9 Responses to “How Do Some Parents Get Soooo Disconnected With Their Children?”
A lot of factors are involved here. It can be the parents’ fault or the child’s if he/she decides to rebel for no apparent reason. Peers can also have a lot of influence on a child. If the child has “bad” friends, he/she can distant himself/herself from the parents and vice-versa. Some parents just don’t care for their kids and let them do whatever they want. The question is very complex.
I’ve never been that way with my parents and my parents have never been that way with me.
You haveto remember that sometimes parents try to control their children and monitor them in any way they can. Having controlling parents is incredibly frustrating and i don’t blame children for feeling distant from their parents when they do these things. Some parents just won’t let go.
Sometimes they just have different opinions and personalities clash- they just can’t see eye to eye on anything and so alot of fights break out. You can’t blame anyone for having different views.
How wonderful that your family is so close and connected. Many families deal with poverty, addictions, overuse of televisions and computers, and mental health issues such as depression. Also, many families require that mom and dad both work to support their family so sitters and teachers can spend more time with the kids than mom or dad. Any of these common situations can lead to a disconnect, and it can happen to any family. Little hurts that don’t get resolved can lead to anger and resentment. It is so important that these kids have a forum to reach out for help and express their true feelings. It might not be easy to understand when your family addresses problems privately but it’s good to know there is a way that kids can safely vent and get answers to their questions. Enjoy your family, but please don’t judge others. You never know what’s happening behind their doors or why.
It’s simple really. Some parents forget how hard it was to grow up. Some forget the daily struggles some go through. Some parents think if they just pat their kids on the back and think their kids are just perfect, better then the other kids around, they forget the pressure they put on their kids. Then the kids become bitter and start hating their parents, cause their parents refuse to see how bad things really are. Or that’s at least how my family became so distant. A lot of parents really don’t care about their kids, and it’s really sad.
You are so lucky to have parents like that(:
My parents literally hate me, no joke. According to them I was a mistake, they wanted a boy……
honeslty the way I see it, the parents get mad about something and end up taking it out on the kids a few times then realize what they did and apologize. Until they end up doing it again, and the kids start holding a grudge about it
then the parents don’t seem to understand what they r doing wrong, eventually all they do is accuse the kids of being immature
Sometimes it gets so bad it leads to a point where everytime the parents to something, in the kid’s mind it’s like they are digging their own grave……lol with mine they are already 6 feet under
Let’s see, Some kids just dont like their parents, they don’t get along with them and they don’t see things on the same level, just because you and your “team” of people in your house get along others won’t.
Just wait till your kids becomes teenagers.
It depends on the situations..some of it is that the kids are disrespectful spoiled brats with no sense of reality and some of it is bad parenting. Sometimes it gets better with time.
