Como fazer os pais felizes: 20 maneiras incrivelmente fáceis
I’m sure the question every kid wants to know the answer to is how to make parents happy. I was a kid too once and sometimes, it truly does seem like a mission impossible.
However, it doesn’t have to be. Doing some simple little things on a daily basis are perfectly enough to make your parents happy because all they really want is to see that they’ve managed to raise you well.
If you don’t respect your parents and everything they did (and still do) for you, of course, that will make them sad. In the end, parental happiness depends only on their children’s behavior towards them.
Como fazer os pais felizes: 20 maneiras
To make your parents happy, it’s enough to do these several little things very often. Your parents will be happy and proud of having you as their kid.
1. Earn your parents’ trust
If you want your parents to trust you, you need to earn that trust. You need to show them that you’re a mature person who is ready to make his/her own decisions and stand behind his/her actions.
Ganhar a sua confiança significa não mentir e não fazer nada nas suas costas. This won’t only make your parents happy but it’ll also completely change your relationship.
2. FALAR com eles
You need to know that the only way your parents can know what you want is when you tell them. It’s unfair to expect them to read your mind and it’s actually the reason for so many quarrels between parents and their children.
If something is bothering you or you simply don’t agree with your parent’s opinion regarding something, you should talk to them about it.
There is nothing that can’t be solved through comunicação saudável. Also, don’t be afraid of your parent’s reaction because I’m sure they’ll try to understand if you explain your reasons to them the right way.
3. Deixa-os ser teus amigos
Do meu ponto de vista, os únicos amigos verdadeiros são os seus pais and you’ll never have more sincere friends. If you can’t see that right now, you’ll understand it one day. I just hope it won’t be too late when that happens.
I’m sure your parents will try hard to befriend you and earn your trust. You shouldn’t block their way. Give them a chance and you’ll see what fun and incredibly interesting friends they can be when they aren’t on their parental duty.
4. Perdoar-lhes os pequenos erros
Unfortunately, most kids don’t understand that parents are human. They also have their weaknesses and they make mistakes, just like the rest of us.
It seems like their mistakes can’t be forgiven and forgotten. However, you should know that, just because they don’t make mistakes often, your parents are allowed to have some wrongdoings.
Tenta lembrar-te de quantas vezes te perdoaram os teus erros. So, if your parents make a mistake, don’t give them a hard time because of it. Forgive them and let it go.
5. Try to understand when they’re going through a hard time
Todos os adultos passam por alguns altos e baixos na vida. I’m sure your parents will try to hide it from you every time they go through a hard time but if you notice that something bad is happening, just be their support and try to understand.
Seja paciente e tente ajudá-los o mais que puder nesses momentos. Don’t give them a hard time by making the entire situation even worse.
Let them know they have your support. It’ll make your parents happy because they’ll see how mature you have become.
6. Cuidar do seu bem-estar
Who takes care of you when you’re sick? Your parents, of course. Wouldn’t it be nice to do the same for them? The next time your parents catch the flu, take them soup or tea in bed.
Quando os vossos pais envelhecerem, devem cuidar da sua saúde física. Make sure they never miss a doctor’s appointment and if they ever start complaining about their well-being, you should react immediately and take them to their doctor.
7. Ajudar em casa
How to make parents happy? I’m sure that doing the household chores would make any parent happy, especially mothers.
Tentem chegar a acordo sobre a divisão das tarefas domésticas para que todos possam participar nelas em conjunto. Desta forma, os vossos pais ficarão felizes e nenhum de vocês ficará cansado de fazer todas as tarefas sozinho.
You can also surprise your parents and do the chores by yourself from time to time, so that, when they get home from work, they don’t immediately have to start cleaning the house.
8. Passar tempo de qualidade com eles
When you’re going to school, you have to work hard. You have many other obligations too. You also want to hang out with your friends from time to time and that’s perfectly okay.
Then you go off to college and soon after you find a job that takes up most of your time… Those are all completely normal parts of life. No entanto, por muito ocupados que estejamos, temos sempre de arranjar tempo para os nossos pais.
