There is no respect.
-
Respect them for giving you life, and forgive them because they didn't do what they did without having a scarred past of their own. Compassion before bitterness
-
Don't do it.
-
what respect more like disgust, how can i help the child is my concern.
-
I never respected my mom, ever. Nobody told me it was ok, but from as far back I can remember, I new she wasn't worthy of my respect.
-
Up to the point that giving them respect causes you to have to sacrifice your self respect.
-
Every person deserves respect. Contrary to common perception, respect is not something that must be earned, it is something you give, because that is the civilized thing to do. If you don't give respect, who will? If their behavior is not as you have it be, then don't associate with them, but still give them the respect due all of our fellow creatures. Why do all creatures deserve respect? Because, without respect how are humans any different than the animals. They do not know the meaning of the word, but you do.

If you want to differentiate you, then love them also,If you get a chance , change them
-
Respect is earned and should not be freely given, that holds true no matter the relationship.
-
Respect must be commanded, not demanded. That means they have to earn it. Of course, this does not mean you should be rude to them, because then you'll only give them grounds to speak against you. Be polite, but remember that if you're self-supporting, you don't have to stand there and listen to them insult you. You can leave or hang up the phone. If you live with them, you can still be honest about how their behavior is affecting you. Tell them that you don't understand what you've done to make them speak against you, and that you want to just have a calm rational discussion about any disagreements. Even if they don't listen, at least you showed that you are a more mature person than they are.

It's a wierd but noble question, I had one of those parents. It's wierd because as much as I hated my step father I learned valuable lessons from him that I didn't realize until I got older. He showed no love to me at all but the love he showed my mom taught me how to love my wife. I learned to never, ever, ever lie no matter who asks you what and if the truth causes a problem, stand up for it. He was an ill-tempered workaholic but I learned work ethic. The things he didn't teach me were things I despised and vowed I'd never do to my kids, and after 4 of them mostly haven't done (89%). So, I use to hate him but now I respect him. Hope it helps

I shouldn't, and wouldn't, respect anyone who abuses me.
-
Parents are to be respected, no matter how ever thay are!
-
Even parents have to earn respect.
-
Zero. I am incapable of respecting anyone who doesn't respect me. :)
-
Respect enough to not argue. You are an adult. You live your own life. Not arguing doesn't mean that you accept what they say. It just means you say, "Thanks," and then do whatever you are going to do. If they are disturbing you peace of mind, stay away. You might even tell the parent why. Perhaps he/she doesn't even realize that they are being over bearing or demeaning or whatever it is that they are doing.
