Parents vs. Children

Parents are special people; especially to their children. They play a vital role in the lives of their children.
Children have always thought that once they reach the age of 18 they are finally on their own and their parents will leave all the decision making to them. This is not true.
Parents will try to continue making the decisions until the child puts their foot down. Sometimes even when the child attempts to put a stop to it their parents still don’t listen.
Children are left with how to deal with this situation without hurting their parents. Everyone knows that most of the time the parents are just worried and want what is best for their child no matter what their age is. However, this tends to put a damper on the child’s life.
This situation can cause different problems. It can cause problems in the child’s relationships or marriages. It can cause big issues between parent and child in regards to they way the child lives. These problems can develop into problems between the parent and child to where they stop speaking and they both miss out on things they shouldn’t be missing out on.
There is no easy way to deal with these issues. Families need to really think about what their views are compared to others. Not every one, including parents and children, are going to believe and think the same way.
Attempting to see things from the others point of view might help. Also, parents need to give their children the opportunities to make their own decisions even if they are the wrong ones. The best way a child can learn is from their own mistakes.
