Why Am I Not Talking Back?

If you can still remember the article I wrote days ago, it is about the things I heard from someone I'd never forget. There are moments in our life when we experience receiving harsh and hurtful words from someone. Also, it is customary to get scolded by our parents too. My parents are not disciplinarian and strict. They did not let us experience getting beaten by them. I am glad we grew up with so much respect towards our parents, even if they did not discipline us through bruises and scratches.

On the contrary, my father talks so much when scolding us compared to my mother. We also understood that side of him because he would calm down after a few minutes of talking. But there is one thing that I am proud of about myself and my two brothers. We never talked back to our parents. I did not hear my older brothers disrespect my parents, even if they spoke too much sometimes. If my older siblings don't talk back, who am I to do it?

Let me share why I am not and will never talk back to my parents.

I have so much respect for them.

We, children, should respect our parents. And I am living with that testament until now. I have so much respect for them that I cannot imagine myself speaking back disrespectfully to them. I remember when my father got drunk one night and told his friends how he raised us with no violence, yet we had so much respect for him. He even mentioned that we bow our heads and listen to him when he is scolding us. And he is right. That's what we do when we hear him getting mad.

Also, he added that even at this age, we never talked back to him. But if there's one thing he's so proud of, it's because even if my two brothers are taller and more significant than him, they are still afraid of him. I cannot relate when people my age start sharing their experiences of getting hit by a hanger or wood because I did not have the same experience during my childhood. And I think parents have different ways of how disciplining their children. I admit that there are moments when they say hurtful words, and I feel like it's too much, but I still keep my mouth shut and learn from them.

I'm not too fond of the idea of talking back to parents.

It is a turn-off for me when I hear someone talk back to their parents disrespectfully, significantly when they raise their voice. I remember when I did not let a man court me because I heard how he talked towards his mother. You cannot blame me. Because if he cannot respect his mother, how could he respect mine?

My partner used to talk back to her mother too, but not in a disrespectful way. Then, I asked him if he kept doing that. I could not trust and believe that he could respect my mother. One day, I received a message from his mom, telling me that he does not reason out often anymore. I wouldn't say I like talking back to my parents, but I know it depends on the situation.

Before you comment on something contradicting to my views, I know that not everyone has the same relationship with their parents. Sometimes it depends on the situation too, and not everyone can control their emotions. I know, and I understand. Just know this is a personal blog based on my experiences and perspective. I do not have any intention to offend people. Thank you!

That is right, look for a man who respect his mother, talking back to them rudely everytime they being scolded is showing their impatient side.

It's fine to reason out if it's done politely, walang masamang sumagot sa maayos na paraan lalo at tama naman pero yong makita mong disrespect sa mother e gagawin din sayo kinalaunan, wag na lang.

It depends on the parents. When I have parents such good as yours, I wouldn't dare to talk back to them, too. Our parents are different, they exactly opposite to yours. I can respect but I can never have respect for my father. I shouldn't feel that way but from what he always treats us, I can't help it.

My parents are separated and i grew up with our grandparents and talking back to them is a no no! Not just because they are elders but because we respect them and knew it all along that they are right and just want the best for us.

I do talk back pero in a respectful manner pa rin. May times kasi na mali sila at alam naman nila yon pero may times na di nilamarerealize ung mali not until may mag salita. As the eldest, para rin akong nagaalaga ng parents ko. Ayokong sa iba eh mapapahiya rin sila. I think it is a matter of how we talk back to them, I never do that na pasigaw. dapat malambing para they know that youre sincere

I explain my side after. Pero habang nagagalit sila, we don't talk back. But we do our best na i-explain yung side namin ng kalmado after. Kumbaga, pag-uusapan namin kapag hindi na sila galit. Ang kagandahan lang kasi sa parents ko, kapag nalaman nila na mali sila, hindi na nila uulitin yung ganung bagay ulit. Kaya ngayong matatanda na kami, hindi na kami napapagalitan kasi alam na namin kung saan kami lulugar. It's okay to reason out, but like what you said, sana hindi in a way na magrraise ng tono ganun.

The right thing to do is not to talk back to them yes, especially when the upbringing they give is right. That said sometimes we have to talk back to them not because you disrespect them or anything, but because what they are doing at the moment is wrong and no way they would know that if you don't speak up, just cause they are older and sometimes wiser doesn't mean they can't be corrected. So it isn't about disrespect sometimes but about setting the record straight.

I think the right term for that is "reason out." I understand where you are coming from. But my point is, kids can reason out or talk back without raising their voice and disrespecting their parents. I, too, tell my side after getting reprimanded, when my parents are calm already. But I do not raise my voice or talk to them disrespectfully when I explain my side. It's so different from how I picture out kids who also raise their tone to their parents, just to prove they're on the right side.

Indeed. I don't want regrets kasi, na mapasama ko loob ng parents ko lalo si Mama. Lahat kaming magkakapatid, we make sure na gentle kami sa Mama namin, lalo't sobrang bait hay. Anyway, iba-iba talaga yung paghandle natin ng emotions. May mga tao talaga na cannot hold back, and it's fine as long as nagiguilty ka naman after doing it. It means, you didn't mean it naman. Nadala ka lang din ng emosyon mo.

Tama. Ako naman, nagsasabi ako ng side ko kapag tapos na silang magalit. Kasi mas maiintindihan na nila yon. Kapag sasagot pa kasi habang pinapagalitan, walang mangyayari. Mas tatagal pa yung diskusyon, and worst, magkakasamaan pa ng loob. Diba?

In Filipino tradition, talking back to our parents means disrespect, it's always good to always listen to them, despite of. We are to love them because they have done so much as we grow older, and it's good that you learned and realized it already, some children don't.

I also can't talk back at them but sometimes I do when they are totally wrong cos I can't accept the fact that they are wrong and I won't say anything. I respect them a lot and I will never do that in the public but in our closest.

I really like the way your parent trained you and your brothers and most especially I like that you and your brothers don't talk back to your parent and it's a very good deeds. Most parents have their own different ways of training their children and your parents ways is also one of the best way.

Every parent have their own way of being up a child, and it's always good to bring up a child with love, and when the child grow up, he will never do anything to hurt that parents... I don't support it when it when s child brought up in a tough way.. when that kind of child should grow up, they will always think that everything should be handled in a tough way... and such a child might will even have the tendency of talking back to their parents when they grow up.

Parents like yours are very few, you and your siblings are the kind of children some parents hope to have from what I have read, my uncle (father's brother) didn't discipline his children when they were young, though so many times they misbehave over and over again, well for my father, he hanged his wire on the wall close to his bed back then we were young, maybe he might be thinking that because he disciplines us a lot of that's why we always behave, but that wasn't it

I agree that it still depends on the parents. Some are disciplinarian, and some are not. Maybe it's up to the kids on how they cope up.

Sincerely speaking I think good parenting should be that way, because subjecting your child to physical abuse, with time, he gets used to it and the respect will be gone.

I totally applaud you and your siblings for the respect accorded to your parent
