i dont get on with my parents at all, as we have the same temper so when ones of us shouts so does the other and then a little row turns into a fall on fight. where no one wants to back down, when i was living there we got on better but i had to move back so things just returned to the way that they were, so know im counting down the days until i can move out. I know thta sounds bad but we all get on better when we spend time apart. :smile:
it depentds yes and no it is what happing in the house

I don't have any contact with my father whatsoever, and me and my mum aren't exactly the best of friends.... Can't wait to get to uni.

My Dad's a legend, we rarely if ever have a cross word. If I overstep the line I apologise, and if he's being unreasonable he admits it.

Things with my Mum are a bit more strained, but I don't live with her so I guess you'd expect that.
I don't get on particularly well with my dad, just because he completeely rejects classical music (something that I intend n dedicating my life to the study of). We do get on sometimes and my whole family are trotskyists of some sort or another, which helps.

My mum and I don't really find each other's company very err pleasing at times, but me and my dad get along OK. It is the first time I am going on holiday without my mother, which should be more fun (I know I shouldn't say that, but she is always shouting) :rolleyes:
Anyway I can't Waaaaaait to go to uni :smile:
I get on with my parents really well, most of the time, its just when they start nagging me and threatening to hurt my cat of i don't do any work that i get pissed off with them and start shouting and swearing.

I get on with my mom but sometimes not with my dad.
He has a huge temper and it easily set off.

I get on well with my parents. But it hasn't always been so easy. I think spending time away really helped (so those moving away to uni might see an improvement in their relationship with their parents). For my parents it was difficult for them acknowledging that I had grown up and didn't need them as much. But they saw that when I came back home. For me, I realised that I'm not a kid anymore and screaming tantrums is not the best way to get what you want.

I clash with my Dad a lot, it's because we're so simillar and he always expects me to be busy doing something, expects a million and one things from me and if they're not done quickly enough then he's less than impressed.

I get on with my Mum better but we still have our moments, usually if she's nagging me about something.

i dont get on with my dad.. hes always blaming stuff on me and my sister. Hes very anti female and as a result has put me off men cos i dont wanna end up with someone like him. He treats my mom pretty bad too, everything is her fault.

Because my mom stayed at home to bring me and my sister up he resents her cos hes the bread winner, even though my mom works part time now that were older. He really doesnt appreicate the washing, cleaning and cooking she does when shes not at work. He thinks she sits on her bum all day watching soaps.

He expects me to still love him and cuddle him, but the fact is my mom is the only thing kept me sain. He has hit us on occasions and calls us names and stuff, hes can be the nicest person, and something goes wrong and hes someone else. Someone else said they wouldnt be fased if their dad walked off a cliff. Well i wouldnt be sad if anything happened to him, id feel id been released and probabily quiet happy.
seems like i'm the only one who gets on with both my parents! They're both great.

My dad is brilliant and an aging hippie of sorts. He's always been my inspiration.

My mum is lovely and we're really good friends. I can tell her anything. When I first started going out with my boyfriend she was great about it and insisted on buying me kinky underwear! lol. And when I told her I lost my virginity to my boyf, she said - i bet he's reallly good!
