    you can listen to your parents' advice, but ultimately you have to do what you think is right. you can't live your life upholding your parents philosophy. you'll just become a puppet for them. listen to their good advice, but make up your mind yourself.

    Silly question. What you should do is have sex with her. Problem solved.




    j/k...if you're under 20, you should probably listen. Chances are, your parents are right. Or, you could screw yourself over and learn from it. But sometimes, you screw yourself over once, and you're screwed for life. Maybe it'd be better if you tell us what the problem is. Nothing like getting a good ol' rant off your chest on an internet forum.

    it really depends like - if its to do with your life then ie what you want to be go with your own choice unless you want to be a slob - but definitely listen to what she has to say and sleep on it - if its still not wat you want - speak to your mom and see what she thinks - she does only want whats best for you but she also want you to be happy too!!

    i would do wat i think is best for me, since my mom always supports me anyway, she doesnt command me to do this or that but she gives me her opinion on the situation and supports my decisions

    If what your mum is suggesting is reasonable, just do it. She wouldn't just tell you to do something to waste your time, what she tells you to do could make you a better person

    hmmm... the question is difficult to answer.. as to whether you should listen to your mom.. yes obviously listen to waht she has to say.. shes your mom and is probably lecturing you for hte best.. but whether to just do what she says.. it depends on the situation.. im not sure what you're discussing but i doubt that your mother is getting you to do negative things which hurt you..

    your parents will always be your parents, so you should listen to them no matter what. Most chinese parents are traditional, I know, but they always want the best for their children

    For me, pride and rebellion gets in the way. In the end, assuming that your parents have your best interest in mind, they are almost always right.

    depends on the parents. Respect ur elderly is a must, but some time parents are human and they are stubid and doesnt nessary gives u the best advise.

    I stop listening to my mom when i was 16, now that i am 21 i didnt regreat a single bit. My mom is asian, rasist, self-degrading, and uneducated. My only regreat is why i didnt rebel her and her ideas sooner. Yes most parents do what is the best for their kids. But not if they are too stubid or too racist. If you are smart enough to realize that your mom doesnt gives u the best advises or give you wrong advises, rebel her by all means.

    listen to your mum. mums (majority of them) will always want what's best for you. they won't do things to harm you. i would say from experience...it's best to listen to her now while you can or else it'll be too late and you'll regret it.
