How many of you live by the saying "Respect your elders"? If you do, do you draw the line anywhere?

My girl's cousin's fiance (who is like 60) tried to tell me something and I told him not to tell me how to raise my son. My girl's aunt and cousin jumped all over me and told me I need to watch what I say, who I say it to, and to respect my elders no matter what. After a whole day of being disrespected by these two, I blew up on her cousin and told her the only people from the family whose feelings I give a fuck about are my girl's parents, brother, and his son....and that I won't give anybody respect unless they earn that shit.

Any of you bump heads with in-laws and the relatives? It's been an interesting fuckin' day, and after all the abuse I told 'em all to lick it.

What would you do?

DISCUSS.

So you basically got punked by your girls family? you poodle..........
LOL...no. I kept my mouth shut 'cause I respect my girl and her relationship with her family. After 15 text messages and like 6 e-mails talking shit, I blew my top...and ol' wifey was on MY side.

It takes A LOT for me to get mad...I have patience like a motherfucker.

I battled my in laws for 8 years. Always respected them even when they stepped out of line.

One day I just went off and shocked the shit out of them. They slowed it down a bit, but still didn't stop.

Til one day we get a phone call and my lady starts crying after she hung up. I asked what happened and her mom said her dad was having shortness of breath, heart burn & was feeling light headed for the past 2 hours. They didn't have a clue as to what was going on.

I turned around and went back to what I was doing knowing damn well what was happening. 3 seconds later I turn back and tell my lady to get her mom on the phone. She started to tell me not to cause drama & I shut her up and told her to get her mom on the phone.

My mother in law answered the phone & I simply stated, "Look, I know we don't get along for shit & I could careless what you and him think of me, but my dad died of a heart problems and that's what your husband is having. Call 911 and get him help ASAP!"

Long story short, they got him to the E.R. and the doctors told them had he waited another 30 mins. he be a goner. I actually went to visit him in the hospital (to which they were in shock.) He had a triple by pass & I went to visit him after the surgery as well.

Not because I wanted acceptance, but because had I kept my back turned, he would of died & I couldn't live with myself knowing I could of did something about it.

We've since got along great and had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week as a family.

...but yeah Sydal, I think you did the right thing.

You gotta remember that stupid old people were stupid young people once, age shouldn't automatically garner a pass to say shit out of pocket and not be told.

Crazy ass story.

I think what REALLY pisses me off is the guy I told not to tell me how to raise my son didn't have a problem with me telling him that...it wasn't even on no disrespectful shit. I said, "I didn't tell you how to raise your daughter, so don't tell me how to raise my son". Him and I are good, but these fucks decided it was a problem.

My girl's parents think their own family is out of pocket...they just won't say it to their family members because of their culture. Her brother told 'em all what's up though...lol.

sounds like you handled it well.

so was he telling you you shouldnt make rap songs about your son?
LMAO! I said "If my son can tell me the definition of bitch or jackass, he can use the words as long as he uses them in the proper context".

He told me I should teach my son critical thinking, studying, etc. etc. I told him I'm not going to TEACH my son to cuss, but if he can use words correctly I'm not going to stop him...then I told him not to tell me how to raise my kid.

I know it sounds kind of fucked up, but my son can either learn words like "bitch" in the street and use them in a disrespectful manner, or he can learn the true definitions and use them if and when it's necessary.

Sydal I feel you on that man...

I respected the mother of my daughters family to a certain extent..

But when her brother, her cousin and her dad got out of line with me at my daughters baptism. That's when I let the cannons loose and her cousin ended up getting stomped outside, her brother tried checking me..but ole boy got checked back and her dad too.

I basically told them to not tell me how to live my life with my ex at the time and they didn't like my answer......

Good thing I'm no longer with her.....

Yea man, it's a bitch. Luckily I won't have that issue with her brother...him and I are the same. The cousin and aunt that were flappin' their gums are the ones most of the family doesn't really fuck with too often. The aunt's son didn't even go inside to pick up his kids from his mom's birthday party...didn't say a damn thing to either of them on his mom's birthday. His lady is a white chick, and surprisingly those 2 broads have had a problem with her for the longest. They even did their own Thanksgiving instead of being with my girl's aunt and uncle. That shit speaks volumes.
