Wasteful behavior that disregards parents’ sacrifices is a source of shame and reproach. Parents invest in their children, providing for their needs and guiding them with love. To waste this support is to bring dishonor upon the family. Honoring parents means recognizing their sacrifices, appreciating their role, and showing gratitude through respect and obedience.
