[quote=SHESGOTTOBE,270350]I was a teenager (16 or 17) when I had a big ‘fight’ with my father. He asked me questions in jest, I answered back. You see, in Asian culture, it is a no-no to answer back to your parents, but I took that risk just so he could see my point of view. I figured we couldn’t go on like that and I couldn’t afford to have bitter feelings and resentments towards him all my life, so I had to take that risk. After that, we had a much better relationship. He started respecting my decisions and never tried to dictate me. I have a full rein on how to run my life. I don’t think I failed him so far or he would never hesitate to tell me. I got my outspokenness from him in the first place. LOL! It is a good thing to be open and accessible to your children so you are the first person they could tell everything with. That way, you don’t end up being like other parents who don’t have a clue in what is going on in their children’s lives. [/quote]
