I don’t teach my kids to blindly respect adults

 I don’t teach my kids to blindly respect adults

Because not all adults deserve it

If you talk down to them
If you mock them or belittle their feelings
If you try to embarrass them in front of others
Guess what?
You’re not getting respect just because you’re older

Respect is mutual in this house
Age doesn’t earn you a free pass to treat my kids like poorly
Or to stomp all over their boundaries
Or to demand obedience without question

I’m raising kids who know their worth
Who aren’t afraid to speak up when something feels off
Who understand that real respect is earned by how you treat people
Not by the number of candles on your birthday cake

So if you want their respect
Show them the same in return
It’s really that simple
