I don't know what kind of hippie house you grew up in by our house isn't a democracy when it comes to the kids. My wife and I run an oligarchy where we are the supreme rulers.

I am only partly kidding. I don't see why my three year old should have any real say in how the house is run. However, my 11-year-old son does have some imput. In the end though, what my wife and I decide to do is the way it is going to be.

Children are just that... children. They don't get to make the rules. We do. I will explain myself but if it is something you have been asked to do, you will do it unless you can give me a good enough reason why not.

"Because I don't want to", doesn't cut it.
