Being able to understand each other’s feeling is also important.

Everyone is different; those tips are only instructions as to do it you have to find your own way. However, do not forget parents are the most important people in our life, their influence on children can affect us for the entire life in different ways. Therefore for the good of both, be nice to your mum and
