parents can be unreasonable,demanding,impossible to please and old fashioned. maybe you figure its just too hard to have agood relationship with your parents.
but in case you would like to try and improve things,here is something to remember:
more than anything,parents just want to hear their kids say "thank you".
now you may argue that your parents decided to have you,so its their problem to feed you,pay the bills and do all the stuff that parents do.
wheather this is right or wrong,most parents get frustated and angry that their teenagers take it all and rarely say "Thank you". for the last 10,000 years parents have been asking themselves,"how come my kids are so ungrateful ?if only they would say "thank you!"
parents of thirty-years old tell me, "im always helping my children out.i give them money. cook meals, baby-sit the grandkids-and they seem to expect it.they never say 'thanks."
so how do you blow your parents' minds ? next time your dad delivers you to besketball training,tell him, "thamks dad, i know youre busy guy and you have a lot of other stuff to do." he'll be delighted. he'll be amazed and inside he will say "its all worth it !"
whenever your mother,father, stepmother, stepfather cooks a beautiful meals, tell them, "that was a great dinner.thank you."
of course you can argue that is their job to serve you. you can also argue that they should start to thank you before you thank them.but now you know what's in their heads.
p/s;if you want to get a closer to your parents, try saying a few extra "THANK YOUSS"-and tell them why you appreciate it.you'll light up their lives.=)
