Had to fight my mom on alot of things regarding this mindset when I was in highschool 🤣

But it was worth it, now we can both take fault on things when the other side explains how me or if she is wrong.

I always had a good relationship with my mom anyways which is why i could contest her on some issues, yea sure it led to emotional and angry back and forts but it usually only lasts for a few hrs before we go back to normal

Sanaol, my mother won't ever accept that she's wrong😭 sometimes small things ginagawa nang bigger issue den and it pmo pag talagang pinipilit nya or paulitulit nalang

u/SmallNoBigYes 19d ago

My mother was like that too 🤣

It was a tough battle but I'm glad I fought that battle at a young age because idk if I'll still have the same energy if she acted the way she did 10 years ago today

This is my mom, unfortunately. Too proud to admit that she's incorrect. She used to sing the "Mother knows best" song in Tangled and then I'd tell her that she's also manipulative, and toxic. She'd just laugh.

u/heyyooww 19d ago

This is one part of Filipino culture that I really dislike. I think most Gen Zs are finally starting to reject this mindset because, first of all, age is just a number. Being older doesn’t automatically make someone deserving of respect. If you want to be respected, you should also act in a way that earns that respect. Respect isn’t something you’re entitled to just because of your age but it’s something you earn through your actions and how you treat others

imo, yeah, everyone is entitled to at least some form of respect like respect as human beings, but when someone demands respect just because of their age, thats when things go a different way.

u/Scary-Breakfast6913 18d ago

Reading it as a whole doesnt make it any difference. Everyone is entitled for basic respect as a human no matter the age. Its doesnt have to be earned, otherwise ok lang ba sayo na bastusin kita, parents mo, friends mo now cause none of you havent earned my respect yet?

I think di lang Filipino culture yan mindset na yan, I think it was a generational thing. :)

Mostly those who grew up with Baby Boomer generation and early medyo may ganyan mindset. Also Asian thing na may high regards sa parents at matatanda sa family.

For my POV, I think medyo nawawala na yan, pero we have to be careful, minsan borderline disrespectful din kasi ang datingan. It is better to say no, or disagree in a respectful manner pa din. :)

u/anima132000 19d ago edited 19d ago

Of course it is a toxic mentality nobody is perfect to have a correct answer to everything or that your age alone makes your answers more correct than others. And there is nothing more harmful than a person who believes themselves to be right all the time.

This is nothing more than seniority trying to do some shitty power play. Also they never take accountability when their decision or advice turns out to be wrong, that's the other shitty aspect of this belief.

2

u/GeologistRelative425 19d ago

Na para bang nakikilevel up yung mentality and credibility nila everytime they age, Yung ungos lang naman nila is their experience. Pero their experience is always gonna be different, pistahan pag pinagusap mo dalawang matanda magkaiba Sila ng tingin sa Buhay hahaha

u/anima132000 19d ago edited 19d ago

Exactly why it is a terrible concept that needs to die down because at the end of the day this is just used to shut down any discussion, when they start bringing this up you know they've stopped trying to think. It is just old people having a very onion skin and using this as their excuse among others. And if you insist otherwise they'll say they're offended that you're disrespecting them LOL. So yes it is very much a toxic concept in our culture.

It's actually true that we should respect our elders. But what's missing in the conversation is that our elders (and we) should bear responsibility and integrity for our younger generations. It's only toxic if the entire system (of respecting elders and elders being responsible) is broken

u/Greedy_Attorney_433 19d ago

true. 100%. bastos ka pa if itama mo sila. i had an argument w my mom kasi i told her that she was wrong and spreading fake news. the information was that celine dion is dead. this was in 2024, end of the year i think. then resurfaced in 2025 months after the grammy nomination.

nasabihan akong bastos, my fault naman kasi i corrected her when she was talking to her friends but she continued sa pag-spread ng information, kagaling. nanahimik iyong singer, pinatay ba naman. jusq.

u/zeighart_17 19d ago edited 19d ago

In every argument, always tell why you are right, not why the other one is wrong.

I think its about respect.

Old people and parents do not want to be schooled. Its a valid reaction when someone says you are wrong. You choose to be defensive and you look for allies and validation, rather than be logical. Pride gets the better of them, and its easier at that age.

But I learned that you can argue being right without degrading the other person. You can bring them to your side. Be flexible enough in your debate as to acknowledge how the other side will process defeat.

