respect for ones parents

[magekillr]

I don't believe in Respect For Parents unless there is need to respect them... but swearing at them?! I can't remember ever having sworn at either of my parents, or behind their backs, either. They're both fantastic and I really appreciate them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT if you parents respect you, then give them respect in return.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

arguing with your parents is disrespect..whether you think so or not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's hard for me not to...but i hold my tongue and then talk to them about the argument later. (i am prideful)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no matter how you feel, arguing with them is ALWAYS disrespect...

[1_man_army]

The problem isn't just the children though, alot of it is parents. Alot of parents are just too easy on their children and give in to their children for an easy life.

 

 

 

For example the video you mentioned, would that child shout and scream for what he wanted if he knew that his tactics wouldnt work? I dont think so. What people forget is that children are smarter than they give them credit for, if they find a way to get what they want, they will use it to manipulate their parents into getting their way all the time.

[apinagez]

 

 

That would be too conservative. And as all conservative beliefs are holding society back, it shouldn't happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liberalism != political correctness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't understand. I didn't mention political correctness or liberalism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought you meant liberals would say that it is too conservative?

 

 

 

It is considered by some people to be politically incorrect to beat your children. Those, however, aren't necessarialy liberals.

 

 

 

Myself, I consider political correctness absurd. It's necessary to beat your children from time to time, even though dialog - treating them as your equals - is also really important.

[Viktorkrum77]

 

 

 

Parents need to start beating the youngins again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That would be too conservative. And as all conservative beliefs are holding society back, it shouldn't happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so you don't think that children who need to be disciplined should not be spanked? ever?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was meant to be sarcastic :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I knew it! :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yea, my brother got horrible grades in school, and my parents banned him from Runescape, and the computer. I was suppose to watch him, keep him off the computer (for $20 =P~), but they became too leanint because of him, and let him back on the computer, dispite his grades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing I feel bad for, is I can basically convince my parents to buy me anything off the internet, I usually tell them I need it, I actually do, but half of me just wants it for myself.

I think it extends further than political correctness though. It's always the most liberal countries that make corporal punishment illegal (Sweden, for instance).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either way, it was a lame joke and really is irrelevant :P

[Kenshinjapan]

I'd beat the [cabbage] out of the [bleep] little kid if I was his parents. (And he sounds 10 cause of his pansy squeaky voice wanting chocolate milk)

[lawrencekill]

What scares me is throughout all my teens, although I may not have agreed to everything my parents did, I have always respected them. The same goes for my sister. My brother on the other hand doesn't even know the meaning of respect, and this saddens me. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't shout and swear, but he has no respect for anything anyone does for him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take for example the other day he asked my dad to watch a dvd with him. My dad agreed and then went upstairs because my sister was calling him. It turns out her computer was broken and she wanted him to help her out. It took him about an hour to sort out then he came back downstairs to watch the dvd. Then my brother turns around and says "don't go back on promises idiot. " and walked off. My dad just left it at that and went out for a bit to get some food, when he came back he started looking for his mains adapter for his laptop and that's when my brother says he's hidden it from him to punish him for not coming downstairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't get it. If you have no respect for the people that bring you into the world, surely you will have no respect for anyone. My brother from the exact same upbringing as myself still manages to act like a complete spoilt brat. The thing is, I know I went through some kind of phase where I didn't like my parents or whatever, but I would never be so rude to their faces like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only hope that when I decide to have children, they do not turn out to be disrespectful common idiots. Guess I'll have to teach them well :P lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well from what I read, from your brother's point of view, he said his dad "promised" he would watch the dvd with him, no one mentioned when, so the promise wasn't really broken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But... if you make a promise you should keep it. Many times parents promise something, forget, reminded by child, forget again because there are no consequences. If the dad really did break the exact "promise", he should really think about what he can and cannot keep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "stealing the adaptor after calling your dad an idiot" was a bit too much I think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i tell you what his donkey would be grounded and spanked at the same time if i had a kid. I aint never gonna let my kid act like that. My dad dosent, and i sure as hell wont.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In some states you can't spank your kids. It's considered "physical abuse".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So say good-bye to your kid after you spank him. :twisted:

Yes always.

 

 

 

Parents: 1+1=3

 

 

 

Kid: 1+1=2

 

 

 

Parents: You are disrespectful, I'm right. Who brought you into this... blah blah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stating your own opinion is disrespectful? Conflicting opinions can lead to a debate, and debate is arguing. So... you can piece that together yourself.

Parents are also part of the problem. Some don't discipline their kids, or don't know how.

In English, 'has a high living standard. They are really among the highest in the world'.

[mixand]

i respect my parents all the way, most kids don't think how much their parents do for them, give them a home, feed them, clothe them and love them. and allot of the time they don't get much in return, like in that video

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my parents don't use hurting as a punishment they say we will turn out as girl

 

 

 

hitters and use violence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i really hate the new style of parenting some people are using, attachment parenting, with their kid 24/7 and not punishing them, sleep with their mum and breast feeding even at ages 5+ and not even nappy's! for gods sake imagine what they will be like when they grow up. the worst spoiled brats ever...

I COMPLETELY agree. I think a lot of the parents in this world need to crack down and toughen up on their children. They need to instill the value of respect into their children, instead of worrying about the little demon child raining down fiery judgment upon them.

