Dealing with Impossible Parents.

1:29:00 PM

There comes that time in all of our lives when our parents become too demanding and unjust, and all that you've done to impress them in the past—and succeeded, too—is forgotten; because of a more current, meritless argument. Forgotten; just like that. No matter what you do, they'll never be satisfied.

And you can't win the verbal battle.

If you can relate to the carefully written outburst above, considering the guidelines below might be of help.

ONE: Take a hike.

You need to get up, grab your phone and headphones, and leave! Go outside. Visit a park or call your friends, the ones you know can be of help in forgetting about what transpired between you and your parents—whatever it takes to get away from the scene.

TWO: Determining the cause of the argument.

They're your parents, you have to know what caused them to suddenly erupt. On a piece of paper, try listing down the plausible contributors of the arguments that you've had with them. Try creating solutions for the problems you pen down.

THREE: Calming down.

That's right. This should be number one. The first thing that needs to be done is to calm yourself down. You must not let out of your mouth anything that you might regret saying later.

FOUR: Laying low for a while.

Some parents don't focus on remembering how their child disappointed them. They forget, and then put in efforts to break the ice. If your parents are like that, then you need to stay away for a while, to let them cool down. Once they're fine, show up around them deliberately, let them start the conversation you know they want to start with you.

FIVE: One mistake is enough.

You need to make sure that you don't annoy them more. Do all you chores and try studying when you know they'll come to check up on you, just to hasten the process of the argument falling into oblivion.

SIX: Don't hate them.

We can't choose our parents; if you find yourself stuck, if you think you can't get along with them no matter how hard you try, you must not let that get to your head. You must not start hating them. Just calmly ask them for the space you need.

SEVEN: They're not as bad as you think.

In the end, everything works out fine. All you have to do is give time some time.

We all have parent issues. Every problem has a solution. Finding that solution is our job. And it's not that hard, if you try.
