A Parent's Disposition.

To make this short and simple, (straight to the point if you will,) parents in my opinion have a tendency to forget what it was like to be a teenager. Needing a ride every now and then, finding a job, school work, school drama, it's just not an easy job to be a teenager. Personally I would have loved to talk to my mom when she was my age. I would sit down, have a cup of coffee, and ask her this one question, “What kind of mother would you like to be twenty, maybe even thirty years from now?” Her response, more than likely would be, “Not my mother.” and this is what makes me laugh because she is EXACTLY like her mother.
Dear parents if you have ever said the following please note that this is not an excuse for anything please stop using it..: "I am the parent and you are the child, what I say goes." If your parents told you this statement more than likely it would only make you more frustrated then when you first started the argument. All I am asking of any parent is to be more understanding with your children while keeping authority.  If you don't want your child doing something like going to a movie, don't just say no, say why they are not allowed to go. EXAMPLE “I know you want to go and that you did everything I asked you to do ahead of time but it's too late and I would prefer if you just stayed home for the night, you can tomorrow.” DO NOT be a pushover. To end this I would just like to say, I love my mom but sometimes she forgets I'm growing up and she can actually talk to me instead of talking down to me.