I went to Sweden this summer to stay with a friend. He has 4 brothers/sisters. The 3 oldest, and him, are extremely well behaved kids/adults. The youngest was born after the no-spanking law was passed, and he's an utter brat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to mention having a high living standard is completely irrelevant to spanking.

[deloriagod]

I'd beat the [cabbage] out of the [bleep] little kid if I was his parents. (And he sounds 10 cause of his pansy squeaky voice wanting chocolate milk)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please refrain from making such a fool or yourself. Maybe you seem 'cool' when you do that in real life but until I meet you, you're still just another kid on the internet to me. You won't earn points in my book by acting big and tough when you're not even here to defend yourself..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic: I respect my parents for the most part. They may be hypocritical and think of me as immature but whatever. I don't mind being around my parents until I do something I normally do and my dad suddenly becomes the big man around. I'm 60 lbs lighter than him but the same height. And I have a problem with others wanting to be the biggest man around so I can get disrespectful at times. I guess I'm used to showing my dominance over most of my friends and so it's just habit to try to do so when anyone tries to be the dominant person around. As far as that kid goes.. I've never cursed at my parents. I may talk behind they backs but I'm not stupid enough to do it to their face. I don't feel like being stuck at home when my friends are out having fun.

They passed such a law? :P They are truely liberal. But I still want to live there! :P

[Randomnameless]

I respect my parents, they might not think that all the time but i do. I find i descaple when kids my age talk to their parents like that in public. I respect my father so much i have even started to act like him, ten to twelve years earlier than i thought. Political Correctness is as good for America as the homeless society is.( the ones that can get jobs they just don't because they are lazy.)

[blushenka]

Yeah a bit of spanking never hurt anyone. :P

 

 

 

I see kids from time to time on the street that are crying and moaning for the sake of doing so, in that extremely annoying way that kids do when they want attention or want various stuff and they want it NOW. And the parent, usually the mother, is obviously embarassed but doesn't know what to do, she reprimands the kid but in a hushed nonconvincing voice which has the result that the kid only yells out louder. It's obvious such kids were never punished. When they grow up and start having a bit of common sense (those that are blessed with this wonderful trait, of course), then you can reason with them, but when they're small they'll usually behave like little monsters if you don't show some authoritah ;d

[Turnip]

 

Yeah. I've seen the video you're talking about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My little sister and I got into an argument today about the way she treats my mom. I told her that if I ever had children who disrespected me the way she does my mom, I would slap the piss out of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I respect my parents greatly. They really are devoted ones. I think that respect for your parents is an EXTREMELY good trait to have, a trait that I think is quickly fading in today's younger generation. They seem to have no respect for anyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saw some youtube video. Kinda relates to this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In one part, an asian kid has about 10 classes I think, gets A's in all but english, which he had a B+ in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then his mother goes on about punishment for B+ and concludes with... (warning might be a bit racist to some people)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Timeout? No you don't deserve a timeout. That's what white people do. Back in Asia, we have something called knockout."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, knockout hella funny, but don't think he deserves a knockout for one B+ though...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, some kids just need a beating

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do realize that movie was a joke?

The "stealing the adaptor after calling your dad an idiot" was a bit too much I think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uh, it was watching a movie, I'm sure something like that could wait an hour if the kid really wanted to watch it with his dad.

[Militaris]

Parents, like everyone need to earn respect, it is not a given right. Just because someone is a parent does not make them a good or desirable person which deserves to be respect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With regards to my own parents, for many things I do respect them, in other ways I would refuse to because they have not earned or have lost my respect.

[98_r4nge_98]

I agree with that but some people on this topic want to beat their children, I can understand spanking them for discipline but beating them? That's going to far, if anyone here is beaten by their parent, no disrespect or anything, but I would like your parents to be sent to jail, beating children isn't right, it's just wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, you should have a lot of respect for your parents unless they abuse you.

[hipyhop00]

Disaplining your children is NOT against the law. There is a huge diffrence between disapline and child abuse and i dont think there any any contries where you will be jailed for disapline.

[Sp4de]

 

Parents need to start beating the youngins again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We need to give you a beating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we need to stick it in your pooper.

[speedofsound]

That's horrible. Parents deserve your ut-most respect especially your mother in this case. You have to consider they are most likely extremely stressed out and don't need you adding to it. They pretty much give up 18+ years of their lives just to raise you! Some kids these days have no idea what their parents do for them! I hope everyone takes note. This child is a horrible rotten peice of [cabbage].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Respect your parents.

[BlueLancer]

If I was like that kid in the video at his age and told my mom "get me some mf*ing chocolate milk" (nice sentence by the way), I'd deserve to get a beating, or my eyes carved out of my head with a reverse blade katana, ground to powder, and mixed with chocolate milk, and having to drink it and then watch barney for the rest of the day only hearing the sounds.

[BrineShrimp]

I would be missing a leg and a few fingers if I had that kind of attitude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd be kicked out of the house AND loose a few fingers and a leg if I had that attitude :-#

you get beat for something you did wrong with a belt or stick, it makes them learn their lesson otherwise if you just get grounded, chances are you'll do it again. I've been whipped with stick before when I was little, but it does teach me not to do the stuff that I shouldn't be doing again. It ain't child abuse btw, child abuse would be if your parents are going to the "EXTREME"

[Joordaan]

Im simple..if I do something stupid, get in trouble(notbeatin or anything, just yelled at and stuff) and if my parents do something stupid.. Nothing happens!
