Do you feel you have to

[KplusK]

respect your parents just cause they gave birth to you? I mean i respect both of my parents and i think thats just cause of how i was brought up (mother around pops never was) but i know some people who don't feel the same.

fukking without a condom doesn't warrant respect.

I don't have to but I do it because holding that vitriol is like a cancer. I let it go a few years ago, took years to get to that point but now I don't hold any hard feelings BUT I keep my distance

Not a chance.

Your family only matters if they are helping you with positive reinforcement. If they are trying to tie up your time with crazy requests and phone calls, you have to stop picking up the phone and stop attending the family “meet ups”.

Standards should be applied equally across the board. You wouldn’t let a friend try to bring you down so why does your family get a free pass? They don’t. You won’t let them if you’re smart.

If your family is bringing you up and helping you grow, then hold on to them tight, for most this is simply not true. Your family is a time suck. You can’t choose your family, but you can certainly choose how they influence you. You don’t need to completely axe people, they did raise you, but there is certainly no obligation to do as they wish throughout your entire life. If they are just dragging you down, cut the cord.

but if you respect adults wouldn't that mean respect your parents as well

Took me years to learn that. It's hard but you're right, it make sense to respect just off the fact that you're here.

You should respect your parents (unless they molested you, allowed you to get molested, or drugged you) but you do not have to honor them if they mistreated you. If they were abusive and unsupportive then you can let them rot in a nursing home while you relish in the fruits of your labor. If you have a good reason to cut them off by all means do so. Sometimes parents don't even plan to have you. They just couldn't afford the abortion.

Nope, I believe that parents still have a responsibility to care for their kids and give them support after giving birth. Every set of parents doesn't do that and that's what separates parents who deserve respect from parents who don't deserve respect.

I respect my mom cause she brought me up good an I respect my pops cause everyone respects my pops, hes an OG. But if ya parents don't give you shyt to respect, fukk 'em. If my parents were junkies or sumn I wouldn't respect that, I couldn't.

Finger fukk respecting ANY adult who don't deserve it though...

 

[KplusK]

its gets tricky to me cause i feel kinda like lady said...if they've done something to harm you then i can see you having a reason not to respect one or both of them. I treat my parents like i treat any and everyone. they've never harmed me in any way as a child (and just cause my pops wasn't around i still respect him as i do anybody else) and never disrespected me as an adult for me to lose respect for either one of them.

does that support juste means motherly or fatherly support as in guidance or morals and things of that nature cause what about a parent that was trying and just can't get right financially would they not get respect either

Yeah that's what I mean. A parent who gives guidance and promotes good morals to their child shows that they care about raising their children so I would say parents who do this deserve respect. Financial issues don't factor in for me.