After all, they’ve dedicated their entire lives to you. Visite-os com mais frequência e passem algum tempo de qualidade juntos.
9. Don’t lie to them
I know it’s not easy to always be honest with your parents, however, for the sake of your connection, it’s always for the best to never lie to them. Of course, those small white lies are allowed.
By being honest with them, you’ll give them a reason to trust you and you’ll see how that changes your relationship.
On the flip side, if they catch you in a lie more than once, you’ll lose their trust and they’ll start checking up on you just to be sure that you didn’t stray from the right path.
10. Nunca lhes levante a voz
Sometimes, your parents will raise their voices at you and you should simply see it as a part of their parental job. I know it’s hard to understand this, but they’re doing that for your own good.
Por outro lado, nunca deve levantar a voz, por muito zangado que esteja. It’s disrespectful and your parents will definitely get a whole new picture of you.
If you don’t agree on something, try to work it out through healthy communication. You most definitely won’t solve anything by raising voices and yelling at each other.
11. Fazer um intervalo e pedir desculpa se passar dos limites
You shouldn’t get into fights with your parents but if you disagree about something and you feel like you’ve crossed the line, you should apologize to them ASAP and pull back.
Don’t fight them and do or say some things that you’ll only regret later. Pode sentir-se arrependido depois, mas os seus pais podem não conseguir esquecê-los.
Se notar que as coisas aqueceram, faça uma pausa. Quando se acalmar, peça aos seus pais para falarem novamente e tente explicar-lhes a sua versão da história de uma forma simpática.
12. Trabalhar arduamente na escola e tentar obter boas notas
You don’t have to be the best student but your parents would appreciate your efforts to be the best you can possibly be. Also, behave in a nice way and don’t ever put them in a position where they need to feel ashamed of you in front of your teacher or other parents.
Keep in mind that you aren’t going to school because of your parents but because of your future, too. So, if you give your best to be a good student, you’ll make them proud but you’ll also set some good foundations for your future.
13. Don’t forget your parents’ birthdays and other special days
You can forget anyone else’s birthday but not your parents’. After all, that was a day that changed their lives forever.
That’s why they don’t deserve you to forget their birthdays either. Mother’s day, Father’s day, aniversário de casamento… Estas são algumas das datas que são muito especiais para os seus pais, o que significa que também devem ser especiais para si.
You don’t have to spoil them with some super nice gifts every time. For them, it is and always will be enough just to hear your voice over the phone and to know that you didn’t forget.
14. Apreciar o seu trabalho árduo e tudo o que fazem pela sua família
Happy kids = happy parents. However, I’m sure you aren’t even aware of all the things your parents had to give up to give you everything you ever wished for.
Tiveram de negligenciar tantas vezes os seus próprios desejos porque estavam a impedir os vossos. Tiveram de desistir da sua carreira ou de outras coisas que eram importantes para eles nesses momentos.
Todo o trabalho árduo e os esforços que fizeram foi porque queriam dar-vos uma vida melhor do que a que tiveram e deviam estar gratos por isso.
15. Surpreendê-los no seu aniversário de casamento
A wedding anniversary is a special date for every married couple. It’s the day your parents vowed eternal love to each other and that day really deserves to be celebrated.
Agora, pense em todos os aniversários que os seus pais tiveram de saltar por sua causa ou porque tinham muitas outras coisas a acontecer na família.
Well, now’s the time to repay the debt. Plan a romantic weekend getaway for them or a romantic trip for the two of them and make it the best anniversary they ever had.
16. Preste atenção à forma como se representa nas redes sociais
From the very first time you decide to create a social media profile, you should be careful about what you’re posting there and with what kind of people you chat with.
If you post some pics of yourself that you know your parents wouldn’t approve of, it’s a clear sign you don’t respect them. E ver essas fotos suas nas redes sociais pode fazer com que eles tenham muita vergonha de serem seus pais.
Also, if your parents ask you to check your mobile, you shouldn’t fight with them about it. After all, you shouldn’t hide things from them and that’s why it shouldn’t be a big deal for them to see your phone.
17. If you don’t live together, call and visit them often
Once you grow up, you’ll fly out of your nest and that is completely normal. It’s not going to be easy for your parents to handle it but they’ll know it’s for the best and they’ll be happy for you.
