Even i myself can say that i have disrespected my parents, but i have learned from my 18 years of living (and i berate myself for not growing up and realizing sooner) that our parents basically live their lives to serve us, to protect us, and care for us.
Whenever I see or hear people disrespect or act rudely to their parents i am furious inside, I can't act out because it will only make the parents feel bad. Calling a child out on being rude to their parents only make the parents look bad, because after all it is the parent that raised them, and by calling the child out, the parent will only feel worse.
It is our duty as children to take care of our parents, when they are unable to care for themselves anymore. Parents spend decades taking care of us using money they could be using for themselves on us.
There are so many things that parents do for their children, and to list them all would require an eternity.
We should not learn respect from our parents, but we should learn to respect our parents, we need to learn the respect ourselves.
