I think perhaps by putting ourselves in the position of the other person we can see things better.

I have discovered that certain persons think in a certain way because of personality differences which is only natural.

True that some are basically too self centered and narrow minded but then if such a person is the parent I guess we just have to slowly change them. We cannot just discard them and anger the Gods 😆

I dint catch talking-back, mind enlightening me?

Though, parents do mind when you say merely a word.

It is like your parents, mostly mothers are compulsive and control freaks.

Everything you do alarms them in an oddly annoying way.

No wonder I fight with my mother everyday.

Daughters n mums are often buddies and they may argue n become friends again.
Most men do not want to take sides in such cases or they may get killed later.😆

I think you shouldn't retort because that would just aggravate the problem...

Yes you are right. With parents, teachers, bosses and customers you gotta be careful.😆

Daughters and mums are females, Sir.

Hence, they are most unlikely to be friends.

The thing is, with every word the daughter speaks, the much her mother considers that her reign is set to wind up.

Hahaha! As if I'm going to tell you that!

The fight I sometimes have with my 10-year old. Yeeesh! And I hate when she talks back because as a parent I feel like she isn't giving me enough respect. But that's how almost every parent feel. I remember when I was in my early teens. My mum always complained how I talked back and not giving her respect. My biggest issue was my big mouth (still is an issue 😆). The big difference might also have been because she grew up in Pakistan wherelse I grew up in Europe. She never questioned her parents or anyone for that matter. But I questioned everyone and everything. 😆

Now I'm not saying that being born and raised outside India/Pakistan makes you more rude or something but the culture is different. In Pakistan, when my mum was a young girl, she was taught to obey her elders and never to question anything. The word 'why' was a big no no. It was a way to instigate fight. Wherelse here in Europe, going to school, I was taught to ask 'why' all the time which irritated my mum to the core. Which further on led to some quarrels between us.

Sorry for going off-topic but going back to the question. No it's not right to talk back not to your parents or anyone else. Not even kids. But we do that all the time, even knowing it's wrong, because we are humans and when we feel our authority is questioned or we are being wrongly accused it's naturally to react like that.

Hopefully you all understood what I've been trying to say in my post. I can be quiet unclear when it comes to explaining and forwarding my opinions. Sorry!

Also everything above mentioned is my personal opinion.

Is it right talking back to parents? - YESSS ! :D

...until you make sense and they're in a mood to listen to us.

The same would happen between my mom and me...I grew really tired of all those arguements, she would say SOO many hurtful things just for doing stuff "my way"and I would yell back at her and even cry.

Now, I first see if she's in a mood to listen to me, if she is not.. I simply listen to her or make up an excuse 😛 TBH, she's changed a bit too...she also respects me more these days 🤔
