I'm a foreigner. My parents are away from me. Most of the time I hardly reach them. So, I seldom discussion on the small matters with them. But I always consider their suggestion. Eventhough I sometimes doesn't like it, I know that the want the best for me. I seldom argue back as most of their suggestions are useful and reasonable for me. By right, every parents wants their children to have a better future or some of them want their children to be better than them. From this point, we could tell that parents will give a good suggestion but not the best. We run our live and that means we are the one who can control ourselves. We could take parents' suggestion and modify them to suit our way of live. However, Singapore lifestyle makes both parents and children have more time together. Saturday and Sunday is a day-off. In other country it may not be the case. I think by spending more time together, parents should already understand their own son or daughter.
In other view, parents' obsession will make them to overdo their children. Many of the parents have regrets in their past and do not want their son to repeat it. It's also the parents' proud if their children do well. In this case, we should discuss the matter together if you think their suggestion is too much for you. I believe that parents will understand our rebuttal.
Children, especially teenagers, are not comfortable to discuss personal matters. They are more comfortable to discuss it with friends. But I believe that parents will try their best to solve our matters. In fact, most parents are willing to know more about their children and if they couldn't get, they are willing to find out. So i believe family are the best friend.