However, that doesn’t mean you should move out of your home and never visit or call them. That’s definitely not how you’ll make your parents happy.
Actually, it’s only the way you’ll break your parent’s hearts.
Visite-os, celebre feriados especiais com eles, convide-os a visitá-lo em sua casa e deixe-os ver os netos sempre que quiserem. E essas coisas vão fazer os vossos pais imensamente felizes.
18. Understand that they only want what’s best for you
Even if you’re a grown-up man/woman now, you need to understand that you’ll always be a little baby for your parents. They’ll always try to guide you and tell you what you should do and how you should behave.
E devemos sempre ouvi-los. After all, they have a greater life experience than you do and they’ll definitely give you the best advice because they’re the people who always want the best for you.
Todos os outros podem ser com ciúmes de ti and that’s why they may be fake around you and give you some bad advice – they want to see you fall down.
But that’s not the same when it comes to your parents because your failure and your pain hurt them just as much as it hurts you.
19. Nunca te esqueças de onde vieste
Tudo o que és e todas as coisas que tens na tua vida neste momento, tudo isso deves aos teus pais. Mesmo na velhice, nunca deves esquecer de onde vens e quem te criou.
That’s a huge part of you that shaped your entire character in a way. If you forget where you came from, you’ll lose a part of yourself and you’ll never be the same again.
Independentemente do que os outros digam, tenham sempre orgulho nos vossos pais. Maybe they had their mistakes but I’m sure they did their best to raise you and to give you everything you wanted. Most of all, a warm home and a happy family.
20. Tenta pagar-lhes por tudo o que fizeram por ti
Quando decidires o que queres fazer na vida, deves começar a atingir os teus objectivos. E quando atingires esses objectivos e te tornares uma pessoa independente, deves retribuir aos teus pais tudo o que eles te deram na vida.
Deixe-os ter paz de espírito a nível financeiro. Buy them some tickets to the destination they always wanted to visit but never had the opportunity. I’m sure it’ll be a nice surprise for them.
Surprise them with something nice for Father’s or Mother’s day, every anniversary, birthday or other special dates. Take care of them and don’t ever allow them to feel lonely.
Como é que posso fazer com que os meus pais fiquem felizes e orgulhosos de mim?
Simply listen to their advice and behave the way they were guiding you to behave for your entire life. That’s how they’ll know that their job as parents was successful and they will be proud of you.
You don’t have to do so many things in order to be a good daughter/son. Mostre à sua mãe e ao seu pai o quanto os aprecia e tente compensá-los por tudo o que fizeram por si.
E a melhor maneira de lhes pagar é ser uma pessoa boa e bondosa.
Your parents don’t expect you to be successful or famous, but they most surely expect you to be an honest and respectful person. And if you aren’t that kind of person, they’ll feel disappointed in you.
Como é que deixo de desiludir os meus pais?
The only way you can disappoint your mom and dad is by mistreating them and behaving disrespectfully towards other people. Once you improve your behavior, you’ll make them proud ASAP.
Também pode falar mais com eles e trabalhar para melhorar a vossa ligação. Por vezes, quando as crianças chegam à adolescência, a sua ligação com os pais pode ser seriamente prejudicada e a única forma de a resolverem é mantendo-se em contacto com eles.
Ajudá-los nas tarefas domésticas. No matter how tired you are sometimes, if they ask you politely to do something, don’t refuse them.
Estas são as pequenas coisas que podem fazer uma enorme diferença e fazer com que os seus pais se orgulhem de si, para variar.
Para concluir
I hope you now know how to make parents happy and that you’ll listen to this advice. Trust me, one day you’ll thank me because you’ll understand that your parents are what counts the most in your life.
Don’t ever allow yourself to realize it only when it’s too late. Don’t allow yourself to regret the way you treated them one day when you’re left without them.
Your friends, co-workers, even your loved ones… Those people may come and go out of your life but family stays forever. Your family members, especially your parents, will keep accepting and loving all of you no matter what and they’ll stick by your side despite everything. Forever.
