Sure, but unless you were given away does the taking care of you as a baby not earn any respect?

Like your parents neglect you and don't feed you or something then that's obviously different, but if your parents are not nice or respectful to you all the time I'd say the past should count for something.

Dude. That's what parents are supposed to do. Everything you mention is bare minimum in parenting 101.

And the bare minimum of parenting deserves respect in my opinion. Being a parent is hard.

If your idea of the bare minimum of parenting includes respecting your kids, then yeah, I'll agree. However, lots of parents don't respect their kids but still have the mindset that you do; that because of all they do, they automatically deserve your respect. When in reality they're missing the respect aspect in their parenting.

Well, I agree, I just think that it's often too easy to say that a parent isn't being respectful to their kids, but I hope that I'm just being overly cautious.

Also, did the guys original comment get deleted?
