Relationship Tip:
Parents be parents. Do not give in to the pressure of being friends with your children. Establish healthy boundaries. Never give your children permission to disrespect you or your position.
Your role is to give guidance , direction ,leadership ,discipline ,love and support , whether they want or appreciate it or not.
Children of all ages please listen to me. When your parents give you unsolicited advice, guidance, and direction, at least listen. Here’s why:
1. They have experience. They’ve done what you are trying to do. They didn’t get old being a fool!
2. They usually have your best interest at heart.
They are not trying to control you or your life. They are actually doing their job and being what God has called and ordain and purpose them to be.
This is my truth.
Have a great day!

That is easier said than done. Although I am grown and a senior now I had a hard time listening to my parents. However I did wake up and smell the coffee before it was too late. And I believe I turned out pretty good. Some things parents can’t stop their children from doing in these days and times due to peer pressure, and the other many elements they are faced with.
I also believe that if the parents wake up and be parents and not friends with their children, keep them in church and show them a better way the world would be a better place. But the parents just keep getting younger and younger.