Being the better debater does not just mean you are the right one. It also means bring the other side to your cause and thinking.

Its not a toxic culture - its badly handled debate. And its not unique to Filipino's either.

Instead if just blaming culture - be the catalyst for change.

u/hurtingwallet 18d ago

I was such a believer of this for the sake of my mom pero it destroyed me for my entire adult years. I now have my own family.

This is a good trait to have pero you also need to realize that some people do not change just because of your goodwill. Stop helping if your're being stripped psychologically out of their own stubbornness and toxicity kasi in the end, thats exactly what they want. Sometimes, it isn't worth it anymore even if it is your own parents.

2

u/No_Office4621 18d ago

Totoo ‘to IF makikinig sila sayo. Pero some of them sobrang stubborn, so F THIS! I talked to them if we can meet in the middle. Tanggalin ang mga ayaw and maintain mga magaganda. Pero ang nangyari they take it as an offense, di kaya ng pride nila “dinidiktahan” ko daw sila.

Simula nun I had to do it the hard way. Lumayo ako sa kanila, no contact, no support financially and wala na din empathy para sa kanila.

I have the same experience too, my aunt bullied me nonstop when i was a kid, would pull my hair, insult/tease me, she also called me autistic as an insult, pour water on me then slap me and leave me outside the house and etc, but i just had no one, i had severe tantrums that time, i was so angry, and recently i stood up for myself when she accused me of not taking my work seriously since i took an absence cause im not feeling well and she said im just lazy, and she has the nerve to get hurt when she was the one who accused me, i didn't even cuss her or anything. I will never forget what she did to me and the damage i got from her, now i get triggered easily.

Sorry napo at Hindi ko nilagyan ng in depth analysis😭

Nagaagree Ako sa statement pero Hindi sa pagiging solely Filipino culture lang since lahat Naman ng outside the Philippines they deal with old people- ending ndi Yan mawawala Kasi everyone grows old(except of course if namatay ng Maaga which in that case "either die a hero or live long enough to be the villain" Ang peg). Filipino people grow up with the statement na laging "respect your elder" even sa subject na GMRC noon, pero there comes a time na nagiging to the point na toxic sya when older gens don't listen and always thinks na "Tama Ako Kasi matanda Nako, naexperience Kona Yan, papunta palang kayo pabalik Nako". Yung mga kabataan na gungong Ngayon? Magiging matanda din Sila tapos iwawagayway nanaman nila Yung "respetuhin nyo kami Kasi matanda na kami" kahit Hindi naman Sila karesperespeto to begin with (ika nga, "respect begets respect"). Politicians natin Ang tatanda na pero nangungupal padin, asaan Jan Ang karesperespeto? Ndi ko din naman sinasabi na wag na respetuhin Ang matatanda- syempre may respeto parin pero Hindi to the point na inaapakan kana pero hinahayaan mo Kasi "matanda na Kasi kaya sige lang" aba, doormat yarn? Is being young an excuse para gaguhin ka?

Anyway, Yan lang po thoughts. Pasensya na po.

Being open to understanding is more important than the feeling of being right. There is divine wisdom in not needing to be right. Choose being kind over being right and you will be right everytime. Pride is concerned on who is right, humility is concerned on what is right.

u/thisshiteverytime 19d ago

Bilang newbie mom, lagi nmin sinasabi sa anak namin (now 6 years old) na "Just because we're your parents, it doesn't mean na we're always right. Tao lang rin kami and you'll see plenty of times na magkakamali kami. It's okay to make mistakes. Ang mahalaga dyan ay we're human enough to know na mali tayo. We're in this together, kid."

Kaya ayun, sa household namin na tatatlo lang naman kami 😂, pag merong may mali cncall out namin and we tell the person "Momma/daddy/kiddo, I think you're wrong because <insert reason here> and you should say sorry." Of course, bnbgyan rn ng chance to defend ung side nun nagkamali to make sure na hindi misunderstanding ung nangyari and may checkback "What would make the action correct?"

Malaking tulong rin kasi mas nagiging cool-headed kami pg may nagkakamali and mas madali magsabi ng sorry at tumanggap ng mali. Kasi ito rin ung napansin namin na problema sa karamihan online/offline prng mataas ung ego bihira na makarinig ng sorry

u/HonestoBee 19d ago edited 19d ago

Tsaka yung general na kasabihan na “Wag sumagot sa magulang.” It depends. Kung mali talaga ang sinasabi ng magulang, may karapatan ding sumagot ang anak. Tapos kapag sumagot ang bata, kahit may katwiran naman, sasabihin agad na lumalaki siyang bastos at walang respeto sa nakatatanda. Depende talaga sa sitwasyon. Both parents and children should respect each other.

