Arguing with Parents

[Daniel Peterson]

I'm in a situation where I constantly argue with my mother. I love her but do not like her personality. She is a great mother at times but we simply do not get along. I am a Christian and she is not and she will constantly kick me while i'm down saying "you call your self a christian" etc... and for some reason this gets to me.
I want to know if there is anything I can do, it seems we will never get along but I feel it is not my fault. I know we are to honour our parents but sometimes I cant help but to argue back especially as anything triggers an argument.
Id love some tips on what to do. I am able to live with my father but this will be a dramatic change in my life and has to be thought through first.

If you try to be honest and God fearing , you do bring honor to your parents , your situation will change soon enough .. Keep and develop the best attitude you can , it will serve you well in the future .. Spend some time in Psalms and Proverbs and let wisdom begin to sink in .. Heck , I love you and hardly know you ..

Also , try to look at all situations as adventures , you know it will lead some where , so fear not ..

You are 18 too, right? Will you stay in your town next year for your studies (if you start them next year of course)? In your case, I really think a little distance could help you. Of course you love your mom, however to live in an another place, and to be independent can seriously help you to step back and look at the situation.

That sounds stressful. Idk what to suggest. I really wish I did. If you're 18 you might have some options but Idk how many. My sister turned 18 right after starting grade 12. She got along great with our parents but if she didn't she wouldn't have had a lot of options bc moving out definitely wasn't feasible. Maybe just try to not let her bug you. Easier said than done, I know.
