Why don’t parents listen?
Talking to someone who refuses to listen can be very frustrating. The challenge is to find a way to get through and make yourself heard..

wishes? you wanna elaborate on what you actually askin
what kind of wishes are u talking abt..??
Please elaborate on what your wishes are:
For now the follow assumptions are all I can put forth:
1. Your wishes may not be what's best (i.e. logical and reasonable), thus your parents want what's best for you.
2. Your parents may not be able to understand what you are expressing, this may be due to the difference in generation (i.e. different mindsets). Sit down with them, and discuss what your wishes are, but you must also be open-minded. One cannot hold double standards and say "why aren't my parents listening to my wishes" without asking "am I listening to their wishes? Am I being reasonable too?"
3. A closed mindset and mode of thinking is present, but I'm not sure on who's side.
Those are all just assumptions based on my own estimation on what the situation MIGHT be, you need to be specific. Either way, be open-minded, and do not allow your desires to cloud His guidance (as it is logical and reasonable).
Good comments Maroof, thank you. Well expressed.

Though sitting with the parents and talking to them frankly and making them understand seems easy , its not so. They wound not spare us enough time listening to our cause when their causes will be dominating them.Little do parents understand, their love is blind .......... and think that they can take deciscion about our life better than US....... and they would tell we r to young to take decisions by our self and land up in something wrong.......
