Answer 1

it is not a childs job to make the parent happy. It is my job to be happy.

Kids can displease a parent by their behaviour. So if you want to please your parents then behave, be polite and let your parent know how you feel

Answer 2

I would try not to have to many unrealistic expectations on my kids. As long as they can make a good decision about problems, deal with issues and support themselves I would be very happy that I raised well educated, well informed members of society. I don't think a child should "do anything" to make me happy, they have to live their life, just as long as they live by my rules as younger kids.

Answer 3

I'd say try to get a open dialog with them take to them ask them about their past about the old country.  Show them that you are interesting to find who they are, your history.

I'm not sure how old you are so have no idea what you can do.

But parent no matter what coutry they are from want what's best for their children, we want our children to be happy, healthy and good moral adults.  Most of all we want to have a part of our children's lives.

LOL

Answer 4

While I agree that it isn't the child's responsibility to make his/her parents happy, I can't pretend that there aren't certain behaviors that would make me more or less pleased.  I want my kids to be nice people.  That would make me very happy.

Answer 5

My kids make me happy by just walking in the room.  Ask your parents what they expect of you, come to a comprimise and be respectful.  I get the feeling you make your parents VERY happy, you just don't know it yet.

Answer 6

I don't feel it is a child's responsibility to fill the needs of the parent.  

But if you are looking to have a better relationship with your parents, I think that open, honest communication is a good start.  If your parents are willing, sometimes a family counselor can help facilitate good discussions and help solve family problems together.

Answer 7

For one, it's not up to my child to make me happy - I make myself happy.

But, it would tickle me to see my child do well in school, stay out of trouble, and do good works.  That's all - just succeed where I know they can succeed, and push themselves to reach their potential.

Answer 8

Its not what a child should do to make the parent happy.Its what the Parent should do to make the child happy. In that sense I mean... The parents should set the examples of what their children should act like and behave as such. Talk to them about stuff...let them know that you want a stronger bond with them instead of the path it is going down right now. I think being open with your parents is the best thing you could do to break down the wall between you three.

I dunno if this is considered cheesy but trust me it works..I was open with my parents and we have a GREAT relationship with eachother. Being honest does actually go a long way!
