When your parents trust you alot...

doesn’t that make you way too responsible if your parents trust you alot and they have told you right and wrong but now its your choice to make a decision if you are going to follow the right way or going to stay on a wrong path.. it is quite reasonable to argue that you always learn from your own mistakes but why do parents let their kids make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly?

why do some parents blindly trust their silly children?

why do children take advantage of parent’s trusting them and are scared to share it with them?

why don’t parents question their children about their daily activities and make an effort to inquire about their routine outside the house?

if kids dun feel comforting sharing stuff with their parents, whose fault is it and what could be done to make things better?

sometimes I just feel terrible for parents who trust their kids alot but in return these kids are shattering their trust for some quite silly reasons..how could you actually build a bridge between a child and a parent where both of them can understand eachother and are able to communicate about important aspects of life?

Re: When your parents trust you alot...

^ i think the best way is to communicate with the children from an early age. I see a lot of desi parents who have no idea what their kids are upto... where the fathers have no idea what their daughters like dislike or watever...

in my fam, we've always sat down at least once a week and just talked.. its not planned stuff, but we just get together and talk about stuff..

communication is the key (i think)

Re: When your parents trust you alot...

i think the only way alot of desi parents find out is from gossip being spread around.

i think parents have to set up an enviorment where their kids can tell them stuff, and wont be harshly punished ( cus than they wont tell them anything) but where they can discuss their problems..

i dont do anything wrong and my parents usuallly dont ask, but if they start asking too many questions its just strange.

LOL

my parents used to ask cross questions to leave us all embarrassed. i did not like that feeling of embarrassment and quit hiding anything. i started telling them what was upto. and now i think im addicted. i always am so keen on telling them my aily life but they are not too keen to listen :bummer: i think that’s cz i have a boring life and my parents like to hear some excitement.

Gemini - unfortunately, here's the bind parents are in. We love our children so much and we really want to think the best of them and unless we have a reason not to, we try to. Parents are people and are not all-seeing, all-knowing Gods.

You can't micromanage a kid and expect them to love it. There have been times that as a parent you can see something about to happen in your childs life and the best thing to do is step back, as much as you don't want to. I believe you have to pick your battles, if you fight or give advice over every little thing then then when something is important enough for you to give advice for, it is just another fight to them, not different from the rest. Part of it is that, too.

A part of being a child is trying to grow into your own identity and your own person. Children will hide things from their parents, especially if they know they wouldn't approve. You can have the most open and comfortable house, you still are not going to be privy to all your child does.

Sometimes you can do all you can with all the love in the world and they will mess up. It's a part of growing up for them. All you can do is hope that they avoid the things that will seriously hurt them and help them as much as you can.

It's not always the way parents raise the kid that determines how the kid treats them or acts.
