"Honor thy mother and thy father"

being 16 years old, i know that most of the kids that say that their parents don't listen are the ones that have grown up getting a majority of what they want, and their parents finally cut back on their gifts/freedom!. a respectful child is that way from the beginning; parents shouldn't spoil their kids with EVERYTHING that they didn't have, like jkk kkk above!. kids need to know their boundaries!.

now a parent being totally negligent to their child is another story!. a parent that ignores what problems a kid may have in school or with friends or anything else like that most certainly does NOT listen to their kid(s)!. they should take time out to be a true parent and care for their child!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think parents are sometimes guilty of forgetting what it was like to be a child/teen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you sound like a 13 year old child mooping over something your parents said to you!. anyway, if your children are wise, than posibly, but most kids (assuming your talking about kids) arn't as matured as adults, for they lack expirience in the real world!. i know this because i am a 14 year old child myself, and i don't mind!. one day i will have a say, when i know all i need to know, and am wise enough to effect the world in a positive, as apposed to a negitive way, and then i will do my part to help the world!. in the end, its all i really can do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes I don't listen to my boss, my friends, my spouse, and my parents!. Why should my children be an exception!.

Most parents are only "guilty" of being human!.

And since those children will grow up and be ignored occasionally then as well (including by their own kids), I think the bigger crime would be to always listen to children and never teaching them to cope with that situation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just as guilty as the children are who dont listen to their parents!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

parents should know better!. they should listen in order to be respected by their own children!. they should listen the message the children tryin to say and by listening to them,hopefull u can teach them to listen to u!.

Every child will cause a problem, adults should know how to handle it cuz we were once young!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In today's society, it's more a problem of the children NOT LISTENING TO THEIR PARENTS!!! Way to often, there is not enough discipline!. The parent is scared to not let the child have what they want!. The children run the house for the most part!. At this rate, we'll have plenty of spoiled brats as "adults!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

why the 'F' should i listen to my children!?

what worldly insight are they going to give me that will radically change my life!?

are they going to impart divine wisdom!?

are they going to somehow find a way to ease my life by offering some kind of profound insight they have gathered through their great journey of 'their' life!?

are they going to somehow free me from the burden of responsibility that i have as a respectable and contributory individual in this society!?

well, until they do!.!.!.chances are that they are going to have to listen to me!.

i will listen to them day and night when:

they stop playing with their x box
they stop talking about how cool they are with their friends
they pay ALL the bills
they pay the mortgage
they pay the car payments
they pay for car insurance
they pay for the gas in the cars
they pay for the car maintenance
they pay for home insurance
they pay for home maintenance
they pay for health insurance
they pay the phone bill
they pay the cell phone bill
they pay the water bill
they pay the gas bill
they pay for the groceries
they pay for their own clothes as well as mine
they pay for their own shoes
they pay for their ipods, psp's, cell phones, back packs, books and sunglasses
they wake up everyday at dawn, commute to a high stress job, come home, cook dinner, do the dishes
they clean the f'en house up every f'en weekend
they mow the lawn

of course, you know that the list is much longer than this!. this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is required when "I" will listen to a CHILD everytime! until then, they need to shut the "F" up and do what is told to them without any back talk, smart talk and resentment!.

josh,

you sound like a smart kid!.

stay in school, work hard, listen to your parents (if they arent crazy crackheads) and you will go far in life!

i bet you see so many kids your age that are:

lazy
spoiled
stupid
feel entitled
have too much material everything
lacking in everything that makes a great human being
mouthy
angry
defiant
rebellious without reason
abusive
self centered
egotistical
self praising

and of course, the list goes on and on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are words I missed, there are times when I was otherwise occupied!. Ultimatly they learn their own lessons anyway!. It is impossible to predict which word or words will be crucial to their lives!. Do your best and dont look back!. Dwelling about what you should have done, wont change what you did!. But learn from your mistakes, dont just forget the past!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not my parents

they just keep not listening and not listening as words come out of their mouths!.!.!.!.i used to be able to just take it but now each time the words get sharper and heavier, and longer

its' drivng me insaneWww@QuestionHome@Com

i see it more like a circle!.!.
if the kids don't listen to the parents, of course the parents will think lesser of them (dont get all defensive parents, you know its true!)
and once they have thought lesser of them, as another person said, "why the 'F' should i listen to my children"
so since the kids dont listen to the parents, the parents are discouraged from listening to the kids!.!.!.
this however also discourages the kids from listening to their parents even more
with thoughts such as "well they dont listen to me, so why should i listen to them"

so basically, it is both child and parent that are at fault hereWww@QuestionHome@Com
