conflict with parents

There is no doubt among us that our parents have done a great deal for us and we should and we do (at least majority of us) respect and love them. However, when we grow and become mature and especially when we get educated here and live here in the US or other developed countries, our ideas and thoughts might conflict with that of our parents. When they were of our age, they might have had the same situation with their parents and might have thought the same way. And the main thing is that our parents won't change now for our ideas or for us. So, I think we should understand them and even though we disagree with them and might have better and geniune reasons to back our ideas and points, we should confront them in a nice way, with all due respect and love, and in a polite way.

Of course, there are small and little disputes in all homes, especially if you live with your parents, either here in the US, other countries, or in Nepal, and you might flatly disapprove of their ideas, but that does not mean that you don't love them or respect them. These small things don't matter, I believe, in a family unless we let it grow and grow. The main thing for me is, even though I don;t agree with them for their small and tiny things, I do love and respect them and I will surely not hurt them for real or big decisions in life.
