In Reply to: having an 8 parent? is it the difference in types that make our relationship difficult ? posted by Gretchen on May 29, 2001 at 12:50:29:
: Or is it just due to the fact that I want to go and move on and my dad justs wants to not let me go, and always have me around so that he can protect me.
: do fours have trouble dealing with 8 types esp. if its soemone they are friends with or related to? Even at the age of 21, i have to live life by his standards.
: Do eights think that everyone should live life on their terms? what is the primary motivation of an eight? why do they think this way?
: and me being a four, I rebel against but mostly avoid anything that reeks of a set of standards and rules. I want to live life on my own terms void of any standards or rountines. does every type need a rountine or at least a standard to live by even if they feel otherwise?
: due to the stubborn natures of a four and a eight, it is hard to be open minded about some things esp. when talking with each other. and this probably doesn't help the situation much.
: any comments, viewpoints and thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Exercise to spark your creative thinking? What would a 4 father do in the same case if he had an 8 daughter who wanted to move out? Try to visualize the answer to this question and then drift with your thoughts.