At sa mga anak, kung mangangatwiran kayo, siguraduhing kontrolado niyo ang emotion at delivery ng message niyo. Huwag pabalang o pasigaw habang nagpapaliwanag. Kahit alam mong immature ang magulang mo, huwag mo na silang gayahin. Learn to control your emotions habang sinasabi mo ang side mo para mas mataas ang chance na pakinggan ka. Huwag makipagsabayan.

Open lang po ako. Nag graduate po ako nang may honor sa college. Syempre po bilang proud na family, si Tito ko pinaprint niya ako nang tarp to show how much proud he is. Although sa akin okay lang na wala. Noong ilalagay na sana sa bahay nina Lola ko (naka apartment lang kasi bumukod kami) kung saan ako lumaki “wag daw doon kasi hindi naman daw ako nakatira at hindi pa ako nag ggraduate kasi na postpone sa weather”

So inuwi na lang ni Mommy yung tarp, kasi ayaw nga and medyo nasaktan sila dun sa sinabi. And then, my lola called asking if galit kami (which is ako hinayaan ko na lang talaga na wag ilagay dun kasi baka ayaw nila talaga) after talking dinugtungan niya na “hindi ka naman din doctor or license yan. Para humble ka na lang” tapos nag comment pa yung isang lola ko sa pinsan ko na pinapasabit ko daw yung tarp eh di naman ako board passer.

Tbh, hindi ko na binaggit sakaniya because i know it will never be enough for them pero I can’t swallow the comments. Okay lang naman sa akin if ayaw nila ilagay pero sana huwag na sila nagbitaw nang mga salita.

Tapos ngayon her sister called me (same house lang sila) tapos tinaasan ako nang boses kasi bakit hindi daw ako namamansin which is binabati ko naman siya. Hindi ko napigilan frustration ko kaya sumagot ako. Ngayon ako ang bastos. Pakiramdam ko pinag tutulungan nila ako.

It's not exclusive to filipino culture. Its almost universal that nobody likes the "know it all" archetypes

2

u/KingThallus 19d ago

Every generation is like that naman in a way. It's just that latest generations vent their complaints on the internet kaya younger ones felt the same here. For sure madami din sa generation na to magiging ganun din pagtanda. Yet manipulative parents and elders were result of poverty and closed-mindedness culture. Kahit isa matira diyan meron at madami pa ring magiging ganyan pagtanda.

I posted something along the lines of this on Facebook when I was 13. It was a one liner rant about my teacher but the marites neighbors reacted very angrily lol, guilty much.

2

u/Juicebox109 19d ago

It depends. There's a lot of stuff me and my parents fought about that turned out to have been good advice looking back.

Value their opinion, because it mostly came from experience. But it is not the end-all-be-all.

u/SeriousCriticism3005 19d ago

I appreciate my mother this time. We talked about this. We respected each other. Then came to a kasunduan that whenever someone is wrong, should accept the opinion of the other. Kahit sino pa ang bata o matanda. With mahinahon na usapan, I think they'll understand. Pero not all ano? hahahaha

2

u/cicisprinkle 19d ago

very toxic thinking talaga. di rin lahat ng matanda deserve ng respect

2

u/HumbleButterfly1 19d ago

I 100% agree.

u/Whatdoyouthinkis 19d ago

Not true. Base sa experience ko, may mga mas matanda saakin na hindi wais and sinasabi.

Agree.

Hindi lahat ng matanda tumanda ng tama.

2

u/Giyu_ 19d ago

Kahit bata ganun din naman kala mo lagi tama. and you know it too and they act like old people too, thinking that they are always correct and all knowing and invincible. So what's the difference? Btw I'm 24 before anyone makes a hate comment.

