Islam play a powerful roles in relationship between a child & their parents. and is one of powerful deep bond, a mutual rights and love, and a great commitment from a child to their parents.
You owe them Great kindness and respect, gentle in speech, always avoid annoying them, serve them as much as you can.

“And we have enjoined upon man (care) for his parents, His mother carried him, [ increasing her] in weakness upon weakness” .[ Surah Luqman ayah 14] .
Surprisingly, Painfully, and shameless that many children today are disrespectful to their parents, abandoned them, misbehaving to them, It totally contradict Islamic teachings. Influence of some parts culture that promotes “child independence” making it more worst. another parts is lack of Islamic upbringing.
The Prophet Muhammad May Allah blessings and peace be upon him said:
“Shall I not tell you of the greatest of major sins” ?
He repeated three times, then he said; “to join in worship with Allah (The Almighty) and to be disrespectful to one’s parents [ Sahih Al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim]
This following right is a must for you to fulfill it for your parents.
1) you shouldn’t raise your voice to them, speak politely and gently to them.
2) you owe them enough humility and respect.
3) Care for them especiallyb in their old age.
4) If they have passed away, continue praying for them.
Now you know you have offended your parents, disrespect, hurt them in any way. Regrets what you did and not to return to that behaviour again. If they are still alive beg them to forgive your bad behaviour towards them, if they are already passed away continue praying for them every day.
May Almighty forgive all our sins knowingly or unknowingly may He count us among the righteous people.
May Allah blessings and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad His relatives, Companions, and who ever follow his step till resurrection day Ameen
