How do I deal with judgemental parents?
What do you mean “other parents”? Is it a typo? Well, whether your nightmares are about your parents or “other parents,” a bad dream is a warning signal from your subconscious that you feel under attack. And you also feel that your family is under attack. Try to find out who these enemies are. They may be actual people, in which case you probably need to distance yourself from them, or they may be representations of your own tendency to judge yourself and your family. Perhaps speak with a therapist. Nightmares are warnings—but about what? You need to know. Good luck!
Why are parents so judgemental and hypocrites?
Because parents try to view everything according to their perceptions. The way they were born and brought up, the way they lived, they expect us to be like that only. But most parents do not realize that times have changed now. The mentality and the thinking of people have changed quite a lot since their times. I am not saying that they are wrong, it's just that such theories are no longer feasible. But do remember one thing, Parents always do want the best for you. They would never think of any wrong for u. If there is a problem, just sit with them and sort it out. I am sure they will understand, if you explain with love. Good luck!
What is it like to have judgemental parents?
It sucks.I can never do anything right for them. When I’m driving, for example, I can do everything perfectly, then my father says “You didn’t get into the left lane fast enough”. It’s an annoyance and it’s harder and harder to try to impress them. I’m practically a disappointment to my parents with school grades, difficulty in understanding things, and well, that’s how I see things. Many people see it differently.Having Judgmental parents helps sometimes because I’m constantly keeping myself in check. But with them judging every aspect of my life makes it less appealing to live with them everyday. This is why I’m glad I’m going off to college in eight months. Can’t wait for senior year to end.If you have judgmental parents, and you live with them, try to find a place away from home, a new home for you. It’ll help to be away from them for some time for you.You could also try talking to them about it, but I will say that I have so much difficulty in doing so, that they probably don’t know how I feel even though I’ve probably told them many times.
Why are my parents so judgmental? We were just in the mall and my mom said “Wow, there were a lot of Muslims there.” My dad talks about Trump too even though he knows I despise that man.
Your parents are who they are. Without some gigantic epiphany or religious conversion or life-changing event, they probably will never change very much from who they are right now.So if they are basically fixed in stone, what else do you have to work with?First, when you really get that you’re not going to change them, you will experience some relief and calmness. How they are has pretty much nothing to do with who you are. No one is going to judge you for things that they say and do.Their entire lives have led up to them being the way they are. What their parents told them, what their friends told them, what the media told them, but their religion told them, has forged the prejudices and judgments they have. They didn’t necessarily choose to have feel this way. These things were handed to them, and now they use them without question.What can you do about all this?First of all, cut them some slack. They didn’t grow up in this more liberal and accepting era. If you are interested in helping them become more broad minded, perhaps show them some movies that present minorities of various kinds in a positive light.Please realize that they are doing the very best they can to raise you. It might not seem that way. Given their background and the tools that they were given to work with, they are doing the very best they can.Regarding your father insisting on talking about Trump, that is his right. He’s your senior and your father, he has earned the right to support whatever political candidate he wants to. My recommendation would be for you to just let him talk. Smile and nod to show your listening, and just let it flow on by. There is a river of yucky stuff flowing around Trump, but you don’t need to jump in and splash around in it.
My dad is being so judgemental!!!?
If you run away or whatever, you could get hurt. Don't do that. Please. I understand your frustration. I've been there. My grandparents are judgmental people. How your parents think, DOES NOT have to be how you think. As for your make-up, you aren't going to like to hear this, but: Your make up doesn't make you beautiful. You are already beautiful. Really. No joke. I totally get that you love the way you look W/ eye liner, opposed to not having it on. I don't know your dad, but personally what i would do w/ my parents is, i would sit them down, apologize for being disrespectful, and ask for my stuff back... Now, i don't mean apologize for disagreeing w/ his views. It's totally okay to disagree. I would even tell him that you disagree. Just try to be as respectful as possible b/c he's your dad. I know that's hard to do. Me and my mom are so different, and she gets on my nerves so badly... the best thing i can do is appreciate her for giving me life and taking care of me, and leave it at that.
