    Less of equality and more of having respect, all things being equal respect is what holds family relationships together, if you are (as a son) constantly rude or disrespectful to your mom and dad don’t expect to be treat as an equal. (Because you’re not their equal. Who pays the bills? Who keeps up to the house?)
    If all family members have respect for each other, equality can be reached.

      And that goes both ways. If parents do not treat their children with respect, they should not expect to receive respect in return.
