Being a first child and daugther, i felt like sometimes being pushed to take a side to my mother or my father, or worse take a side to children againts parent. Its rather confusing. At time, i just want to completely ignore the situation, but i just cannot. I felt that sometime my parent also needs to be told that their way of thinking was wrong and truly inapplicable to todays situation (my parent type is type of parents that still think that they are right all the time and we, as their children have to obey). have anyone ever feel that way?

..well, parents are tough and make mistakes at times.. however, you could speak to them by heart.. talk to them in a nice manner if you feel what they are doing to you is hurting you already or is wrong.. I believe even if your parents have a belief like that, they still have a heart to understand you especially if you know how to talk to them in aright way.. parents don't want to be overpowered by their children.. If you got angry to them, it will give a negative impression on their part.. it's really hard to be the eldest especially in our country where families are so tight.. you're luckier than me because at least you didn't take your parent's responsibilities to your siblings.. I have experienced that and it was really hard.. however, I took it positively so I was able to succeed despite of those sacrifices I had to do..
