I had and fortunately still have great parents.
When I was a kid, my parents taught me to respect my elders, manners, a firm handshake, honesty, ethics, morals, etiquette, how to set a table, open doors for ladies, say yes sir, no sir, a good work ethic, always do your best, etc.
I never wanted to let my parents down so I did what they taught me. It wasn't hard.
I always had a slight fear of my dad, so that helped persuade me to do the right things to.
I love my parents for being great parents, great friends, and teaching me the above. I have always enjoyed being with my parents. Whether I was a kid or an adult.
I am blessed.
