Sometimes , in life , we ask ourself if we want other family, even all know that we can choice friends but never can choice our family. Do you really like and love your family? in special parents and brothers or sister. I can say that i love both, mother and father too, my father pass away, but i keep nice memories in my soul about him, was a great man and a good father. MY MOTHER IS SOMETHING ELSE, I NEVER RESPECT SHE, EVEN I LOVE SHE A LOT. Even a kid must to respect his mother, she was not so involved in my life, i was staying with my grandparents, she was cold with me, and now, after years, i am cold with she too, because she teach me this. I help she a lot, i love she a lot, but i don t respect, even i want,...I can t forgot that in my past life she don t was there when i need she. So, you respect and love both parents, or just love them?

I respect and love my father, I guess cause being the middle child out of 8 kids, I was daddy's little girl. I love my mother but I do not respect her. She thinks the Whole world rises and needs to shine on the baby girl of the family, my little sister. Mom always preached to everyone that she treated us equal but nope she didn't. The B*** always and still is getting everything she wants. My mom complains to everyone that all of her kids uses her. nope sorry the only one that uses her is the B. Any time I ask her to watch my daughter or come to a program that is going on with my daughter she has to bring my little sisters 3 kids. who by the way doesn't mind or listen because they dont need to be punished. but let my daughter do something wrong and my mom tried to back slap her. When a 9 year old knows she is not loved by grandma like those 3 kids are it hurts. At Christmas my daughter was sitting next to me in moms front room while presents where put out and mom gave each of her grand kids 10 presents each except for my daughter, and my mom looked at me and said I forgot to get her anything. I picked my daughter up and left. I have not talked much to mom lately. I do talk to dad I wish he would leave mom My little brother who is only 15 comes and stays at my house alot because of moms BS. He gets shoved to the side because of my sisters 3 kids. Sorry about the bad language! And NO Im not jealous of that 300 pound fat lazy ho**!

Hi smily.......... I like your question,because this generation is really backward in loving their parents,giving respect to them,obey their parents and.....but the main thing is they love their parents...............they never gives what parents expecting from them...............ya your feelings....a.parent must be a friend not an instructor.......what we give to our parents will return back to us from our children.......

You very right, we can respect, day by day life, they are our parents, but is important if we respect deeply, and we are agree with all decisions who our parents take in past life...but of course we love parents, no matter what

Yes,i love and respect my parent very much.I love both my parents, it took both of them to get me to where i am now and am doing good for myself at 35.Both parents play a substantial role in our life and it very difficult to fill the debt for the major sacrifices they did till we grown up.

I both love and respect my parents. Although we don't always get on, I understand that they have expereinced life and they do actually know what is best for me. They worked hard for me when I was a child to make sure I had my basic needs met, and also good things like toys and outings. Now that I'm older I understand that parenthood is a difficult thing and I love and respect my parents for what they have done and continue to do for me.

I really Love and respect my parents and i am soo happy with them. I know not every one matches with our attitude but we have to think they also dont have any choice to change their children God have gifted us to them and they accepted us with all our odd attitudes and bad habits so in return we should also have to respect them. I want to say that dont be soo rude with your mother, i know she left you and she has a cold attitude towards you but if you are replying her in the same way then what will be the difference between you and her. Love her and i think she will realize very soon that she was wrong about you. Make a difference. Think about it

i'm sorry that you have had a cold relationship with your mother. i guess you win some, you loose some. she may have had her reasons for behaving the way she did. so try to get out the negative feelings from your mind and be at peace with yourselves. that will make you happy. as far as i am concerned, i love and respect my parents a lot. i may not see eye to eye with them always, and i do crib about my mom's attitude sometimes. but that in no way affects the way i feel for them. i love them both a lot and respect them too.

respect them more - love tends to come automatically when respect is more
really everybody trys to love the parents but only some love with respect as i tend to respect my parents more than i love since the case of love comes when there is more respect.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,icesmile.Sorry to hear that your mother was cold with you,but i think you should forget the unhappy things,and be more friendly to her.Maybe she had some reason you didn't know. Fortunately,i really love and respect my parents very much.From my childhood to now,they have given me a lot of help,even my mother quit her job for taking care of me.I have to say,they are good people.In life,they are wise,wide-minded,kindly and so on,and i will love and respect them forever. Best regards to you,icesmile

hello friends.... yes i really i really love and respect my parents as much as i can do. because they are the only one who are responsible for our life and for our future. in my way of thinking they should be the only one whome we have to worship more than a god. every people in the world should should respect their parents. the people who dosent love or respect their parents they are the only one who wont respect any one else.........

I love my parents a lot. Sometimes we feel that it's better to be with our friends than to stay in our house with them, but come to think of it, our parents keep on reminding us what we should do. Sometimes is really irritating that you feel you're not doing anything good at all, but they are just doing their obligation us our parents. It is more than an obligation, they are doing that because they love us. For me it is just right to give back the favor to them. We should love and respect our parents.

You should, if you don't respect her as a mother, then respect her because she is a human being. A person is entitled to it.

My parents are the closest person to me in my life and they are very precious and dear to me.Truthfully saying they are very loving and from younger days they have been very strict to me,until when i entered high school where the rules of the family are renegotiated and a new form of relationship is formed. They have given me plenty of freedom nowadays and even so,they still love me more than before and my love for them also increased.I don't love them for the car they given me to use and the money for me to spend.I love them for giving birth to me,for giving me a life and enjoy this beautiful living here...

No one deserves our love and respect more than our own parents. The more we thank them for their favours, the less it is. They are matchless gift of Almighty God for us. Their pure and selfless love and affection, their spirit of self-sacrifice and self-effacement for the welfare and betterment of their children and their untiring efforts and labour in bringing up their children command our respect and love. Their love is fathomless. Therefore, we are supposed to respect and love them immensely, for they are worthy to be repected and loved.
