Sure, respect is one thing, but that is not the same as giving someone control over one's life.

I respect my parents, they fed, clothed and housed me for 18 years. I gave back more than 18 years of my life for that.
Obedience to crazy people is unacceptable social behavior.

Do you mean can YOUR father be head of YOUR family (meaning your children)

Well , then the answer is NO!

you should be head of YOUR family , meaning your children, together with your wife as partner

when your children are adults they should no longer be under your control, your job is done, you have raised them to live their own lives

Respect your parents help them when they need help, thank them

but they should not control your life when you are grown up, no way

Parents are human beings, they are not all perfect. It's crazy to obey a person for the rest of your life just because they happen to be your parent. There has to come a time when you stop stop blindly obeying your parents

I think that the roll of a parent is guidance and as long as your guidance is well grounded then they will except that to a good enough point.
The roll of a child is to grow to question your guidance and even rebellion is natural in some cases.
I heard this said once....
"I only realized how right my parents where once my child started questioning me"

I respect my parents, but they have not had a say in what goes on on my life since I stopped living in what was our home when I was 20. If we (they or me) want to share advice or ideas we ask one another.

Moved out when I was 16 so my parents had no control over me.

I still attended high school and held down a job and supported myself.

I never said a man has to be head of my family! I was addressing the op when I said he should be the head of HIS family (children) and I said IN PARTNERSHIP with his wife, I meant if he has one. There is no reason the head of a family should be a man, it can be a woman of course. Either a man or a woman, but ideally one of each, an EQUAL partnership. Its easier for two than one, and where there is two they should of course be equal partners

Honor thy father and mother, not let them control your family.

Your family is your responsibility.

Hi ah...wave

We loosely belong to our family, but we really belong to ourselves..

We are responsible for our thoughts, actions and deeds.. we should not be reliant on anyone else.. if we are adults..

Children can be reliant on any family adult member, and although its customary to be kind to our parents, that does not include the word 'control'...

Control suggests power and I dont believe that other than having control of our own lives, is necessary...


unless, we take control if our parents are very ill, and we have a dreadful anguished decision to make...based on opinions in conjunction with medics.

cheers cheers

Not a matter of give and take in such blood relation.

It is their responsibility and our responsibility is to assit

them if they are in need of money.

It depends on how wrong the path is... however, generally a good parent will allow their children to make mistakes... its a way of learning and taking responsibility for our own actions.????conversing

Not after you become an adult!!! You have the right to make your own decisions. And what about your kids, you control them and your father still controls you? Makes no sense.
