Talking to different people, I've found that many people are like myself where my parents have heavy expectations on what I should do with my life and career. Just wondering how everybody else's life is like and what your suggestions are.

.............................................................................

Firstly, this should be in the "AE" forum.

Secondly, in response to the poll, My parents have always been behind me in all my decisions. They will give their opinion and give me their point of view etc, and then leave the final decision to me. If they don’t like MY decision, then its just too bad... I'm living MY life... not theirs;)

My parents are prob one of the most laid back parents in the world. I never put expectations on me. They let me do what i went when i want all the time. They give me advice and are always honest with me on thier opinion. However they never force it. I am always honest with my parents. I tell them stuff that other people wouldnt dare tell there parents. Eg. I told my mum that I started smoking weed. She didnt catch me or me keeping a secert. I just told em.....Same with everything.


Pushy parents really do my head in...Esp when they are the parents of the girl im gaming :mad:

You missed the yes. I listen to my parents, they give good advice thread...

So your parents tell you you need to do something, and you scream...

AAAAH stop ruining my life!!!!
