Mad Selective Respect

[Thursday007]

Go. Don't go. If you are old enough to type complete sentences (albiet a bit dizzy) then you are old enough to make decisions on where you go or not go. You can't get justification or approval from anyone here, nor can you expect the other people of whom you speak of will see it your way or agree with your decision not to go. Either way you have consequences and you need to decide which ones YOU can live with.

I dont think we do things becuz we family. i think we should be able to do things base upon the comfort or the respect we are given. if we are not given that respect then why should we compromised our standards. i don't think standard are to high when respect is ration out unequally across the board. so i don't want to go and what is the straw for me is when i invited him to my babies party, he say call me. what is there to call. it's something cold about this cat and i don't want to be around it...for real...lol

I don't really think I follow. You don't feel like he respects you because you invited him to your child's party and he wanted you to call him (I'm assuming to discuss the reason he couldn't go)? And you consider that disrespect?

Why does it seem like some people are so hung up on getting respect or being disrespected?
