As an adult is it disrepectfull if you openly but politely disagree with your parent?

My mother still thinks that if you disagree with her it is not honoring her as a parent. Please share your opinionsAs an adult is it disrepectfull if you openly but politely disagree with your parent?
Well, my mother thinks so too. She is just not wiling to let go.


Look, many a times parents find it diffiult to see their children as adults, cause they have seen them in nappies and stuff!


Well, prsonally I suggest you ignore your mum(politely yeah)..and limit your opinion 2 yourself as much as possible. with time, she will get the idea that you can take your own decisions and they are not childish or wrong!





But then again maybe its a cultural thing. In my country, ppl expect u to do everything ur mum says. even marry whover they lump u with and join the career they want, and blah blah blah(gags)


Hence my mum smtimes finds my decisions dfificult to accept..


I hope u r not from such a country!





If u r nt frm such a country then ur mother will get over it in time..just do as i said-try to avoid arguments,(don't let her knw wht u think-she need nt knw abt it-just do it.)





If the decision involves and affects u then specailly u need nt listen to ur mother.


As long as u r above 16,of course. :DAs an adult is it disrepectfull if you openly but politely disagree with your parent?
It's immature to expect someone to agree with you all the time. No, it is not disrespectful. Parents and kids disagree all the time. Especially since you're an adult, you're old enough to make your own decisions and have your own opinions. Insecure parents need their kids (especially older kids) to agree with them all the time and never question them. Realistically, that is not how it is. As if parents are infallible; they are far from it. It is a bit of a sign of being a control freak. Parents aren't there to just boss people around without being questioned; parents and kids are supposed to work together.
Honoring your parent does not mean not thinking or making decisions for yourself. It is the ability to be respectful of your parent, and nothing more. It doesn't mean you have to think like them, act like them, or agree with them.





Honor, by dictionary definition, simply means ';respect';. It doesn't mean agree with, it doesn't mean abandon the person you are when you're in the presence of.





If your mother has difficulty understanding this, perhaps you should buy her a dictionary, and highlight it for her?
Beliefs have been past down from generation to generation. What was known a hundred years ago and what the facts are now is like day and night and those beliefs still are accepted over facts. I don't see it as disrespectful to disagree. to keep a falsehood alive is crazy.
You can disagree with anyone you want. That's your right. Disagree isn't the same as honor. I think your mom is the one that needs to be more ';honorable'; and let others disagree with her and admt when she's wrong.





EDIT: I see we got a visit from the thumbs down fairy. The thumbs down ';fairy'; is a term for someone who just comes in and thumbs everyone down mindlessly. The fairy could be identified by NOT having ANY thumbs down. I'll just thumb that person down for the rest of us!

No, it isn't disrespectful. She's the disrespectful one for not giving you, an adult person, the oh so great privilege of having an opinion.
we all have our own thoughts, and if you disagree, she cant brainwash you into agreeing. i disagree with my parents on alot of things. im gay and im not religious like them
depending on how you disagree with your parent would be more of a base on whether or not it is disrespectful but if your parents feel it's disrespectful to disagree with them then just when they bring up something you don't agree with change the subject.
You're not being disrespectful, then you can disagree all you want.


My mom was also like that, but my dad always valued my honest opinion.
i think that is not true but you know the old saying ( a leopard can not change it's spots) so with that just nod and say ok mom and then do what is right
As long as you do it politely it is not disrespectful. You are entitled to your own opinion, just because she says something doesn't mean she's always right.
You're an adult. Say what you want. If your mother can't handle it, she's not being true to you OR herself.
Of course not.





Your mother is daft.
just because shes your mom doesn't mean she cant be wrong.
she is a control freak. It has nothing to do with respect
