Living with my parents has never been the smoothest journey but we have managed to make it work. The article is right in my opinion when they speak on how the parents are the ones that end up feeling more upset than the child due to lack of care from the child. My whole life I have had a care free attitude with my parents when they began to get on my nerves and in conclusion would anger them even more. I disagree on the study where it states that “women tend to pursue more intimate relationships with more frequent contact-“, because my father in fact was the strict one that would always butt heads with me in the relationship. For example my father punished me last week, because I fell asleep during church. I would be fine with a small punishment but my father takes religion to an extreme at times. My father ended up taking my car away from me for a whole week; however, he let me keep it for school and work purposes. This sparked tension between me and my father. I have issues like this one at least twice a month and it seems as if this will always continue as long as I live under his roof. I also agree on the article where it speaks that tackling issues right when they happen and working the problems out is more suitable than ignoring each other for days. The parents have the authority so they would definitely not give in to their child’s stubbornness, so this means it is a never ending cycle of arguing.
