A lot of parents unfortunately believe that respect is a one-way street.
- Domenic_S 5y agoI don't remember where I read it, but this is a big description of my childhood experience: > Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”. And sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”. They think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
