The LDS Aaronic priesthood is given to 12 year old boys who continue in it until they are ordained ‘elders’ (usually when they serve an LDS mission). So this is written to young teenage boys.

so much for the 5th Commandment and what Jesus and Paul had to say about obeying your mother...
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you. Deuteronomy 5:16
Jesus replied, “And why do you mormons, for the sake of your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?
For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.’” Matthew 15:3-9
“Which ones?” the mormons inquired. Jesus replied, “’Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, Honor your father and mother” Matthew 19:18, 19
And Jesus said to the mormons: “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God), then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” Mark 7:9-13
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’” Mark 10:18, 19
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’” Luke 18:19,20
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4
I have known a few mormon boys who have held their ‘priesthood’ over their mothers. And a few mothers that have cowtowed to their sons because they held the ‘priesthood’. But I doubt it is universal.