Judgemental family??
Yeah, I have a family that is like that... Fortunately (if there is a fortunate side to that?) they are my extended family, like grandparents aunts, uncles and cousins. I say don't let it get you down. Eventually they will get tired of listening to themselves yap and finally shut up. Opening up about things like dating different races, or friends from other religions may be something that will be more difficult to enlighten them about, but as far as the vegan thing goes-educate them! Little by little drop reasons why you chose that lifestyle. If they still don't back off over time then just spell it out for them: It's YOUR life, and you chose to live it the way YOU want. That's really all you can do, I think. Good luck.
Is My Dad Being Rude Or Judgemental? Help? >.>?
Okay, so...I've been having some issues at home with my dad. (My parents are divorced, I don't live with my mom.) Ever since my parents got a divorce, my dad has been an alcoholic. He's very stressed and he gets angry easily at little things. So, just the other day I was talking with him about things that I like, such as music I like (Vampires Everywhere!, Black Veil Brides, Escape The Fate, & Fit For Rivals.), what kind of a job I want (I want to work at Hot Topic.) and all that. My dad turns to me and says that my opinions SUCK. I'm not even joking. He said it so seriously, that he looked like he was about to yell at me or something. It scared me. Also, he asked me if I cut myself (I wear alot of bracelets, and I don't cut myself.) So...here's the part where my dad asked me if I was turning into a goth/emo freak. He keeps judging alot of things and saying things like... "Gay people are freaks, emo kids are posers, I don't want my daughter turning into a loser." WTF? O.O I'm really depressed by this. Plus, my dad says he's going to 'control my life' by telling me that I can't get a job until I'm 18, I'm not allowed to get a car, and he brings me down alot. He says that the things I do in my life aren't worth it. Heck, he even got me a Justin Bieber CD for my birthday. He told me that's what 'Normal' girls listen to. What the hell...? I don't like Justin Bieber. And...my family keeps buying me all these skirts, tank tops, and high heels....CLOTHES I DON'T WEAR. I'm not a girly girl...I prefer to wear skinny jeans, band shirts, and converse. I mean seriously. Everything I do, I always tend to screw it up and my dad brings me down. What's up with that? :/ Oh, and another thing...I try to tell my dad how I feel but he says that I'm putting on an 'act' and that it's pathetic. Why does he act like this? I'm his daughter, and I love him but there are times where he mostly talks crap about everything including me. Once he called me a screw up child and a problem child. Sometimes I feel like I want to walk out the door and go to a friends house or something but it's too far from where I live. And sometimes I feel like I want to tell him to f*ck off but that would get me in some really deep trouble. He expects me to get good grades and be little miss perfect. I'm trying to do the best I can but I'm guessing he's too blind to see that.
My mom is so judgmental?
my mom is a really judgmental person, probably because of what shes gone through in her life, but thats a whole other story. since she is so judgmental, shes scared of anyone judging her so everything has to be perfect, ordinary, and flat out boring. she wont let me get acrylics, color my hair, do a lot of things with my friends, get a second ear piercing, NOTHING and i know that shes not worried about people judging ME about how i look/percieve myself, but what people will think of her as a mom i wish she would just relax for one second and realize that im a teenager and its what we liked to do, and this is just how this century is. i hate how boring and plain everything always has to be, just cause shes scared of how people will look at her. what do i do to help my mom just chill! also, how could i convince her to let me get my hair dyed/get my nose peirced? based on what i just told you, it might be a little difficultt
What things do judgemental parents say to everyone and everything?
One thing I noticed was that these parents are more concerned with the what than the why or how. If their children have friends, they're more inclined to ask questions with these nature:-What does her parents do?-What race is she?-What class is she in? Is she in honors class?-What does she look like? And they're likely to form their own conclusions base on the what answers. The worst part is they'd tell their children not to 'hang out with that asian girl' or that 'less than honor class girl', further instigating stereotypes and judgmental attitudes in their children by associating negatives and prejudice notions.
