Adults feel that, due to their life experience, they can overlook something, turn away from it, or even forgive it.

They say that these qualities are most often manifested in relationships with family and close people. But there are moments that should not be in the relationship between parents and adult children.

Experts have named 3 behaviors of adult children that parents should not allow towards themselves.

Manipulations

In essence, this is nothing more than a latent form of blackmail, when children force their parents to accept their choice under the pretext of family ties.

A mother should understand her daughter, a father should support his son, and if this does not happen, the children may be offended.

In fact, if the situation contradicts the life principles, rules and interests of the parents, then they are not obliged to go against themselves.

Guilt

For various reasons, parents feel guilty about their children, that they didn't give them something, didn't love them enough, etc. In reality, such children often grow up to be spoiled.

Very soon they develop a sense of permissiveness towards their parents, and the younger generation begins to dictate conditions to the older generation.

Devaluation

Children should remember that their parents gave them life, education, and position in society. If so.

Having reached a certain level of well-being, higher than their parents, children should not devalue their parents' contribution to their personal success by teaching them how to live correctly.

An anti-example of such an attitude could be a consumer attitude, when children begin to only take, without helping their parents.

Earlier we talked about how much time a child can spend in front of a gadget or TV screen.
