You can honor your parents and still be the one who signs your own name.

Respect and obedience get used interchangeably in a lot of families, and they are not the same thing. You can be grateful, warm, close, and still be the one who decides. Your parents get input, because they love you and because they have seen more than you have. What they do not get is the pen.

When you make a call they disagree with, tell them directly instead of going around them. Say what you are doing, say you know they see it differently, then do it. Some come around and some do not, and either way the decision stays where it belongs.
