Is it normal to dislike your parents?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. You can love your parents, feel grateful to them, or care about them and still dislike them—or dislike spending time with them.

Parents are people, not automatic best friends. Clashing personalities, old hurts, strict rules, or just not enjoying how they act can all leave you feeling irritated or distant. Lots of people feel this way, even if they don’t say it out loud.
