Schools trying to drive a wedge between parents and students now is certainly not helping.

[joelgonzales]

Only a complete narcissist would blame a child for that.

[ulibarriL]

Couldn't agree more. Yet many parents will put the blame on their children. Very sad.

It was a struggle for my dad to form that bond with me, as he and I have very little in common, as I was growing up he spent a lot of time with my brother who was 8 years older than me, who did have a lot in common with him. But when I turned 10, my brother was off to college, he turned to me and found that he and I had very few interests in common, and he struggled to get interested in what I was interested in.

When I turned 12, my dad asked me to go youth turkey hunting with him. I had no idea what I was signing myself up for, but my mom convinced me because she knew my dad was just trying to spend time with me. I hated it at first. Waking up at 4 in the morning, climbing hills in the chilly morning air, sitting down on cold mud under the branches of prickly evergreen trees. It was awful.

And then, right as the sun started to glow on the horizon, I heard my first gobble. I remember gasping and my dad leaning over to me and whispering, “listen to this.” And he let loose a couple of clucks from his mouth call, and the treetops around us exploded in noise. Turkeys losing their minds and filling the morning air with gobbles.

I never shot one that year, I had to wait until I was 15 to get my first bird, but I was hooked. It led to my dad taking me fishing all the time that summer, pheasant hunting that fall, deer hunting in the winter…

I travel all over the country for work, but to this day, I always take a week off in the spring, summer, and fall to go hunting and fishing with my dad. We share almost nothing else if interest, but even this one thing has built a tight bond between me and my father.

[BrandonSchleifer]

Absolutely agree. My parents might drive me crazy, but they forged that bond, and I still see them all the time

[excusememissy]

When my daughter was a baby, she was bonded with her dad and not me. I could have taken that to heart and allowed it. I did not! I said to myself, oh heck NO. I forced that bond, I worked on it daily. She is a teenager now and we are crazy close and tightly bonded. It was not her job as a baby to comfort my feelings, it was my job as her mother to make sure I was everything she needed and could ever need in the future.

[shanecovey]

I always felt guilty not liking my parents. I shouldn't. They aren't likeable.

[AMKmusic]

People get so mad when I say I can’t have a real relationship with my narcissist mother, that I am selfish…

[rubenmocuta]

The consequences are devastating and prolonged for adult children, grandchildren, and parents. All can be avoided, and it's self-inflicted.

[samanthapmaldonado]

Gained more respect for matt after this. I left my home when i was 18 and moved across the country and found peace.

[Deilgyre]

That bond will be tested in your kid's defiant / rebellious teenage and young adult years, Matt. Cross your fingers. We'll see if you're singing the same tune, or something slightly different.

[aspiritualambition]

My opinion is behind every bad child is a bad parent.. 89% of The time.

[yourmasyourda]

Not always the case some kids are just hateful

[Chris]

Straight up wrong. Sometimes people are just jerks to their parents.

[leisurejain]

Thank you sir for saying this it means a lot to me.
My father died a decade ago and I am 15 years old and my mother keeps on blaming me for everything wrong in her life and keeps calling me “satan” regularly. I am very grateful that she lets me live in her house and do buy ingredients for making food but it is tough. I maintain my focus on my studies only and I thank Jesus and you for saying this…I was regularly having emotional breakdowns because of blame she puts on me.

[WhatIsItReallyAbout]

Conversely, I see some parents who clearly treat their kids like cuddly toys and are emotionally dependent upon them. They intentionally keep the kids in a state of dependence. You have to have that healthy balance.

[shaunm]

I agree with him partially. When they're young, it's a parent's job to build a connection with their kids, but as the they get older, they should try to respect their parents and form a connection. Am I off on that?

[madjack]

Thank you Matt. I grew up without a father and a not so nice woman as a mother. When I was very little wanted a father that quickly went away and my mother did all the wrong things. I moved out and now I haven’t seen her in years. I get a lot of judgment for it so thanks Matt. A random stranger from the internet understands better then my peera

[samanthabaker]

Thank you for this Matt. I respect you even more. My parents are emotionally immature. I grew up with a father who had anger issues. He had anger outbursts and didn’t know how to regulate emotions. Now I’m mentally screwed up because of him. I’m in so much emotional pain right now. I’ve lost interest with being around my parents. It’s hard for me to respect them since they think my feelings don’t matter.

[calholli]

You can't just "form a bond" -- you have to teach them morals and values that creates who they are and how they will behave later in life. If you don't teach your kids, the TV and the teachers will.
