Well, of course you should take your parents' judgment into consideration. You may not think they know best but on some factors such as what may be the components of love and what's right in a relationship is something they could have derived from experience. I'm not saying that they are to tell you what love is, but they may know and understand vital or rightful components in a relationship that you should consider listening to.

Parents should stay out of our relationships because it is our business; there business is not our business. Besides, our parents are already in relationships anyways so they should be dealing with there companion rather than ours.

One should be open to advice from parents and "our" business is their business as well. We didnt learn everything we know now on our own, they have in some way influenced the majority of what we've come to be. Futhermore, i do find it right to listen to your parents for the most part as they, from experience, know what is right and wrong.

You should only listen to your parents if you truly believe that what they're saying is true. It really depends on the parents and the kid. For me i wouldn't believe my parents because im mature enough to know the right guy from the wrong and they will mostly judge according to how they look or dress.

You should listen to your parents about relationships when they're trying to advise you on something that regards your safety. Parents have a keen sense on people and their motives.

1 point

When your parents take the time to talk about relationships with you, it's most likely something important and is meant for you to listen to. Yes, everyone should have their own opinions and the way to go about certain things, but everyone should also consider their parents' feelings and respect that. Also, if your parents feel strongly about something and express that to you, you should listen because they're really only looking out for what's best for you.

1 point

you should listen to them when they are not drunk and not trying to beat you up. maybe when they get teary eye and really are concern and you feel the need they should know.

I think we should only listen to our parents for certain things about relationships. The past isn't like it is today. Relationships where way different than what they are now. I think that We should only listen to our parents for things about sex. They probably no the best about that, because they've had expirience. On some of the other problems about dating i don't think we should pay much attention to them, because times have changed from when they had relationships.

um the only time i would listen to my folks about relationships is if the girl im involved with and her family is close to mines. with that situation i would be more cautious of the things i say and do and how my verbal/non-verbal actions can come across. I never been in a relationship like that but im sure if both families are close i wouldnt want to hurt someone who i can see my self having a future with

You should listen to your parents 50% of the time about your own relationship. Parents kinow what's best for you because they have experienced,know more or just know whats best for you. In the view of your own eyes it seems like you should only listen to yourself 100% of the time. It's your own relationship and I think you should feel free to love or like whoever your want for who that person is and what the stand for as a person/believe. Your parents can give you advise or their opinions but its up to you on weather or not you agree with what they are saying or follow through.

1 point

I think you should listen to your parents about relationships when you're not so sure about your relationship. You should also have to listen to them when they tell you that something is wrong, and you yourself know that it is wrong.

1 point

I think there are many circumstances that we should listen to our parents about relationships. We do not always have to take their advice, but we should always be open and willing to listen to what they have to say because they are older and more experienced in relationships and may know whats best.

1 point

You should listen to your parents about big choices, like having sex before marriage, marriage, living together, and having kids. They have already gone through that stuff and they'll know what's best for those kind of siutations. They also will want what's best for you and they won't give you any kind of bad choices that would be harmful to you in any way.

1 point

Yes, I think that you should listen to your parents about relationships espcially if you are in a bad relationship and you dont know how to get out. Although you may not want to listen or may not like their advice, they have been through relationships and could probably help you out.

1 point

I think you should listen to them talk about relationships when you hit a certain age to start dating or when you have a question about it.

1 point

You should always take your parents' advice into consideration because they have been through many relationships and heartbreaks etc. Usually what they say isn't what you want to hear, but always listen and take it in. Even if you don't listen to it, just hear them out.

1 point

i think that you should listen to your parents about relationships not just because their older but because they probably have gone through the same things that you've gone through. Most parents know whats right for there children and they want them to go down the right path.

1 point

I THINK we should listen to our parents about relationships but they problably know just about as much as we do about them but they problably have more experience, so they problably will give us some advice that we could use.

1 point

I think we should listen to our parents when something serious happens to us or like when were in a bad situation and we need that special advise on how to handle what it is.Asking your parents isn't that hard to do to me and they give me good advise anyways, even if i don't listen.:)

1 point

you should listen to your parents about relationships because they have gone threw it, when it comes down to having a problem with your boyfirend/girlfirend, or you dont know what what to do;or it has to deal with sex. It might be hard to talk to you parents about it, but they know the best for you. but then again your parents might want to keep you to close and tell you to stay away from the opposite sex, then the parent is being to ingnorant, and that is when you have to have some common sense on what to do.

1 point

i would say when it come to sex, you should listen to your parents 100% why? because they are older and have had plenty of experiance and can help you, guide you to do the correct desison and make the correct choice.

1 point

Personally, I feel like we should listen to our parents to a certain extent. I mean, they are older and have been through some things, but they might not know exactly what we're going through. I listen to what they have to say and take a little from what i've learned in the past and put them both together and see what happens with it. But, however, how are we going to learn and grow if we always listen to someone else and never experience things for ourselves and learn from our mistakes? You can learn alot by listening but at some point, you'll have to make choices on your own and no matter how much you listen, you're the one thats gonna be in the situation, not you parents.

thats what i have to say about it.
