Book excerpt: Is there hope for my relationship with my parents? Children often have a love-hate relationship with their parents. They love how parents give them food, shelter, and money, but they dislike any form of discipline, nagging, or reproof. They often dislike the rules their parents have and the boundaries they set in place. Many times, "getting along" seems like rocket science or nuclear chemistry. Plus, many rocket scientists probably have similar relationship issues. Why should this relationship be important, and is there really any hope? Full of real life examples, humorous drawings, and creative ideas to help encourage you to build a loving relationship with your parents.
