"Mother knows best, listen to your mother..."

I treasured every piece of advice my mother gave me when she was alive, where-as I don't give a flying **** what my dad has to say about anything in my life. His opinion means less to me than a stranger's on the street.
 
  • My father couldn't have given two shits about me when he was alive, much less impart advice that would help me in life.
  • My mother is barely understandable 90% of the time, considering she is drunk 90% of the time. I don't care for anything she has to say, for she is a mean, terrible person.
I know that these are terrible things to say, but before my dad died, he truly did not give me any advice to remember him by. Nothing. He was an idiot whose love only extended to his wife and his alcohol. He made it clear that he hated me, and I tried my best not to hate him, but I do. I love him only because he was my father, nothing else. Maybe it's not even love, maybe it's just a paternal bonding. Nevertheless, we never had a relationship to admire.
As for my mother, she's simply a narcissistic alcoholic whose only desires in life are to a) have more alcohol and b) avoid any responsibility that comes to you when you're the mother of four children. She's always been like this and will never change, I think. Just like my dad. It's fair to say I have pretty severe issues with my parents, I guess. I love my mother, but... she is just a bad person.
 
I love my parents, and I trust them, too, but I don't usually listen to the advice that they give me. Why? Because, to be honest, their advices seem pretty useless to me most of the time. The only time I listen to their adivce is when I like them.

My relationship with my mother is mostly a constant contest of showing off one to be superior to the other in any way imaginable so any kind of contact we have whatsoever is always competitive to the smallest extent, yet for some reason I still love her as she loves me.

As for my father, well we get along just fine but he's been avoiding some very important questions that I've been having for the last 10 years now but beside from that we don't mind each other too much.
 
I'm quite close to my mum so I will take her advice into consideration most of the time. But she does still try to use child logic on me and try to manipulate me into not doing something she doesn't like. For example she's said to me at one point that I've had a bad memory all my life because I spend a lot of time on the computer. So yea, I have to take everything she says with a pinch of salt.
I don't take advice from my stepdad because he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and the majority of his advice is him shouting at me or telling me to shout at someone else to get my way.
 
My mom is almost always right about random small things like cooking and stuff lol. But I never ask for her advice for something else, cause it would just feel weird. I don't ask any parents for advice, really. I ask friends. My dad is alright though. I'll usually believe him about certain things, cause we tend to have the same views and a laid back nature. I ignore everything my step dad says because he butts in randomly about irrelevant things and I just do not care lol. He's so rude. One of the reasons I was happy about living elsewhere was because he wasn't there, but now I'm back, so I have to put up with it again.
 
My parents' opinions matter quite a bit to me, so yes, I usually listen. The only times I don't is out of sheer laziness haha. Asking for advice is out of the question, though... it's not that I don't trust my parents to ask, I just feel awkward asking for it regardless of the person I'm talking to.
 
LOL
how cute is this

i seriously do not listen to her at all anymore
ever since i grew up and got the brains to think and have my own opinions on things
i realized how she is for real

and mentally she is just screwed up for 95%
i know i cant blame her... her father was a horrible to her , so i have heard and concluded out of many stories she told me about him
she has many scars all over her from what she all been through

i try to have sympathy for her all the time

but in a lot of cases i cant cope with her anymore

she feels like almost everything she sees or hears is a personal attack towards herself.... she hardly ever truely listens to what i actually have to say... she said she finds it weird parents say ''i love you'' to their kids daily
etc etc

My parents don't give me advice - they tell me what I have to do, how I have to be, how I'm feeling - they think they know me better than myself when in fact they don't know the first thing about me. I love them, but I wouldn't take their advice on anything. They have no clue what I want out of life and are basically giving me advice that will put me on the agenda they want me to follow.
 
I trust my parents and my mom gives some good advice, but I never go seeking for advice from my parents as it can be wierd for me. As for my dad all he talks about is religion and politics. Even if I start talking to him about something else he will find a way to relate it back to either one of the two topics.
