in arab culture. love and respect for your parents is of paramount importance. there is a lot of emphasis given to the respect of parents, and these expectations are generally fulfilled.

in islamic beliefs, theres a saying that says that the door to heaven is at the feet of the mother.

in essence, it means that heaven cannot be attained except by treating your parents well. you you dont have to agree to them, but love and respect is a given. i know there are similar customs in asian cultures, especially in sth east asian and chinese cultures where many of my friends come from.
