Why can't I please my parents?

They may just have high expectations. If you try your hardest to please them, they'll see that you care about what they expect of you, and they'll respect that.

Some times it's hard to please parents because they have a set of values and beliefs that are not shared. They want to make their dreams there children dreams because they could not live up to theirs.

Parents are hard to please often, mainly because they expect so much of you, often extremely unrealistic. However, this does not mean that they aren't proud of you. Sometimes, parents hide their emotions but will show it in little ways like giving you a present, money, doing something nice for you etc. Some people find it helps to tell their parents how they feel about the way that they act towards them so that their parents have a better understanding of the way that they react towards their parents and it sometimes helps them to realise what their actions are doing. I hope this information helps.

I believe this happens in most cases because 1) Our parents, like us, are also imperfect individuals and 2) because they're constantly thinking about what's right for their children. While they do love us unconditionally, they also tend to expect us to thrive in the kind of environment they've imagined or hoped we would thrive in. They like to see us doing things or achieving things they hoped we would. And at often times, this is what leads us to thinking we are unable to please them no matter what we do. To sum it up, we can't please our parents not because we're not enough, but because sometimes, they expect a little too much from us. But then again, what I just stated is not relevant in every situation.

Figure out what you want from life and then let the know. Come up with a plan to achieve it and they will believe it.

In the end, all our parents want is for us to be successful. However, sometimes these good intentions can be muddled and taken to the extreme when they begin comparing us to others or setting their approval on unrealistic and uncertain goals/outcomes. I am sure that you do care about your parents very much and take their opinions into high regard, but remember that as you grow older, it's important that you make yourself happy. Set goals for yourself that you want to attain. Remember that in life and in the end, we cannot please everybody; it's an unfortunate truth. However, what is important is that we find our own fulfillment and success in whatever we do.

Because they know you and know that you can be the best person in this world they will always want you being a big person is a exhausting way to live but they will always expect best to you.

hi, I am one of the listeners. In what sense you can't please your parent? and why do you think you don't please them?

Parents are very hard to please. There always asking more of you, but I want you to know that they love and care for you! And they just want you to do your best!

Parents generally view their children as an extension of themselves, and therefore put the sometimes perfectionist beliefs they have of themselves on others. It's not anything you are doing, but rather what they are thinking and feeling.
