    Hello Tina,
    Here is a rough translation of your post:

    I want to say to Mr. Ed that I am very grateful for he and his wife allowing me to stay in their house without knowing me, well it's impossible to accomodate somebody [without knowing them] so thanks for giving me a place in their house I am the father of a family and I don't like lack of respect*.

    *I'm not exactly sure about the last line. If somebody could make a suggestion!

    Hope this is helpful!

    Un saludo

    From what i can tell, you translation is correct lylek. The Spanish is a bit funny, but seems to be as you have interpreted it.

    Default Treated disrespectfully

    Hi there! Wouldn't it sound better: "...and I don't like to be treated disrespectfully."? Cheers

    I'd say:
    "...I am a family man and I don't like being disrespected."

    Though this sentence sounds weird, even in English. Somehow it doesn't fit the tone of the message... but oh well; translation is what translation gets!
