#96: Day 18 – Disrespecting Parents

Alright, listen up kiddies… Don’t!
It’s as simple as that…
They are the original special people in your life… no one will ever be able to replace that…

There’s not many things that I will give a blanket answer to, the way I see it, just about everything has shades of grey. But this is one I am pretty adamant about.
I realise, for some, this is easier said than done; I was lucky enough to have some pretty awesome parents, loving, supportive, and always tried to give me what they could… Some people are not so lucky, and lately I have been privy to some stories that, I am sad to say, have shocked me a little in that respect, and I guess, made appreciate just how lucky I am… I’m not going to go into them at all, it’s not my place. But to these people, if I could offer my two cents: Show your parents the respect they deserve. Don’t ever let anyone walk all over you, but these are your parents, for better or worse, you only get one set, and you don’t want to look back and regret the things that cannot be unsaid/undone…

Doom and gloom out of the way… Like I said, my parents are great! Really awesome people, and the thought of anyone disrespecting them boils my blood a little …admittedly we have disagreed from time to time, just like anyone would, but they have always been there for me when I needed them, and I only hope that one day I can return the favour…
Realistically I know I will never be able to repay them for all the things that they have done for me, and I probably don’t say this enough… So I would just like to say in front of the whole world (or the 6 people that read this blog at least…) Mum and Dad, you are awesome! Thank you!
