Respect isnt just given.........
Does anyone else agree with me that respect is earned and not just given. even to your parents and family members. my aunt is acting like such a child and she started yelling at me at work today all because i said that she acted just liek her mother, my grandma. she ended her rant with you WILL learn to respect me and i couldnt take it anymore i blew up at her. Respect? RESPECT?!?!??! First of she has done nothing to earn my respect and every time she sees me its one put down after another. she may be 43 but she is still a child. when she finally decides to grow up and show me that she can be a mature adult. maybe then she will earn my respect. but not a moment before. Liz i feel so bad for what happened. please forgive me.

respect is something one has to earn.. however courtesy to an elder family member is givin blindly, regaurdless of there behavior .. unless said behavior is physically morally or ethically damaging... an elder family memeber may not deserve respect but should recieve courtesy nonetheless.. it doesnt matter wether or not they follow your examle and begin treating you correctly ... i know that sounds old fashioned and utterly ridiculous, but thats stepping up to the plate and being the better person.. no one ever said it would win you metals..
