John Rosemond asserts that children who grow up high-fiving their parents are unlikely to be appreciated in return.
“The child who is allowed to high-five an adult has tacit permission to talk to said adult as if they are peers,” Rosemond wrote. “I will not slap the upraised palm of a person who is not my peer,
and a peer is someone over age 21, emancipated, employed, and paying their own way.” “The high-five is not compatible with respect,” he argued.