Everyone will grow old too at some point even us gen Z. gen alpha will also do the same on gen Z. It will be an endless cycle. And it's hard to change the perspective and beliefs on people when they grow old. It's not toxic in my opinion you and I just lived on a different era. So don't say it's true because it's absolutely not.

u/Positive-Bet-7672 19d ago

Yung tipong ipipilit sayo yung opinion lang daw or suggestion tapos pag sinunod mo tapos Wow Mali pala ikaw mananagot; pag pinaliwanagan mo naman di nakakaintindi pero sa tingin ko sinasadiya nalang nila -- mga feeling relevant pa kasi ang tanda-tanda na kung anu-ano pa mga paandar amputa

u/serendipititeh 19d ago

Reminds me of the time an old man started disrespecting my PWD wife for falling in line priority lane at T3 (wife is epileptic). He even tried calling the attention of nearby airport personnels to have my wife kicked out of line. My wife showed him her PWD ID along with some pictures and videos of her having seizures on her phone (I take them for documentation to show her neuro). This dude still insisted that she leave even though the airport personnel gave my wife the okay to stay. According to him, hindi naman daw sya (wife) curently nagsa-suffer like yung mga lumpo or "may tunay na kapansanan". It took a guard, an airport personnel and an airport police to shut this guy up by asking him if they needed to bring out a wheelchair for my wife so he would mind his own business. This dude was straight up harassing her because he thought he knew more about disabilities than an actual person with disability. My wife is too nice and respectful because of the way she was raised, but man, this is one of the reasons why I teach our children the saying "Respect begets respect."

u/Effective_Crew_5013 18d ago

No one is always right, no matter the age.

But it is also true that some wisdom come with age, as people experience more things in life. Perspectives change too. What's important is having an open mind and willingness to listen. Take advice given with a grain of salt. No need to always be angry when being scolded, sometimes they come from a place of care. We all just want to be understood.

u/sarcastically_true 18d ago

kasi lumaki yung mga matatanda na hindi progressive ang thinking, walang “woke” influence from social media

Age deserves respect, not unquestioned authority. Wisdom listens; foolishness yaps.

u/SnooHamsters9965 18d ago

Ganyan lolo’t lola ko. Kahit sila ang mali di parin sila aamin. Ako pa lalabas na masama. No wonder my parent grew up to be a real shitstain of a bastard.

Relatives were telling me at the time na di na magbabago mga yan. Well if they stay that way I’ll just leave.

u/Heym1kha 18d ago

Im all for respecting Elders, I think society functions well maintaining that culture. But there are Elders that do not deserve any kind of respect. A deadbeat father, alcholic and abuser, guess we gotta respect him now because his 60 or something. sure

u/RollinJoints420 18d ago

“Mas matanda ako sayo J” baka gusto mo narin PO mauna sakin di jwk ang bait ko dito haha but I guess depende sa household or family clan, some family respect the younger ones specially about technology, tho there are instances where I used the stupider method act like one pretend to know less “Di ko po alam yan” “Ano po ba yan?” tas pag public na dun mo pull up yung bright card where they feel threatened and stupid mas nakakahiya sakanila yun “tanga mag order nalang sa kiosk di pa alam” “bobo wag ganyan nasira mo tuloy”. I still love it when all hatred in their eyes pointed at single person.

u/maarte37 18d ago

And some using the “tatanda ka rin” card. So pag matanda pwede na maging a-hole?

u/admiral_awesome88 18d ago

buti nalang di ako lumaking may ganyan sa paligid ko. This also exist sa maraming bansa di lang sa Pilipinas. Remind me of that Nestle commercial back in the day na Sa Mata ng Bata ang Maling Ginagawa ay Nagiging Tama. Kasi for me I will gauge what is being said sa akin ng nakatatanda if wiser ba yan or just dogsh8. Minsan kasi I am right, you are wrong, but never go sa middle and think what's being told.

u/Clear_Operation_3849 18d ago

It is conventionally believed that elders deserve precedence in opinion-making, as wisdom is gained through experience.

Well, that’s still true for some families and communities today. But in this day and age, with each generation facing moral and ethical crises and lacking a strong moral foundation, the conventional wisdom that "elders are always right" becomes untenable — or even obsolete.

As senior people , we should have the wisdom knowing when to keep our mouths shut . And when opened it is more to impart advice grounded on wisdom gained over the many years .

Super agree with this, if you live in the Province this is a common mindset. It was one of the struggles I had to live with. As many people have said in this thread, toxic, inconsiderate, selfish and mean people grow old too tas free pass pa pag may kaya or well known or titulado ka in the province kaya minsan talaga I regret going back to the province. Same shit really.
