Parents Value...??? Whats your religion says??? What you say???

In the Bible, if we don't look after our own family including our parents we are worse than one that has no faith.

Well me as a person I love my parents. Never disrespected them, although I think they think I have sometimes. I grew up just knowing that my parents demanded respect. To go against what they wanted was to be disrespectful. I don't know if it's religion that has taught me that but it's just the way I was brought up because my parents were not that much into religion growing up. Now I have my own kids and it seems they are more wilder than I was. I love them dearly but they are less respectful and I have brought them up in the church environment. Sometimes I look at what they say or do as being more independant and confident because it's really not that disrespectful but it's not anything I grew up and was able to do. I know any religion teaches to be respectful and obedient to your parents but men are taught to leave their parents and cling to their wife once they are married.

It used to be that way in the West. Some people still feel that way. My mother chose to move into the place she lived, because it had a health care center attached, basically a nursing home, but one they did a whole lot more for the people because they were paying a lot of money to live there. There are other nursing homes where the patients are all on medicaid - government assisted payment, and while they put on a show of having facilities, they really don't CARE that much about the people, and only the ones that make the most noise do they pay attention to.

These are the values taught to all in their homes...apart from the religion...and these family values work more than the bookish knowledge....those children who see how their parents respect and love their parents...same way they treat their parents...its mentioned in most of the religions...and i think its our duty to look after our parents...

All the religions that I have studied or been exposed to say the same thing as yours. I am a Christian and my holy book has 10 commandments to live by and one of them is "honor thy father and thy mother". Throughout the book it says we should obey our parents, listen to their advice, care for them when they are old and unable to support themselves and behave in ways that honor them and let people know that they raised us properly to be honorable people. Not that everyone listens to that wisdom but most of the trouble in our Western society would disappear if we truly honored our parents.

Despite the fact that my religion does say that I should respect my parents, I don't need my religion to tell me that. Instead, it is something that I've done my entire life and something that I don't think would be any different even if I wasn't a Christian woman. I know that my parents were essential in me becoming the person that I am today and that is the reason that I would never want to disrespect my parents.
