    It is one of the 10 commandments. As a bonus it provides Arichas Yomim.

    HOW CAN WE IMPROVE OURSELVES IN THIS INYAN?

    Canine, only WE individually know what our relationships are like with our parents and in-laws. So only we truly know what needs improvement and what WE each need to do to improve. Unfortunately, I do not have any parents left to be mkabed. The only things left for me to do is to honor their memories and be the best person I can be to make them proud of me. I always have in mind what they would think about what I do. I was raised well and taught well and I try not to veer from that. That is how I respect my parents.

    ?? ????- not to desire what others have, is another one of the Ten. Mentioned twice. How to fight that one? One way is by not focusing on all the details of what others possess, nor focus on their private behavior or thoughts. (Public behavior have halochos..)

    From another thread, quote and reply posted by popa_bar_abba:

    If a mother tells her daughter to do something and that something is NOT against halacha, the daughter is obligated to do as her mother asks, out of Kibud Av v’Eim.

    This is highly questionable. It is not at all clear that you are supposed to do something your parent wants when it does not directly affect the parent.

    Anyone agree or disagree? And more importantly, sources?

    I was actually thinking of starting a thread for that. As I recall, there is a machlokes rishonim about it. I don’t remember who, but I’m sure someone will find it.

    There are definitely shitos that hold that one is not mechuyav to listen to the parent in anything that does not directly concern the parent. I believe the primary holder of this shitah is the Mahrik, but other poskim bring him down li’halacha.
