Off-course they are not always right. You can't be expected to agree with someone who is wrong hopefully they are only wrong some of the time and you love and respect them:-))

I agree nobody is always right. Except, maybe God. Anyway he's omnipotent.

Of course they're not always right, no one is perfect, not even adults.

Of course they aren't always right. They're only human, after all.

Parents should give their children the chance at access to their experience and knowledge, but also realize that their children aren't them, they aren't going to live the same way, nor will the want to be told everything, kids need to learn for themselves, even if it may hurt them, physically or emotionally

As far as their age and experience are concerned, parents are superior to their children, but their views are not always acceptable. It is for the generation gap their always remains a breach between parents and their younger generations. Sometimes they think on their own way. Do not able to equate themselves with the thinking of their children they employ their realization on the children and on that very moment they produce themselves completely wrong. We also know in modern times parents are crazy about the education of their children, it creates an unhealthy contest between them. So, to fulfill their requirements, they continue an unbeatable pressure over their children, through their children they want to fulfill that aim which they did not able to fulfill in their life. It affects heavy on the children, unable to find out their own area of refreshment, they sometimes commit suicide.

No parent can be right all of the time because they would have to be perfect and there is not one person in this world that can truly claim to be perfect. Parents make mistakes, can have bad judgement at time and don't always understand how different the world is now from when they grew up but lets face it they also have that much more experience than we do. A lot of what we go through growing up they have been there done that so I do not think its right to completely disregard what they have to say, but that doesn't mean that every time they will have the right answer. Either way I do believe because of there experience there opinion/advice should be respected.

They haven't experienced everything so they do know everything. That doesn't mean they aren't wise and helpful

Parents are assumed to always have their children's interests at heart but we know that this is not always true, there are many times when parents act in selfish ways and do it the expense of their children.
I don't think that they are always right because they can never act in an altruistic fashion.

No I don't think parents are ALWAYS right because there is NO WAY 1 person can be right all the time...not saying they cant be right sometimes.

I don't think parents are any more wrong than any other adult... Certainly not more wrong because they're parents... A parent with the foresight to know they can be there for you and confess to you that they absolutely will be there for you is quite a friend to have on your side and nothing you should take lightly, real world aside, parents are wonderful to have to fall back on when the real world is that monster you always thought you had left in your closet... Your never as grown up as your parents... Your parents will need you one day... Is it really 'them being right' that your upset at? Isn't it something closer to how wrong you KNOW they are sometimes but they just won't let go of their resolution cuz they can't stop looking at you as 'the kid'... That doesn't go away, until they see themselves as grandparents... Nothing makes them sadder either, until they see their grandkids... Give your parents some credit... They're more right than you think they are... But you knew that already... Didn't you :-P
