| Mar 11, 2014 at 0:58 | comment | added | Sylas Seabrook | @StephanieDaigle Your error is in assuming that getting your way is going to teach your daughter anything helpful to her. There is an old saying, "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." You may win the battle, but the war will last far longer and you will lose. A relationship cannot be ruled and be strong. Do you want her to follow you from fear or love? What will you have achieved in the end other than to have gotten your way? What is your goal as a parent? To have children who obey? What then will they become as adults? | |

We gave her plenty of advance notice regarding what the punishment will be; we were willing to talk this out with her, but we won't compromise until she alters her behavior and stops lying and talking back to us. She chose to wear long skirts when she accepted the punishment for her behavior. | |

Rollback to Revision 2 - Was informed as to why this was better for me to restore. :)

| Mar 10, 2014 at 15:07 | comment | added | Sylas Seabrook | @Jaydles Thanks for the feedback. The "yes" section is based on my experience in high school with children who would ask me (the then-virgin) about sex and everything else and my suggestion to consult with their parents was mocked. I had one guy ask me about getting a girl pregnant where he'd only engaged in oral sex, hence the "most stupid" part. While "slave" has many connotations, a dictionary lookup reveals it is apropos in this usage and I'd suggest not only because of the definition, but b/c that is how the kid feels. Much of what I wrote was allusive to how she feels. | |
| Mar 10, 2014 at 15:03 | comment | added | Jaydles | @jeremy, I like a lot of this post. Couple of suggestions? (I didn't edit myself because I don't want to misrepresent you.) 1) The "yes" section could be toned down slightly; as written, the use of "everything" and "most stupid" may be more than is needed? 2) Comparing parents' concern about appropriate attire with the resistance to women's suffrage and minority rights seems a bit much, as does the use of "slave" where I think you mean something like, "unquestioning follower". Again, I like a lot of this, but some tweaks would make me a lot more comfortable up voting. | |
