"Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners. "Laurence Sterne

I so much agree with Laurence Stern on that .....This join hat Iam talking about in my pst blogs naming" Don't do onto others..." and Age ain't nothing but a number"....Our interaction and others start with ourslves stat with the degree of  self respect with which as Sterne states guides our morals.... It also defines the limitation of your rights and others rights aka if you want respect from other people you Need to respect them first.It doesn't matter the type of relationships : in your family, school, friends , Work......
'"I" for example, whatever i am doing for you expects that much from you!!!and whoever you are  if i do something to help you   i do it because Iwant to but also because i want something back from you.... The first one being R.E.S.P.E.C.T.;Second of all I would be doing that thing because I have affection for you and would expect some in return as well....once again in oppostion to "don't do onto others".... Please treat others as you want to be treated!!!

Raising your kids :
Parent it doesn't matter you used to be a kid one day and probably had those moments of "oooooo i hate cmy parents!!!" Think avout those moments and how you would have liked to be treated even as a kid! "If you do that trust me your kids would Respect and Love you more .My father was the best Dad ever : he always treated his kids as his equals!He asked me to behave like a kid when iI was behaving or reasoning like an adult.Showed me how much he believed in me annd guided me  into living my life for myself and not as I was expected to....He was not Perfect but all my life and till the day he died he held my hand with Love and respect.OK that's it about my father....That would be developed in  depth in one of y future blog
Children :
Don't be unfair towards your parents .. You might often hear them say "Wait until you have kids .... one day you will realise how hard it is to have kids".
I haven't been the perfect daughter but no matter what Iwas doing or saying( except for couples of busrt out that i sooooooooooo rehret today) I tried to always think twice before doing or talking whatwas on my mind... Seriously I have rehrets of course we all do but that much as I have always tried torespect them as much as I could!BUT MY REPECT TO THEM has its limitation: I want and Need respect back from them ... Which was not always the case with a "controlling" mother. She is not perfect but still my one and only mother and I love her to death...
