I agree and disagree about running off and hiding when you know your parents will be mad with you. It is both good and bad to see them at their boiling point.
First of all, I agree because no one likes to get yelled at. Obviously kids are going to do whatever they can to avoid as much a punishment as possible. Most people I know don’t confront their parents head on about something they will get in trouble for. For instance, if I got all B’s and C’s on my report card I wouldn’t pull it out of the mail and hand it straight to my parents. I would put it on the kitchen counter and make sure my parents find it when I’m not around. If I was around when they saw it, I would end up taking their entire wrath before they had a chance to talk about it and vent their anger. On the other hand, if I was able to avoid them for a period of time they would take amongst themselves first and slowly release their anger. They would probably end up being more reasonable with me about my grades and my punishment would be lighter or at least they wouldn’t freak out on me. This leads to the point where I disagree with the sentence.
Like I mentioned before, kids will always do what they can to avoid harsh punishments, but is that always a good thing. There is a reason behind our parents’ anger with us and it is that they want to see us perform to our full potential. Maybe it would be a good thing if we caught their complete wrath. This would tell us how much they care about us, but also how much they’re disappointed in us. Their disappointment and anger just tells us how well they think we can perform. If they didn’t get upset with it would mean they don’t care enough about us to work up a fit. That is why I think it might be bad to hide from our parents when they’re upset with us.
