Giving guidance (Correction) to grown sons

[Blue44]

My sons are grown and on their own now. Sometimes they don't seem to give their Mom the respect and honor they should. I've tried to speak gently with them about it, but it doesn't seem to sink in. Should I jump down their throat or just let it go. I get rally upset when they don't treat her right.

You should get upset and they should be spoken to about it. I wouldn't necessarily jump down their throats but they should be firmly told that it is unacceptable. If they can't treat their mother with respect how will they ever treat their wives with any respect?

It might be better to offer advice if we knew what the boys are doing that you don't like. Are they taking advantage of her or speaking roughly to her? My advice would definitely depend on what they're doing wrong.
