of course you should listen to your mom, unless you really know she is telling you to do the wrong thing
mom knows best. and this is kinda vague... like what do you mean? (on what you should wear? on what you should eat? on who you should hang out with?..)
As a general rule; do what your parents want before you have your own child, do what you want when you become a parent. You may think you know a lot, but take it from an old man, you don't know jack. I didn't realize that until I was in my mid 30's. By the time I was in my mid 40's I realized how stupid I was when I was in High School/ College. Now in my 50's, it's all sort of painful to remember. And get this, all the crap that I thought mom and dad didn't know jack about? Turns out that they were right, about 99.9% of the time. How's that for a kick in the pants? And the best part of it is, that MY kids are always saying; "Dad, you don't know jack cuz you're too old already..." yeah right. Just you wait. Ralph
Although what Ralph said may be true for the most part, I think it really depends. I mean, there are many things that *parents* tell you to do that goes against your will. I've struggled through this the hard way from a girlfriend/boyfriend situation. Let's just put it this way.. my parents disliked the girl I dated and they constantly told me to wait until later to date, dump her, she's not nice, etc. etc. I mean, they obviously want the better for you and you know that, but as a human being, you can't exactly throw away your own desires for the desires of your parents, it just ain't gonna happen (some mommy's boys will think differently, of course). Thus, there are always exceptions and there are way too many situations where "not to listen to the parent" applies. It really does depend on each situation, but for the most part, the parents want the better for you, as Ralph stressed.
my mom is pretty good at giving me freedom, she wasn't too overly stirct with my academic standing. Now that I am in university she tells me to study what I want.
I won't listen to her for the sake of listening. If I happen to act just like she had told me to, it's because I see her reason, NOT because she SAYS SO. Tough call for her, really, since she will get quite mad over me not doing every little thing according to what she says.
i listen to them 95% of the time ( i dont when i get really pissed or when i want something really bad)
Depents what she want u to do. Because some time she right some times she not. If u think that the thing that u wana do, if its not a bad things. carry on! do what u wana do.-rockon
listen to mom but then at times sometimes its too superstitious then its not worth listening... so it truly depends
Depends on whether you have a smart mom or dumb mom. But for the average mom, the answer is still, ... depends For the majority of kids under 18yrs old or before they hit college, they should probably listen to their mothers. However, there are many "moms" out there, esp the young ones, who are more immature and less well read than their children. Example, a college grad majoring in finance or investment banking probably knows more about how to invest money better than a mother who has only completed high school. Who's financial advice would you listen to? Mom tells you to have your wife eat more pickled & sour foods so that your wife will be more likely to have a son. Are you going to believe that or science? Your mom tells you to control your spouses finances to deter him from cheating on you; that way if he does, you can take everything he owns; she tells you this because she had a bad relationship and went through a nasty divorce; are you going to listen to her advice? Or do you make your decisions based on YOUR relationship and YOUR circumstances? Just a few "off the top of my head" examples.
You should respect your elder. Even if you think they are wrong, listen to them first before deciding your choices to do as told or NOT.
funny question..of course we need to listen our mum but then we need to have some freedom too..if mummy is too strict then just do whatever we want to show that she can have respect from us but we need to keep our freedom....at the end , in despite all the argue...the relationship between mummy and children will be more fine
