My brain will now probably always connect polish "mother"s with "Why do you not respect your underpants?"

Matki vs. Majtki. Confusion can be fatal.

And rightly so!

I was told it should be "swojej matki". Do other Polish speakers agree with that?

Yes. But unfortunately, "swój" was introduced a lot too late in the course and it can't be used in this skill yet.

I agree. This sounds strange.

I wrote "Why don't you respect your mother?" And got it wrong.

From what I see, this should have been accepted.

What does twojej mean exactly ? Why not twoj ?

It means "your".

"twój" is masculine Nominative.

This sentence needs a feminine form (it describes "mother") in Genitive (because of "nie szanujesz").

Why does : why are you not respecting your mother? Not work?

"szanować" is a general thing, it doesn't make sense in Present Continuous.
