People are too clingy with tradition ( i assume if this was a parent it was closely related to "tradition" or being "respectful" and from their related to it defying their religion) , yes it should be respected but why should we all conform to what you want and remove everything that may offend us when you are not willing to budge at all yourself.
A controversial example is when certain Muslim or other religious groups ( i say Muslim because it happened recently with a group near me) demand nativity scenes torn down along with all they deem disrespectful or disgusting or however they wish to describe it, but then when another group wishes for their beliefs to be respected and ask this group to remove something of theirs that they do not believe should be on display, they are refused by the group.
Why is it the narrow minded people that seem to always be the ones in control and always end up getting their way?
Probably because they are so unwillingly to move that we have no other choice but to conform to their wishes to end the feud.
