I see a lot of young people here. I wish you good luck when you have your children. I never believe in physical punishment or not given opportunity to my children. But I believe in rules, most young generations feel offended because of that. Put yourselves in any parents shoes.

From @silwanempi:

You know. I grew up knowing that adults are always right. It's not even subjective or whatever. I believe this set a strong reverence for humans. When we start treating each other as equals is where the problem starts, because it opens discussions. Then you get disobedience

I do this with my students all the time. I learnt it from my dad. He always apologised to us and gave reasons for 'nos'. I also let them know I don't know everything. So, when they ask some questions, I tell them I'll get back to them as I'll need more research to answer well.

From @CaliFrmTheVally:

My family literally look at me in disgust when I do this with my son . & my response is always “ this why none of y’all kids like y’all & all moved away or barely talk to y’all now. “ wrong is wrong . I ain’t running my child away . Been there & done that.
