[Avodah] kibud av ve-am

[Joseph Kaplan]

"The problem is the kids asking for something from the parents that makes
them into a "shaliach"

i.e. pass the salt or for an Israeli "bring us something from the States.""

 

I've always assumed, and still assume, that seichel has at least some role
to play in halacha.  As long as my kids say "please," they can ask me to
pass them anything.  In fact, they can ask me to do anything as long as they
do so politely.  I, of course, always have the option to say "no" (politely
too, of course).  Who could possibly think that this type of normal
communication and interaction between parents and children are an indication
of a lack of kavod for their parents?
