My parents Parents are the ones who guide the child and teach him how to live successful life; therefore, we think that for a happy couple, and for a good education for the child, two people must share many similarities and must agree on each other’s decisions. My parents have been married 18 years and they are living a successful life without any problems and I’m really proud of them. However, they are two different persons. Their differences In view of life, their personalities and their origins. My mother is a housewife woman, while my father is an IT manager. For both of them, their family is everything. For my father, he’s strict when it comes to studies and being serious. He always tries to advise me and my brothers about our studies and our futures. He is too generous and he spends the money without limits. My father loves taking trips to any place, loves discovering and enjoying life with us. My mother has another view of life that one shouldn’t spend his money on whatever. For her, money is earned in order to be spent on something useful and it always takes us a lot of effort to persuade her to take trips with us during the holidays. My parents have a similar personality when it comes to romance, they are both romantic and interested to each other. My father always remembers and loves to celebrate our birthdays; in fact, he always gives us presents and surprises. My mother is the opposite, she remembers our birthdays, but she doesn’t like to celebrate them. My father has a different personality than my mother. My father is strict, but fun in the same time. He trains us to be discipline, serious and polite. He has some rule’s house like not to come back home late at night. He’s also sever when he’s angry. For my mother, she is a fun woman and she’s not too strict with us. As her daughter, she knows everything about me and I

    Many kids have their parents as theirs. I have both. I choose my dad because he is easy to talk to, he doesn't yell and is very understanding. He always spends as much time with me as he can. Many adults get upset very easily. Some let their children do whatever they want. I believe that both are equally harmful. I consider my dad as in the middle of the two. Sure, he has his moments when he's aggrevated, but it doesn't get the best of him. He takes me to Auto Shows, sporting events, and many other father-son activities. As you can see, my dad, as well as my mom, play important roles in my…

    Marital Paradigm

    I grew up in a joint family in India, which had 3 married couple and their kids. Marital relationships that I saw in my family were not great but not bad either. All the men used to work in the family business and the women used to take care of the children and the house. Many times my parents used to fight and my dad used to scream at my mom, but my mom never had the guts to say anything to him. I always saw that my mom was scared of him and I used to question myself why doesn’t she reply back. And being a girl myself I used to think that probably girls cant say anything when theirs husband are screaming at them. I used to talk to my mom and tell her why cant she reply back, but I never really got an answer. I always saw my mom as the weaker one in the relationship. On the other hand we had a family friend and both husband wife used to work as college professors. In their house the husband never screamed at the wife, I am sure they had conflicts but you could totally see the respect that he gave to his wife. When I grew a little bit older my mom started telling me how she felt. That was when she told me that she was a housewife and my dad was the one who earned in the family and thus he could talk like that to my mom. My dad always dominated her as he is the man of the family and is the one responsible for all the decisions of the family. And this was not only my parents I 4saw this trend throughout my family with the other two couples as well.…

    To begin, parents always support you. They believe in you, even if you struggle. They guide you whenever you need comfort. Parents also usually know more than you in almost all things, from academic subjects to real life situations. Since I am with my family for hours every day, there is time for them to show me what I might know and teach me what I don’t know. Whether I need help in math, or a task like putting on a tie, my parents will show me to the best of their ability. Overall, my parents have changed three things: my grades, my attitude towards my family, and my outlook on school and how to do well in…

    Some of the most common things that cause conflict between parent and child are chores, school problems, curfews, and appearance. Daughters who use more positive active behavior and less negative behavior perceived more open communication and dominance from their mothers, but for mothers it was the other way around. Mothers who used more positive active behavior and less negative behavior perceived less open communication and dominance from their daughter. All this suggests that interactions where daughters have a more active role are associated with more reciprocity and equality in exchanges, power and decision making (Collins et al., 1997; Russell et al., 1998). The negative behavior of mothers may indicate that they find it difficult to give the daughter whatever she wants. If the mothers used more compliance behavior they were seen as less critical by the daughter.…

    Growing up in a Pakistani household I was expected not to question or disrespect my father in any way. My father who was raised in Pakistan was a stern man, and stubborn at that. My father and I never really talked about anything serious. There came a point where I started to think and express my own opinions, which were different from what my father had. Over the past year I had become more independent of my father due the growing differences between both of us. Being raised in different societies caused a major conflict between my father and I, but now I realized that I could embrace a new culture, and still keep traditional values.…

When your father was sick and preferred going for alternative medication but you tried to convince him that what he need is to see a doctor.

Different people face different challenges, whether its the loss of a loved one or a divorce. In my case I grew up around my mothers family and visited my fathers side once a week. I remember dreading going to my fathers only because I grew so close to my mother, and I still do to this day. Technically, I have grew up with both of my parents, but it has been difficult since they are both polar opposites.…

    Moreover, my grandfather is not only my grandfather, but also my best friends. Indeed, he is very fair towards every family member. When I was a child, my mother attempted to make me to know more and more interests, like piano, dance, draw and something, which actually I do like. I felt uncomfortable about my mother’s action and always had conflict with her about this. When my grandfather noticed these things, he asked my mother and me together to talk about our own idea. I gave some reason that I was not interested in piano or something what my mother pressed me to do, while my mother said she thought these were the necessary skills, a perfect person must have. My grandfather worked like an arbitrator. He…
