I hope that's not directed at me. I have no respect for authority because it was slammed down my throat.
Charlatan: I hate hippies and I grew up in a militaristic style house. My dad was in the military for 20+ years. It was "his way or the highway." I bucked against it constantly because I didn't feel it was the right way to do things. Sure a child shouldn't have the say so in matters, that's not what I'm saying. I'm merely saying that if explanations were thrown out there it would encourage a healthy relationship and an open discussion forum between parent and child. If you explain to a child why they shouldn't do things and then they do them, then obviously it's time for punishment. I would like to think that if I hadn't been forced to do things "Because I said so!!", that me and my family would get along better. I'd also like to think that I wouldn't have done have the shit I did. I only did them out of spite to prove I didn't like the militaristic "BISS" style of parenting I was thrown into.
