Dealing with near grown children with different political ideology

I'm a republican and **** trump

 

I think you just keep bide your time. Trump will continue to bring the country together and heal the wounds of the past. With an empathetic, compassionate, but strong leader like Trump. It’s only a matter of time. Good luck

 

How about not bringing up politics within the family....?

Not only dividing strangers across the country, now dividing families across the country......

 

So you knew politics would be contentious and you brought it up anyway?

My advise would be to stop doing that.

 

Hopefully we survive this, and in 20 years we'll all look back and people will be dumbstruck that supporting Trump was viewed as a reasonable political ideology by half the country.

 

I am not a Trumper but my parents are.......we don't speak anymore about anything that is remotely political, its often very awkward

 

Raising children is not easy. Sometimes parents forget they are not raising best friends or trying to raise a human how they want them to turn out, but raising a human to be the best version of themselves.

That said, its time to view your daughter as an independent adult. In other words, be yourself. If you're someone who doesn't care about the impact of your words, regardless of what is said, then carry on. If you're a well centered mature adult and are sensitive to other peoples beliefs, then perhaps be respectful of her beliefs. Me personally, I do not have discussions of any topic if the person is very passionate about their beliefs....if I care about the relationship.

 

Not sure how it happened but my three teenaged boys are fully anti trump...

 

this's may make you feel better :
she's liberal , but her debts is so republicans .

 

21? Pics. Thx. NEXT

 

Discussing contentious things like this never changes any opinions. It's even worse when you do it in person since it's harder to walk away. That's why I never discuss Texans football with Cowboys fans.

 

No one likes that raging political loudmouth relative.

 

You're not sure? Politics, in and of itself, is already divisive. Trump has been one of the most polarizing (if the the most) presidents America has ever had.

I don't know you nor your boys personally, but I can definitely see why people are on either end of the spectrum.

This post is the winner.

 

When are you gonna apologize for being such an ass in the D&D?

I still remember what you said abou RBG.

 

Don't bring your D&D personality to real life especially around people you love.

 

Be proud of your girl for being wiser than you.

Honestly yall just have to avoid talking about it. Which takes both of you being mindful to avoid any political discussion. My father is an extreme conspiracy theorist and if I didn't have control over my emotions I'm certain It would lead to fistfights, as he has no ability to do so and everything continuously escalates if the conversation isn't stopped.

 

You shouldn't have talked politics with your kid if it is obvious that she disagrees with you, but you figured that out. She showed her intelligence by apologizing to you, "keeping peace in the family," and you certainly did the right thing by apologizing as well. That's good. Best to avoid the subject in the future, in my opinion.

We're fortunate that our two grown kids, who graduated from college and support themselves (thank goodness!), largely agree with our politics. Of course, I was crafty while they were growing up. They both loved The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, so I let them watch the previous night's show while having a snack after they got home from high school (our daughter) and middle school (our son). Because we generally agree politically, the four of us can enjoy talking politics. Well, not so much now, but it has nothing to do with our relationship. ;-)
