I wish I could talk to my parents without getting a lecture…
I know my parents love me, but we just don’t relate to each other… I wish my parents would trust my judgment… Why can’t my parents remember what it was like to be a teenager?… I’m afraid if my parents knew what I was struggling with they would be disappointed in me… Whenever I ask my parents “why” they accuse me of being disrespectful… I wish I could talk to my parents about serious stuff without it getting awkward… I just wish my parents would hear me…
I wish I could have a conversation with my kid…
that didn’t involve one-word answers… How can I help my kid realize their worth and potential?… I wish there was another way to motivate my kids besides grounding them… Why won’t my kids listen to me unless I raise my voice?… I know what my kids are going through, but they won’t ask for my advice…
