How important is your parents opinions/feelings to you?
Posted on 24 February 2009 by admin
Hi,
I was just wondering how much people valued their parents opinions. For example, would you continue to do something you personally disliked, just to please your parents?
I personally feel that you've got to live you're own life, even if it does mean upsetting those people that you care about.
It depends on the person,i personly am just like you, i believe its my life to live, they've had theirs and its not up to them how i live my life or what i do, but in all reality they are still your parents and if you dont want them to run your life that ok, just fine, but you still need to respect them,because one day they will be gone and you will miss them 
just try to show them you care, im sure they understand when you dont wanna do what they want you to do 
thats exactly wat i am doing….studyin to please my parents..my parent's opinion is of highest importance…its the purpose of my life to satisfy my parents…if i cant do that for whatever reason, ill try and kill myself…and i am serious..

Even the people who do not adore their parents will let their parent's opinions impact them. Even if they don't do what the parent desires, there will always be that voice in the back of their head questioning them, taking their parents side.

Well I can honestly say that my father's my best friend.
He wants me to attend Syracuse so that I'll be within a reasonable distance from him. I'm obviously looking but it doesn't stop me from checking out other schools, ya know?
If they really care they'd never be upset with a final decision of yours for too long.

Mm.. yea one ought to have his/her freedom in life but there is a point in life at times when you need someone to suggest you if what you are doing is really what you're supposed to do or not..
thats when your parents come in and at times their opinion matters a lot as they are experienced people..
not that they should rule over you or make you do anything but their suggestions and opinions should also matter to some extent..

I think we all value our parents opinion. We have grown up looking for ways to please them. We like it when they find pleasure in what we do. And for the most part, our parents usually have our best interests at heart, but that doesn't mean they know what is in our best interest. Just because they like doing something or wanted to do something doesn't mean we should feel or do that. We do have to become our own person. I found out myself how my father didn't want me writing articles but yet I think in his own way he was proud that I put things together good enough to make sense of what others passed over. Was it worth it? I feel it was necessary to be true to myself, but I also quit sharing what I was doing, that became his loss. I don't think you can go wrong as long as it's right for you. The other thing is that if they are upset by it I'm sure there are other issues that they having otherwise why would they stand in the way of your happiness. I know my dad did.

I am a grown woman, I would listen and perhaps even consider their ideas, however, ultimately will make my own choice. I will not do things simply to please my parents.
