How do they tell when the kid did something really wrong and they are really mad at the kid and want to say "not to do that" any more.

Will they still use the "respect" or it will change then?

I am just trying to learn. So please do not misunderstand me here!

When they yell to their kids, they mostly use singular & harsh words at time too ... But if they were to yell infront of ppl other than their family , then they mostly would still use plural form("respect") ! ....
And usually at home they use both plural form and sngular to address their kids , actually mostly plural ! ......
When acquainting with new ppl, they would use plural form till they become close with each other(that would be after a handful of talks) ! (be it 2 guys of same age or a guy 10 years elder than the other)

When I first came to aus & met guys from India, I felt so odd , coz the 2nd minute after we met, they would use singular form !! I was like what !!!!!

.... but then I didn't mind it ..... got used to it ....
