...if your parents do not approve of your lifestyle, beliefs, and choices??? How would you handle if they tried deciding for you? And what would you do if they interfered constantly in your personal business???

Image you have 2 beautiful sons. Just remember your parents wants what is best you and your kids. There have been many generations that don't understand the next. You do the best you can..they will understand oneday. Keep up the good work...tell your parents you undserstand where they are coming from and you appreciate the advice.

Tell them if they don't get off your ass you are going to pick the worst convelescent home you can find for them when they get old. Worked for me.

SH!T LONGHAIR!!! Thanks Pjinkys, but my parents don't know how to communicate with me. I tell em I understand, but they argue with me about everything in my life. And hey, I really don't have much of a life right now, because they interfere in every bit of it.

And hey, I really don't have much of a life right now, because they interfere in every bit of it. I do understand..respect has allot to do with it just like LHB said. They still see you as their little boy and don't know how to respect you. Many families have this same problem. Some parents have a problem with letting go of their kids and letting them grow up and make mistakes. Believe me I've been there..

I don't have this problem, but I'd have no problem sticking up for myself if I did.

...if your parents do not approve of your lifestyle, beliefs, and choices??? How would you handle if they tried deciding for you? And what would you do if they interfered constantly in your personal business??? Depends how old you are and where you live. If you're under 18 or still live at home, you're kinda obligated to play by their rules. Is your lifestyle self destructive ? Might not be a bad idea to listen anyway. They most likely wouldn't say anything if they didn't care. If your all "growed up" and on your own, it's all up to you but they are your parents and hopefully you respect that.

I stick up for myself about it, but I'm serious, they try to keep me from getting back out on my own, having any relationship unless it's with someone they approve of (so the chick hasta be perfect) and I like older chicks in their early 30's, from going out to places that don't aprove of (bars, and so on), and they go through my messages and mail. That's way too much!!!

So, I'm trying to get out on my own again, and have been. But, they try to leave me with no way out.

i cant really answer what I would do, i only got my grandparents really, but i do seem to make my papa mad all the time with choices ive made. I guess finally we have come to the understanding that we both do things eachother doesnt like....but we love eachother anyhow. and if he gives me crap today...i just give him crap right back. Ive learned more to blow him off, of course I still value his opinion. hes an old man...hes smarter than me in SOME ways

Grow up and grow some balls. Be yourself, unless of course you're a mama's boy and give a rat's ass. Evolve and mature. Get with the program!

I told my parents what I feel, and I'm not letting them run my life anymore. But, still, it's hard being such a d@mn disappointment in their eyes. But, oh well!

Dude, sometimes you have to limit contact with the people that drag you down. I remember explaing to my parents that after a certain age, we make our own decisions. We live our own lives, the same way they did. And that we live with the consequences too. Doesn't mean we don't love them any more, or are "doing this" to get back at them. This is how I chose to live my life. They got cool with it. Made it so much easier when my Mom passed, there was no unfinsished business between us.
