Here are some golden rules to live with parents.
Be as clear as possible and follow the rules.
Whether you have set rules in your family or not， try to be clear about your intentions （打算）. If you go out， let them know when you think you’ll be back and who you’re with. Think of doing this as good manners to them and to prevent something bad from parental worrying. It might even be a good idea to suggest a rule that seems fair to you.
Do your bit.
Everyone knows that chores （家务活） are not fun， including your parents！ But if you choose to do chores without or before being asked to do so， you will feel in control of your own time. Also， this means that you can choose the chores that you prefer to do and may mean that you get to avoid some of the chores you dislike the most.
Avoid criticism.
It is said that it’s easiest to criticize your family because you love them the most， and you know they will always love you no matter what you say. But that doesn’t mean you should abuse （滥用） this. Nobody likes to be criticized， including your parents， so the next time you find yourself sighing at your mother for not knowing how to work the T.V.， catch yourself before you do and explain calmly. Remember， she taught you how to walk， talk and hold a spoon. You can remind her of something she’s forgotten in a nice way.
Find a stress reliever （压力缓解方法）.
Whether you start doing yoga in your room like me， going out for walks， or getting out to do sports or activities， it helps to do something that is just focused on （专注） yourself. If you make this a regular thing and make it known to your family that this time is important to you， they will probably leave you to it.
Apologise.
Sometimes arguments happen； we just can’t all get along all the time， but once everyone has calmed down， apologise as soon as possible to clear the air. Even if the apology is just “I’m sorry that we fought”， it will feel the unhappy things over. Especially if arguments arise often in your household， you’ll want each conflict （冲突） to be clear cut and not a disagreement of all previous arguments.
