I'm from the old school, my children never could and never can speak to me in a disrespectful manner I don't care how old they are or how wrong I am. If I am wrong or if I over step my bounds, which mothers can do from time to time, its ok for them to say "Mom, I didn't like this or I don't appreciate that". From there we can sit down and talk about it and if I was wrong, I can say sorry or if I feel I am not wrong, then we agree to disagree. But never, never, can they tell me to "shut up" or "mind your business", etc. I'm am 52 years old, my father is 93 years old, and I would never dream of being disrespectful to him. I guess kids learn from example, because my boys who are 31 and 27 years old treat their father and I with love and respect.
