Why are people so obsessed with their parents?

SecondClass · October 01, 2015, 10:02:35 PM

For real. People flip out if someone else insults their mother. People fight tooth and nail to impress their fathers. Etc.

Is it unnatural that I couldn't care less about any of that?

I mean, my family is okay. I like/love them, but I don't hold them up as the holy grail of importance or anything like that. I'd save my best friend over either of my parents any day.

So your argument is moot.

I find that people who take offense to comments like that to be really insecure

Ender · October 01, 2015, 10:12:59 PM

And it's not obsession, it's just called liking your family and not letting people talk shit about them.

Some people literally spend their entire lives trying to live up to their fathers' standards and literally kill people for insulting their mothers

Well yeah, some people take it too far, but I've rarely heard of that happening.

Depends a lot on the person in question, but it would likely just be down to putting the mother on a pedestal and seeking parental approval from a tsundere father.

nͫiͤcͫeͤ · October 02, 2015, 06:20:39 AM

people have different values with that sort of thing and it's not easy to understand why some may value family as something so important

gats · October 02, 2015, 07:12:58 AM

I apologise for looking out for the women that carried me, endured pain and suffering for 9 months and then gave birth to me. No really I'm sorry.

human24 · October 02, 2015, 07:48:27 AM

I'm not interested in my parents.
I'm interested in yours. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

You'd save your best friend over your parents? You're a horrible son. I'd kick your ass outta my house for saying something like that.

Same.

it's almost like parents have an important role to play in the psychological and emotional upbringing of their children

T6 · October 02, 2015, 09:34:52 AM

Take a friend over family?

Fucking shitlord

Well nit sure about you. But ever heard the saying family sticks together. The oldest and closest relationships are usually family. Actually in the west is the concept of splitting away from the family exist. While if you look into other cultures, family is still strong. Which is why you can see multiple geneeations living under one roof. So usually although thibgs can get tense there is a devotion to protecting your family.

Afterall the belief is that when you are in trouble, it will be your blood relatives that will save you. Hell how many parents put effort in giving better futures to their kids. And thus kids protect their parents reputstion.

It depends on people. Some families have stronger bonds than others.
