You can disagree respectfully but I wouldn't be sassmouthing my mother she was always scary when she was angry and that was one thing she never tolerated. Learned that lesson over several times.

It is OK to speak your peace, but only if you are on solid ground.
If you know you are right and they are wrong, and you are on there ground, then you need to find your own ground.
If you are on your own ground and have this fight, you can say whatever you want, but try to keep that bridge open, in most good families, they will take better care of you than any other person would.
Do not burn a bridge unless you know it gives you nothing good to come back to.

Of course it is okay. I allow my kids to say what’s inside their system. Only I tell them how to approach their anger and how to choose their kinds of words to adults if they wanted to be treated as an adult too.

I will respectfully disagree with my parents but I won't be rude about it or disrespect them..just express my own opinion..
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
It’s only fair that you be allowed to express you thoughts and opinions. I’m sure they appreciate that too.

‘Talking back’, by my definition, isn’t the best way to communicate with anybody. Talking back implies a sort of snotty rude attitude.
Kids do backtalk. Adults who are really grownups say things like, ‘thanks for the advice, but I prefer to do it this way. If I make mistakes, well, they’re my mistakes.’

Its okay to say how you feel. It is advisable to do it respectfully. I still talk to my father with respect.
Steve42 · 56-60, M
I try to be respectful as I am called to be, but I will let them know if I disagree.

When I was a kid, I did what I was told. Now, I tend to argue my point across more.

yes. don't be a jerk about it and say anything you wouldnt say to any other adult, but you're their daughter, not their child

If the world was perfect then I would say no, it's not alright to talk back to your parents because they mean you well and they know what's best for you... but this is such an imperfect world that I will have to settle with "it depends" :)

I think there comes a point where you have mind of your own.
