Are parents really annoying?
After answering a question at Aol Answers, “Why are parents annoying?,” I decided to write this article. My mother passed away four years ago, and I remember before she died when she would talk with me, she would pick up a lock of my hair, and sort of fumble with it. When I was a teenager, I hated it, totally annoyed me. But as I got older, I realized it was a form of love. As she talked to me – fumbling with my hair, it was if she was filled with pride looking into my eyes. Trying to capture a moment from when I was young, and she’d sit me on her lap to comb my long hair.
Then when it came to advice, I honestly didn’t want to hear it. And I could never take corrective criticism. But again, as I matured, I listened to my mother– as I knew her words were spoken with years of wisdom.
Please don’t be annoyed by things your parents say or do. I honestly don’t think that parents “mean” to be annoying. If they offer up advice, it is meant
with good intentions.
Could it be that parents become annoying when one doesn’t like the advice given?
Happy Mother’s Day Everyone!
