Hi Whistle 6, What parents want is to survive the years (and YEARS...and seemingly endless years) of volatile hormonal changes of their teenage adolescent children...because it's a scientifically proven fact (smile) that parents experience a phenomenal gain in IQ when such offspring emerge from those years, hopefully still healthy and intact in body and mind...
Hi whistle6~ The parent/child relationship is one of the hardest. Parents aren't handed a user's guide and/or an instruction manual. Every child is different, thank goodness, and every parent is learning just as the child about how to grow-up and work together. There are many rules that are ever-changing and some cultures teach things differently than others. Hopefully, all parties involved, teach, grow and learn together throughout their lifetimes.
