when parents say mean comments to you...do you care or believe it's true??

I admit my parents sometimes tell me the bad things they notice in me, but I never heard them tell those things to me in a rude way. I mean, when they noticed me doing some bad things, they will just talk to me nicely and tell me to start withdrawing from those bad things, and I appreciate them for being concerned for my feelings too. Coz I know they also know how would I feel if they just shout at my face telling me that am a no good son. My parents are really adorable, they just know how to raise us well.

They are my parents and they know me, maybe better than I do. But I know myself too. When they give a comment on my behavior which I am not well aware of, I believe them. But if I know that they're wrong I do not believe them and will stand my ground defending myself. I know that even they are more matured than me, they cannot possibly know every reason behingd everything I do, so sometimes, if I know they don't know anything with what I do and they give negative comments, I just let it pass. Enters my right ear and goes our of my left ear, LoL! I know Im a grown up girl, Ive learned to tell myself "You're a big girl, you should know what you're doing. If you don't, you can always ask for help." And that's when their words become significant to me. Of course I get hurt sometimes, but i have accepted it to be that way. Discipline hurts.

I'm glad you realize that sometimes the bad things someone says about you are true. A lot of kids would never admit that. We are supposed to honor our parents. They have a hard job in raising us and teaching us the things we need to know to make us into decent adults. Instead of giving them a bad time about it, we need to really listen to what they say. If they have a good point, then we need to see what we can do about improving in that area of our lives. If we made it a rule to never talk back to our parents and to show them that we are trying to learn what they are trying to teach us, they probably wouldn't be making so many mean comments to us.
