Since I am seeing this word pop up a whole lot this morning I feel it needs to be discussed.

I see Respect being popped up about meaning of honor.

The way I see respect has nothing to do with someone honoring me

Respect to me is the meaning of common courtesy.
If you come into my house I expect you to recognize that it is a clean well taken care of house. That means you do not walk through mud then walk through my house and tracking mud behind you as if you are in comfort in my home to do so. There should be a certain amount of embarrassment on your part to know that your shoes are muddy and to respect that I do keep this house clean that you stop at the door pull your muddy shoes off and feel free to walk through my clean house.

If you are a guest to my house ask me that you would like to have something to drink if I did not offer or ask me where the cups are do not make yourself at home and rummage through every cabinet looking for a cup.

If you are my neighbor and you known me for 5 years do not feel that when you come over that you can walk into my house anytime you want to as if you live here. Always knock!

I expect the same common courtesy out of my step children. When they come they know where their bedrooms are at. I am not your bell hop. Take your suitcases and put them in your bedroom.

Do not treat me like I have invaded and stole your father. I am no different than any realities in your family when you go to their house. Same rule applies. You do not smart mouth your grandparents, aunts or uncles, you are a guest at their house. You ask for something if you do not know where it is at or wonder if they have it, you do not make their house, their money, their resources yours, You are privilege to use their resources (electric , internet, food) when you are over their house. Their money is not yours. Blood does not make it your money. Did you work for it? No, so in the time being it is not your money. Your custodial parent is your main house; your non Custodial parent is a visiting place bet on it that a lot of your non custodial stuff isn't going to be yours. That means if your non custodial parent purchased property with your step mother that does not mean it is yours when your father passes away.
