hello.thanks for your post.parents get angry because they feel that yor reasons are not good enough for them.At times your reasons are great but they think it is not nice because they think that you are not mature and knowledgeable to know what they are talking about. u know a prophet is not recognise in his own house. i think mothers should change and start to take most of the things their children tells them .like taking their opinion too on certain matter

I don't get it,too.(",) They asked questions but, if you answer and reason out, they will accuse you of being disrespectful and being ill-mannered person. I think, those parents here in mylot should express their views and insights regarding this matter so that in a way children will be able to understand and also behave the way they wanted.
I feel that parents don't like their children to give reasons because it might offend them knowing that they are much older but was not able to come up with the answer that their children give. This is just a thought...(",)

Well, my mom and i always fight over this especially when i was still in high school. She said i don't have the right to talk back at them. Expressing my thoughts or reasons is already considered talking back which means rebelling against them, when it is actually not.
Some parents have this connotation that children have to obey them all the time, without questions because they are the one who feeds them. How funny it is, when the children give reasons which actually makes sense, it makes the parent angrier.
Sometimes you can't blame the parent how they discipline their kids, they are only repeating (mostly) how they were raised by their parents then.

I think parents are scared that they will loose their authority over their children, so they close themselves for any ideas. It is not fair, maybe they were brought up like that, now it is in your hands to change this pattern, be different with your children.
