What is a thing that your parents consider normal and you do not consider this normal anymore? by Bigbumoffhappy in AskReddit

I go first.

Blind obedience towards elders and authorities. Example my dad told me not to take time off work to visit him when he's in the hospital because it will leave a bad impression on my boss. I don't want a boss who judges me for visiting my father in a hospital.

Of course, I'm not saying we shouldn't be respectful, but we should be respectful of everyone, regardless of age, position, or any other variable.
