Getting Along with Mom & Dad: Answer Key

Simpático (Pleasant, Nice)

You’ve got a great thing going with your folks. That’s awesome! You’ve clearly taken God’s command to honor your parents seriously (see Exodus 20:12; Ephesians 6:2). Muy bien! (Very good!)

Normal (Average)

You’re normal! That means you get along for the most part but sometimes hit a bump or two in your relationship. What’s important is that you continue to communicate despite the occasional bump.

Difícil (Difficult)

You probably already realize that your relationship with your parents is difficult. But it doesn’t always have to be like this. Good relationships take lots of work and prayer. Are you willing to work at it?

If you are in a difficult family situation and feel that you can’t talk with your parent or parents at all, seek the help of a pastor or another trusted individual.
