My parent wants me to do something I don't want to do, how can I tell them no?

Sit down with your parents and have a mature chat with them to show them that you understand. Tell them what is bothering you, tell them why it's bothering you. Conditions can work too, example: "If I don't do this, I could do this...".

You be honest and upfront with them, and tell them no. They are your parents, not your owner. They can't force you to do anything you don't want to do.

Calmly tell them you don't want to do it and give them a rational explanation why. Sometimes parents think they are having us do things that is good for us but they can't always see that it may not be something we don't want to do.

Do they know that you donot like what they want you to do, Do they insist that you should do even after knowing that you do not like

It's always a tough situation to be in when you have to tell your parents that you don't want to do something they want you to do. You are raised up by your parents, and most people grow up with their parents constantly saying no to them. Parental authority is implicit in this way of relating. For as long as you can remember, the parent has been the sole source of survival. They fed you, changed you, made sure all of your needs were met. Early childhood memories serve as a skeleton for further understanding as we grow up, so the imprint is very strong. It permeates many aspects of the way we think about spirituality and god, the government, teachers and professors, doctors, scientific experts, etc. Letting go of this in order to set boundaries a parent can feel extremely threatening because that subconscious link between parental love and survival is one of the earliest memories and thus a foundation for other knowledge and beliefs. My mother was a single parent who worked very hard to take care of me. She loves me a lot, but sometimes she can be difficult to deal with. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and used to break things in the house quite often and date very abusive men, who in turn often abused me physically and sexually. She has cooled down as we have both gotten older, but I've had to work really hard to establish some boundaries with her. When she is anxious or upset, it often helps me to think of mirrors. Mirrors embrace what is in front of them and reflect things transparently, and when the people in front of them go, no trace is left behind. If I sit with myself for awhile until the emotions and thoughts clear through and I stop believing my own mind, sometimes feelings of love and groundedness will come to take the place of the thoughts. From this place it becomes easier to express what really feels true. If that feeling means I have to tell a parent "no", that's okay.

you just have to explain to your parents nicely that what they're asking you to do, doesn't interest you.

Explain to your parents that you do not want to do this activity. Tell them how it makes you feel and explain to them why you do not want to do it.

It depends on how old you are. If you are a minor who is living at home, your parents have the right to set certain rules to keep you safe and healthy. In that case, you can still respectfully broach the subject if you think it is negotiable, like curfew, for example, which may change as you become older. But you may also need to let it go and trust that your parents want what is best for you. If it is something you truly believe is unreasonable, possibly even hurtful to you, it is best to get the advice of another adult, possibly someone who knows you and your parents.

Be honest with yourself and your parents on how you feel. If you are made to do something that you do not want to do,later on it could make you feel resentful towards your parents.

Just tell them what you feel. It's your life, do whatever makes you happy. Listent to them but tell them that you are happy on your own.

"Mom, dad, I don't want to do it." "I have free will and I'm not willing to do what you are asking me to do." "You can do this without me." "I'm not comfortable. Try to empathize." "This does not mean that I'm rebelling against you. I love you, and I respect you." "But I strongly do not want to do it." NOTE ---> If they are asking you to do something illegal, then I'm sorry, but you need to tip the authorities or a trusted social worker in your region. DO NOT let your attachments to your parents distract you from morals and ethics. Take care. :)

Tell them you don't feel comfortable about the situation, and you don't want them to be upset with your choices.

Just be honest and provide them with valid reasons why you don't want to do it. If you feel it's wrong, then it is wrong and vice versa.

The best way to tell them no,is by showing what you WANT to do and once you do it,they will be able to understand why you are telling no to them!

The best thing I can think of is to be frank with them about what you wouldn't like to do; they're people after all who should be open to reason, and as their son or daughter they should love and respect you enough to listen to your reasons why and react accordingly; you would be suprised how reasonable parents can be sometimes!

Try talking to them calmly, if possible. There might be some reason they want you to do something that hasn't been clear. If you still don't want to, explain your side calmly and concisely.
