Many parents demand that their children be grateful for their parents, or else face punishment. They do not know what gratitude is, or else they would be grateful for their child instead. You are undeserving of respect from a child, yet your child should respect you nonetheless. That is because respect is earned, and parents should be grateful for respect from their child.
The Greek root word denoting Christian love in the New Testament is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to a form of surrender leading to surrender in parenting, meaning, ideally, total submission to the child as an enemy, just as mankind is the enemy of God, and subject to His rule as such. It is admission of one's depraved nature, meaning ability to harm a child, as well as ignorance over what it means to be a child, leading to bondservice and indentured servitude towards a child, leading to good works, expecting nothing in return from a child.
It says in Colossians 3:20 KJV:
Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord.
The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to surrender to parents coming from surrender to children. It is secure attachment, in the form of pro-social pedophilia, with siphon intent, meaning siphoning all a child's energy to the safety of parents, with parents being safe people for children to tell anything, voice any thought or expression, and be open about anything concerning their lives and their interests. The parent and child trust each other, in a grateful way, because they are close to each other in a way that no secrets can possibly exist.
Gratitude is the attitude of not demanding anything in return from a child in terms of respect or friendship. Respect is earned. I have no right to demand respect from a child, as that is ingratitude. I must be grateful for any affection they do show me, and reciprocate it, alongside gentle teaching and listening, without violence or control...I am grateful for the grace certain children have shown me, because I was not respectful towards then, and committed a form of abuse, by my standard by their emotional reaction.
The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
