Conflict

If anyone says that they have never had a conflict with their parent, they are probably lying. Even the calmest, well-behaved people have conflicts with their parents.

My parents always do their best for me. I feel lucky and grateful for that. However, sometimes not only not good for me, but it also leads to arguments in my family. My parents say they know everything about me since they know what is good for me and force me to do things I do not want. It makes me feel like they are trying to control me. It is so annoying. And the thing that makes me feel unpleasant the most is how they keep complaining about how I spend my free time. I love to use my leisure time to draw. However, whenever mom sees what I do, she will say that I am not making any sense and just wasting my time. Drawing just for kids, I am not small to do that. They also get angry with me over small things. One time, I forgot to do the washing up, my mom got angry, she started to say how bad I was and that I did not want to help her with the housework. That's not true. I forget it does not mean I do not want to help her. There are so many things I want to say, but it is not easy so I go and apologise to mom even if I know she is in the wrong, to end any bad feelings between us. Unfortunately, that probably is not the best approach and usually ends up with you looking and feeling a bit like a push-over. Now, I try to make everything better day by day. I try to control my emotion and keep calm when I talk with my parents. Although it's still difficult, I feel better when I can express my feelings. It's so happy.

In summary, I think conflict can solve if you know how to make it easier. I hope you can find the best way to solve the conflict. After all, they are the reasons why you are alive and probably love us much deeper than we can realise.
