Do kids like to give parents a hard time?

I’m asking this out of my own personal experience, I happened to disagree with my mom when I was a kid a lot with out just reason, and I can’t recall why on earth I did. When I got in trouble, I just laughed about it like it was nothing until she really got mad and then she took drastic measures. Can someone tell me, do kids naturally just like to give parents a hard time or was it just me?

Answer #1

I don’t think they LIKE to as such, …..

….. it is just instinctive.

Answer #2

Some kids do on purpose to be a wise @ass..But some kids just don’t like what their parents ideas and decisions are.

Answer #3

I think some do, and some don’t. I was a pretty well behaved kid, and didn’t try to give my parents a hard time, but my younger brother is a different story. He’ll take any opportunity to argue something with someone, whether it be a fact or not and questions my Mother constantly. I think he gets a kick out of it.

Answer #4

no we dont like to, it just kinda happens lol

Answer #5

Yep I do. I’ve always been a rebel, but if my mom yells at me enough I’ll eventually do what she wants me to so she can shut up. If parents were to think before they speak there would be alot morekids loving their parents out there

Answer #6

Sometimes they do it to see how far the can push their limits. & sometimes they just do it cause they wanna see how far they can push their limits.

Answer #7

Some of them do I suppose. I think there’s sometimes a secondary purpose behind it, but of course some kids are like little sociopaths and just enjoy the mayhem and destruction.

Answer #8

Most of the kids behave like this and it’s quite natural also.But it is not the same case with everybody for sure as kids are also of different types and some of them might be very quiet also

Answer #9

Some do for attencion other because they are being kids.

Answer #10

They Like To See What They Can Get Away With.My Parents Had 7 Kids We Were All Different. Each Tried To Get Away With Things.They Try To Find Out Which Parent Is More Permissive I Think.

Answer #11

I think some definitely like it just to get some humor out of it but some probably dont mean anything by it i’d say

Answer #12

Answer #13

Answer #14

Some kids do give their parents a hard time for attention, entertainment, or simply because they’re inconsiderate brats. Some kids don’t try and just have extremely sensitive parents.
