When Your Children Disrespect You: What to Do When Your Children Ignore You, Talk Down to You, or Take You for Granted
Do your grown children ignore you, snap at you, or take you for granted?
You’re not imagining it — the parent-child relationship really does shift.
And most parents were never taught what to do when respect quietly disappears.
When Your Children Disrespect You is the life-changing guide every parent needs when love is still present, but respect feels lost.
Written with honesty, humor, and deep emotional insight, Sam Choo reveals why adult children behave the way they do, and more importantly, how you can reclaim your dignity, confidence, and influence without fighting, begging, or sacrificing yourself.
This book is not about “getting your children under control.”
It’s about getting yourself back.
Inside, you’ll discover:
• Why your voice no longer carries weight — and how to make them listen again
• The hidden habits that accidentally teach children to disrespect you
• Six powerful actions that instantly shift the dynamic in your favor
• How to stop over-giving, over-explaining, and over-helping
• How to set boundaries without shouting, guilt, or conflict
• What to say (and not say) during tense conversations
• How to rebuild a relationship that’s been strained for years
• Why distance and silence can sometimes be the strongest form of self-respect
• How to create a life so full and meaningful that respect naturally returns
You’ll also get an Appendix full of real-life scripts, the exact sentences to use when your child is rude, dismissive, manipulative, or emotionally distant. This is the cheat sheet parents will share, bookmark, and return to again and again.
This book will help you:
• Stop feeling hurt, invisible, or unappreciated
• End the cycle of nagging, repeating, and being ignored
• Build an adult-to-adult relationship rooted in respect
• Break free from guilt, fear, and emotional dependence
• Feel stronger, calmer, and more in control of your own life
If you’ve ever thought,
“I love my children, but I don’t like how they treat me,”
this book will give you clarity, strength, and a plan.
Respect does not return through arguments.
Respect returns when you return to yourself.
This is the guide every parent of grown children needs to read — and the one you’ll wish you found years ago.
