Do you respect your parents?

page 1 of 2

Sometimes I wonder, does everyone respect their parents? Well for me, they're my most important people in the world. They brought me into this life and they help me with almost everything I ask for, even though I have to help out a lot. (I'm the oldest sibling in the family out of 3 brothers and sisters.)

Some other people, just hate them for life. Maybe it's because they don't get as much respect from them, or maybe their parents are just careless and want all the time to themselves. So I'm here to ask, do your parents respect you?

My parents respect me, but I don't always respect them. When they tell me go to bed I stay up (sometimes), when they tell me not to run off or stray, I do. I'm a disobedient child at times, but thats why I respect them as much as I do. To put up with me, still love me, yea their the coolest to me. I'm learning to be more obedient now as I get older. :nya:

mmm...to be honest... sometimes ^_^'

Yea i do all the time, but sometimes it gets so fustrating that i don't. But usually i do, they love me and i love them y wouldnt i.

Of course i respect them. :D

You cant just respect then not respect your parents <_<
i respect my dad, when he asks me to do stuff, i do it out of respect
As for my mum, i have very little respect for her, so anything i do for her i do becuase regardless of that lack of respect there is still love.

Yes and no is my answre. I respect my parents for bringing me to this world. My father is hard working and cared for his family but he had a major fault of not being able to manage his finance. He did not have the concept of saving money for retirement. He had a good job and he spent for the family and the house but for the most part no one knows where the money went.

For a brief time in the late 60's economy was doing great. He bought the family for $20,000 then. Because of continuing booming economy the value of the house steadily climbed which is good. The problem was that my father loves to spend and he began tapping into the quity of the house for the money. By the time I intervened the mortage of the house balloon way past the original $20,000. I took away the financial responsiblity of paying mortage away from him and then I converted my parents home form home equity to traditional fixed-rate mortgage. and I stayed to take care of them.

My father was not perfect but how many person can be perfect? I think we all have fault somewhere. The main thing was in the core thing he did it right. He protected his family and he raised us and for that I am graeful.

My mother too, I respect greatly. She was what you called full-time house wife but she did her part in raising the family right. The sad fact was that because of my parents old fashioned culture, she was never given the opportunity that we take for granted which is education. She was industrious and smart. I considered her so smart at what she did on her own that I always wondered how high she could have gone if only she was given education that people in western countries were given. It just made me sad at waste of talent that was never tapped.

End result, I respoect my parents. XD

Wow, very well said Mughi. Sometimes, my parents make those kinds of mistakes too.

My parents are never around, I cannot even go to them when I need help...Whenever I say something, they take the exact opposite of what I'm trying to say (e.g. if I walk up to them one day and say "Hey, someone at school offered me drugs today" and I'm trying to tell them that I'm proud of myself for not excepting them and I want them to be proud of me too, all they do is say "what!? You're doing drugs!?!?!? I knew you were a druggy, get out of my house!"). that example did NOT happen, but that is how they react to certain things similar to that.

I'm afraid to talk to them, I do not feel comfortable around them and the only thing they do is put me through unneeded stress. I do not respect them. No matter how much I try, it's just not there. But then again, I have no respect for any authority figures and you can only guess how much trouble it has gotten me into my entire life....

I respect them.........doesn't mean I have to like them!! LOL ^_^

ooo yea of course i respect ma mom :) theres sometimes we get into little arguments about little things but we get over it lolz n also i have to respect her cause she did bring me into this world she can sure as hell take me out lolz :) XP

Yea I respect my parents..most of the time at least. When we're in a disagreement and I know what's best for me, then that's the time I usually talk back. I have a problem with that now than I did before..When i was younger, I usually just obeyed..but now that I'm older.. (I'm 17 now) i try to act more like an adult and tell them that they shouldn't look at me like I'm still a little kid. But I love my parents to death, I really do and I respect them so much.

Aww... you need a hug, Alchemy-chan. *Hugs* That's really hard, going through all that trouble with people that you have to live with.

yes I do

I do but sometimes it's really hard. I just try not to talk back even though I'm dying to.

Yes, of course! My parents also respect me. However, I do not let them have total control over me; thus I also exert some measure of authority in the house. I do sometimes debate their decisions if they seem wrong. They do the same to me.

Alchemy-chan's life is hard...

I do, I mean, they are my parents for crying out loud!!!
they raised me as a fine young lad, and thought me principals and moral.
they canged my shited dippers, and attended to my crappy concerts, they loved me even when I was that little pain in the ass not-even-a-year kid who wouldn't stop crying...

I can't imaine anyone raisng their voice to their mother... I can't do that... I love my mom... I trust her.
Now she is not jumping on a leg because of me smoking weed, but she know I'm not bad kid

Yes I respect my parents very much ^-^

I try to as best I can, but my parents are also real understanding and try to work with me if I have a problem with the way things are going.

no Not really well How can I put it .................... Well my parent are all worried about work now I seen Them all the time I wish I could respect My parent But so many time They make so mad I just go my room and cry see I got 1 older sister and she think I miss everything i can push u around I make fun of u but this one time I hit so hard That I really make her mad and gave me a a cut under my left eye But my parent Didn't bealive it so She everything her way and I also got ypunder sister She does't get me problem like the other one and also got a baby brother he ok but my parent every time I try to make them respect me I miss thing up I wish I have my parent trust me I do respect them but the don't to me but I am trying I get there respect some day till that day come I tell u guys ^^ chido

Hell, I respect my mom to the fullest. Me and her are like best friends. She always talks to me and gives me helpful advice. Whenever I have a problem, I ask her because she's the one I fully trust other than my friends. She's always there for me and I appreciate everything she has done to me. I mean everything. But sometimes she can get out of hand, but im used to it.

My father....I have no respect for him at all. I hate my old man...but let's not go there. I hate him as much as Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) hates his father. I don't want to talk about it, really.

I respect my parents even though there have been many times where they were far from perfect parents even abit disfunctional I wouldnt trade em for the world and I would give anything to have my dad back (he died when I was 13) I believe they respect and respected me even if we didnt always see eye to eye

Well, yeah I do. But sometimes they bother me and i get annoyed a little. :sweat:

of course...
