What should I do if my father or mother constantly complains?

If your father or mother constantly complains or acts out, make sure they see a physician to check for painful changes in their health. Many elders “don’t want to complain,” so they refuse to go to the doctor. Ironically, they often continue complaining about aches and pains to their family members.

How do you deal with a difficult parent?

Simple friendliness (classiness) will help diffuse their frustration and send the message that you’re competent, professional, and someone they can trust. 2. Listen. Give the parent as much time as they need to express their feelings. Often, all they want is to be heard and know that you’re doing the right thing for their child.

What happens if you don’t respond to a complaining parent?

Too, we may not feel the parent is accurate or fair in his or her assessment. Yet if we don’t want to be in a lose-lose situation with a complaining parent, we must be prepared with professional and acceptable responses and actions. If we’re not, the complaint won’t be resolved and may even escalate.

How do you apologize to your parents for causing concern?

Apologize for both the problem and for causing parents concern. However, never make an apology your first action. Apologizing should be the second step—and for good reason. It will always have more power and impact if it comes after you thank parents—and after you have revealed that you’re glad they brought the concern to you.
