Respect, is missing in the world these days

I was out for dinner with my personal kids and their dad.  I did not like what I was watching happening around the table - no respect.  I asked my oldest something - the two of us were talking and her father interrupted the two of us, by answering for her.  I immediately informed him that she could answer for herself.  It was the next thing that threw me - my youngest told me, her mother, that I was being rude, for interrupting her dad.  Trust me, I quietly informed her that it was her dad that was being rude by first interrupting my oldest and myself.  The whole event threw me for a loop, and I spent the rest of the evening and this morning in deep thought.

When I got to my computer I got hunting online to see what other people thought about the subject of respect.  It is a very hard thing to define and teach.  We may be bending over backwards at home to teach the concept, but the rest of the world is fighting us on this one.  I did find the following article that did help, and I thought everyone else might like - so enjoy.  If you have any ideas let me know.



I would also like to add, not interrupting others, not arguing just for the sake of arguing.  If you are capability enough to help, then help.  Pay your share of costs when doing things with your friends. 

I found this original list at http://activerain.com/blogsview/1273394/respect-what-does-it-look-like-and-sound-like-to-your-clients-see-if-you-have-the-same-perspective

Take care until next time.
