African Parents, And Regards/respect For Elders... by Geenickel(m): 8:59am On Dec 22, 2014 |
well,i think this situation is strongly defined/evident with the African parents....... Why do African parents see any young(younger individual) boy/girl, who passes by them without a "good morning sir/ma,or"good afternoon",judging frm d tym of d day,as an entirely irresponsible child,or untrained individual This surprises me alot,whenever a frnd of mine comes visiting, i always remind him or her to gv ma dad or mum a greeting,or whenever we strol down d streets,and mum shows up, i will be like."guy,mumsi de drink ur "goodmornn greetn oo,mk sure u greet her"(fr ma mind tho),wen they fail to do so,i knw i have series of questions frm mum to gv answers wen i return.... what's your view on this,friends... |

It is SIMPLE COURTESY! If your friend sees your little sister, he should say hello to her as well! Since it's your mother he saw, then he should greet her appropriately. Any friend that just rudely walks past my mother should expect to hear my opinion on his/her manners and it won't be pretty. |

If you are rude to my mother you can't be my friend |

Geenickel: But you are funny sha. These are people you know, not some random stranger you pass on the street. Of course if the latter were the case, no one would expect you to greet every single one of them. Even crazy people won't do that. But to go visiting a friend and you see his/her parents in their home and you need to be reminded to greet them?? Come on. Don't you feel odd if you don't? And yes, it's all about manners and upbringing. |

Tallesty1: Is this belief peculiar to African parents alone?? |

Tallesty1: His point? He doesn't have respect for elders, he can't greet and he is trying to find an excuse for his unruly behavior. |

Poster you should have first greeted us before you started writing other things here! Greeting is a form of showing respect and acknowledging the other person. You should insist on your friends showing the utmost respect for your parents. If they do not respect their parents then they also do not respect you. Anyone who does not greet someone does not have enough regard for that person. Imagine a lecturer or popular musician star where to appear- your friend would struggle to greet him/her. In the same vein- you do not respect your parents otherwise you would not be asking such a question. In the good old days we would run to greet our friends parents bending or kneeling and would be so glad to receive a response and a smile for them. This world is coming to an end. |
