Parental love or loathe?


Overprotective, argumentative, and embarrassing. Sometimes parents can be an absolute nightmare. What's your relationship with your parents like?

Christopher

Christopher, 22 I get on very well with my parents, although I don't live with them and they don't live nearby. Even though I don't see them very often we get on very well. That's not to say there aren't any arguments though - for some reason they tend to always happen at the dinner table.

Sarah

Sarah, 20 I love my parents and speak to them about anything and everything. I think I've got a really good relationship with them.

Emma

Emma, 20 It's good.  We don't really have any arguments. I'm at university so I don't see them that much, so I always think it's best to avoid any friction.

Frankie

Frankie, 16 Our relationship is alright. We don't argue that much, but there are days when they get on your nerves, which I'm guessing is the same with all teenagers. I think our relationship is pretty decent. 

Aous

Aous, 18 It's good, but there are good and bad times where things can be bad and you fight a lot, but I'm sure that's pretty normal for most families.

Zannat

Zannat, 16 I live with my Mum, so it's an 'all women' house. There's nothing else to do but all get along, otherwise it would be hell.
