How to Be Respectful of Your Family

We all know that families are there to love you and respect you, but indeed it is difficult at times to love them back and respect them just as they have done to you!

Steps

1. Help your parents with whatever they need. Do chores around the house when asked, and if it's a special day for a family member that day (E.g.: birthday), do their part so that they know you care and respect them. If it bothers you that you are doing all of the work, try and talk it out or maybe write a list.
2. Listen to your parents and follow their rules. The rules may sound strict and unfair, but your parents have probably made those rules to help you or for a good reason. If you feel like they are unfair, don't shout at your parents as this will end badly. Ask them for an appointment to talk about the rules to help you understand them and the reason for them. If you adopt the "help me understand your point of view" stance, they will be much more likely to give you increased freedom in time and to take your ideas into consideration.
3. Try not to argue with your family. Work your conflicts out with your siblings and count to ten with your parents if you know you are about to have a temper tantrum. This is the key to having respect and love flowing around the house.
4. Be polite. Respect also means manners. Being at home doesn't mean you can omit the 'please' and 'thank you'. If your younger siblings don't seem to remember this, try and remind them gently, so they too will see how important being polite is. Remember your manners at all times, especially if your parents have guests round.
5. Don't talk back. Respecting people doesn't just mean being nice to them. Talking back, rolling your eyes, smacking your lips, showing by your body language that you aren't listening-- all these responses are bad for all relationships, not just family. It also makes people think you are rude and don't care about your family, which is not the impression you want to make.
6. If you get punished, accept it and don't make a fuss. You have done something wrong, so you have to take the consequences. Be mature and just get on with it, for example if you are grounded, don't break the rules of your grounding and it will be over and done with sooner than you think. Learn something from your punishments and don't do whatever you did again. If you truly disagree that the punishment was deserved, calmly talk it out with your family.
7. If you have friends come over, make sure they behave politely. Behaving politely is a good part of being respectful, and respecting your parents means making sure your friends do, too.
8. Last but not the least, think of all the things you love about this unique family of yours. Everyone has their own unique traits, respect that! Remind yourselves that manners, love and respect is the key to every healthy relationship.

Tips

• When something bothers you, talk it out. It helps to vent and work out your problems, not keep it in and not know when your anger will explode. You can also write it down in a diary or a blog when you can't talk it out with somebody.
• Write down a little list of values and good points of your family members.It could be small so that you can put it in your wallet and take with you wherever you go. When you feel like talking back, take it out and just read it a couple of times.

Why "MEN" never argue with women!

Never argue with a Woman one morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am.. What are you doing?" "Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?") "You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her. "I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up." "If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman. "But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden. "That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment." "Have a nice day ma'am," and he left. MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think .

New Corvette

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.

'Amazing', he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the state trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, 'What am I doing? I'm too old for this,' and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, 'Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go.'

The old gentleman paused. Then said, 'Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.'

'Have a good day, Sir,' replied the trooper.

Old Cowboy

Ya think you have lived to be 60 and know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to the dickens...

An old cowboy sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him..

She turned to the cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'

He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy.'

She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women.. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women.

When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'

The two sat sipping in silence.

A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'

He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian.'

Senior's Biker Bar.......

I love this doctor!!!

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise.
Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer;
that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster.
Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn.
And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient
mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken.
Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).
And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine,
that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more
of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one.
If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.
In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger.
You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans ! Another vegetable!!!
It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention
of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways -
Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other -
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and
screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans...

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

HOUSEWIFE OF THE YEAR NOMINEE! OMGGG!!!!

SO GROSS - HOW COULD ANYONE LIVE LIKE THIS??

Remember when you last said to a visitor “sorry about the mess, I haven't done my cleaning yet today!”

- well, you'll never say it again after seeing this!!!

OMG – this is absolutely gross….where did she sit or sleep for that matter???

By the looks of the stained couch cushions, my guess is that she didn't move

Very far from here...

This is an actual apartment....found in Houston after the

Evacuation for the hurricane.

This is NOT hurricane damage....

The apartment was found this way prior to the hurricane..
Hard to believe there wasn't a fire with all the cigarettes.

Did this woman ever hear of an ashtray?

Nope..... Empty soda cups will do thanks!!!

Oh My Goodness!!

All the Febreeze and Clorox in the world...
Is not going to help this mess!

NOOOOOOOOO not the Computer!!!!

Notice the small 'butt free' area around the bottom of the mouse where her hand rubbed the mouse pad and what keys on the keyboard that where used...

OK......... Here come the Gross Parts !!!!!!

I am sure She had intentions of cleaning.......
But, probably put it off till tomorrow~



I don't want to even think what that pile on the sink is...

So, after looking at this...... It is safe to say that

Your house is not so bad afterall.....
