Hey @LiteraryLark
I totally get it and didnt mean to seem insensitive or cold. I understand valuing their opinion. I guess I look at it as tolerance level. I'd say " when I ask for your opinion its for me to bounce ideas off of, not a problem for you to solve. Id like you to just listen"
This way you have set the boundaries and expectations for what you want to talk about. However if they violate this boundary over and over its worth considering not asking anymore. You get upset when they do it, so you have to change the dynamic, hard as it is.

I have a very rocky relationship with my parents and I want to make the effort to gain their input without upsetting them.
