Thread: Sharing everything with our parents! Is it a good practice?

Since my childhood I have a habit of sharing everything with my parents,especially with my mother. Some people say there should be a limitation on sharing things with parents! I myself don't think so, it's always good to be transparent to your family. Isn't it so?

Share your thoughts about this?

Like you I too share everything with my mother. It's give me kind of a relief ,So in my point of view it's a good habit.

Sharing everything with your parents is good thing. It improve parent-child bonding, trust with children. But with ages, the transparency get reduced. You can share everything as same as before. But you will trim the detailing of the incident. Sometime you'll hide something from your parent who is your best friend, because you don't want to hurt them or not to scare them by the incident.

because you don't want to hurt them or not to scare them by the incident

You're right, But if our parents come to know the news from others the hurt they get is much more than the hurt when they hear it from us.
so It's better to share the news by ourselves.

Same here.The relief we get after sharing things with our parents can never be explained unless experienced

I agree we do hide things just to make sure they aren't worried about ourselves.But only for the time being, later on we have to share it with them.

I understand what you are talking about. As you said parents would definitely get hurt when a third person explains and knows the fact better than them .This could even make them worried about the way they raised you.So better share everything, at least some sensitive issues as early as possible.

Yeah, they will get hurt. But the impact of that incident comparatively reduced at that time. It will hurt them, when they hear it from someone else. But they can understand why did you hide it.

But it's not the case with all the issues.We should be more concerned about this issue.
