Good for you, intparent - that whole "respect is a two-way street" thing seems difficult for a lot of adults to grasp. I see way too many teachers who seem to think respect should only flow from younger people to older, and I guess unfortunately there are a lot of parents out there who are the same.
Also, I think hearing the phrase "children should be seen and not heard" is just about the only thing that could ever move me to physically attack someone. There's no more repugnant set of words in history.
