I am much closer to my dad then I have ever been in my life . Growing up he never talked to me unless it was to get mad at me for something . As an adult I realize this was more because of my mother . My dad has remarried and his wife is great they have been togehter for about seventeen years now and she is a firm believer in being there for your families and expressing how you feel about each other and she has brought my father and I together after all those years of feeling that he didn't care for me . My father and I can talk now without fear of him yelling at me but I try not to tell him to much because he has a bad heart and I am so scared to lose him now that I finally have the dad I always wanted ,because something will happen to him . I don't want him stressing and worrying about what is going on in my life and he lives so far away as well that I am able to keep most of it from him .

I used to believe we do. I get along fine with my parents and siblings. Everybody seems to be happy everytime we have this "family hour" wherein we rest from all other things that kept us busy like work and studies and just talk and get together as family. But well, things started to fall apart and it was really expected that this camaraderie and closeness I thought we had will fall apart as well. I guess it has nothing to do with age but it surely does got everything to do with situations.

I get along pretty well with my parents I suppose since I work kind of near them. Although I am not as close as I'd like to be since we are a very busy family, each member doing it's stuff and at the end, in dinner which is one of the few times we get together and talk about stuff, everyone is tired xD. I guess it's jsut bad luck, and me and my family should try to make more time to spend between us and share more as a family =).

I get along really well with my mom but I can't say the same about my dad. Sometimes he really gets on my nerves. I'd say that I get along pretty well with my parents compared to the teenagers nowadays.

[i]Hi Bri, My sis and I get along with Dad and Mom..We are really like friends this time unlike in our younger years where Dad was quite strict for us and more disciplinarian, but after we finished College, he started to loosen up and we became very very close! ANyway, neighbors will always appreciate how close we are and I remember before, we were only 4 in the house and our neighbors thought that we have visitors because we were giggling and laughing like we are more than 4![/i]

I never really got along with my dad until he was diagnosed with cancer and I helped my mother take care of him daily. When he found out that I was there for him day in and day out, we came to an understanding and became very close. Sadly, I lost him in 1993. My mother and I have always been close. She is my best friend. She is the one person I can talk to about anything and has always been there for me. She is a terrific mother.

I get along with my dad and step mother just fine. They are great. However as of 6mths ago I have written my mother off and no longer talk to her nor do I care to talk to her.

For the most part, I do. I tend to "butt heads" with my dad a lot, though, because we're so alike. I'm pretty close with my mom - I wouldn't say she's my best friend, but, there's a tight bond between us. Overall, my whole family gets a long. We do fuss and fight, but, that's normal :P

I get along with my mom more than my dad. When i was younger i was really distant from my dad coz he is so strict. He always punished me with every mistakes i did that it draws me away from him. But as i grow older i began to realized that he just did all that for my own good. And he started to change eventually and becomes more friendlier to us. But still i am closer to my mom coz i can say almost everything to her. I love my mom so much. She is not just my mother but i can consider her as my best friend too.

Yah i do. when im along with them it gives something that never be expressible in a word.

I don't get along well with my parents, I rather be with my friends!

Before i remember Mom as a strict mother with compassion heart, Dad is a loving father, love to go out and ate dine out. He too is a hardworking and great provider. Am i getting along with my parents, yes when i was still at my teenage years. But it slowly came to a point that i dont understand her, when suitors started to visit me, doubt and lies are tools approaching our lives differently. Then i just find myself out by eloping and be away for a year, and i'm back as a mother as she was. They have an open hands to welcome me, but not as much like as my Dad, a gap winning under this roof, later it covers with love, when grandsons playfully keep them busy. How do i get along with my parents, i only know i understand how they felt, because i know now to be a mother, and i wanted my child to be protected from what the world in giving them too much of technology that they should be having, just as Mom wanted me safe. When there is love at home, you are safe, when you are not in your home, and nobody's home, its much too worry to keep the relation going. The age gap is not a problem, its how you treat yourself to be in a family, with a happy family and an example of good family. The relation goes with communication , agreeable in all aspect, problems to share with, solution to keep things going with LOVE and Understanding.

well i alway felt my father did not love me, when i was young my father beat me he hurt me ,so bad to point i wanted to die.he beat me with fishing rod 2 by fours he wiped me, with drop cords all my life i felt pain when i finally left home i never wanted to go back i was gone 3 years never called home then one day which was mother day i went home they ask why i dont i come around i told them i was busy working i worked 2 jobs i kept busy so i could not think of all the pain that was inflicted on me.well at 26 i got married had my first child tried to heal myself mentally so i could be a good mother.then i found god i talk to god all about the beating i would awaken crying at night god heal me ,and made me whole first i confronted my parents ,then i forgave them they are old now i do all i can for them i love them both my father, could not show love because he never felt love so to make a long story short i forgave them ,we are close now and i respect them and now i can sleep at night because i forgave them iam finally at peace with myself.

i think i can say i get along with my parents pretty well. they are both retired and living with me now. i'll come back from work and we'll talk about things in general. most times they'll consult me about things they are not too sure about. especially when it comes to official letters and stuff, they'll ask for my opinion. i don't think it's about age as my parents are more than 30 years older than me. cheers ;p

My parents and I are okay but not so okay, were not that close. We talk and laugh at each other jokes but never really got the chance to do some serious conversations. I could say that my relationships with them are at the surface. It never got to the point like a normal parents daughter relationship just like the other kids. I never confide any secret or problems with them. My siblings have the same relationships with my parents; though my older sister has better relationships with mom and dad.

I was only one that got along with them.I Look after them till they both past away. The family calls me the nurse of the family which I enjoy my brothers say when ever they take sick{call me} thats something when I was sick nobody was here. o.well I am better now!!!!! crazydaisy

I've always had a good relationship with both my parents, but particularly my mother. There were four children in my family. My older sister and twin sister were closer to our father, and my younger brother and I were closer to our mother. I think your parents will always think of you as their child, but as you get older that parental attitude gives way to more of a friendship relationship.

hi brinbai i have always get along to my parents. both mom and dad. i love their company most. i think only this relation is faithful except any other. i use to share everything with my parents. as i can't get in contact with them as i m married in some other city. but i use to talk randomly. take care.
