I don't shut them down if they have something to say. I want them to have a voice. I expect they do it in a respectful manner.

Nope. Some parents don’t know who’s boss these days, and that’s sad to let a child get away with taking lead, and demand things go their way. Kids need discipline. They don’t respect parents who do not. You’re not being mean if you discipline your kids. They need boundaries, or they’ll cross them later in life, maybe even ending up in jail or worse. They would never admit it, but they want those boundaries. It shows them that someone cares!

Let’s see if you will post about spanking fantasies next. Matter of time.

I was always able to explain myself to my parents without fear

Mine is 25 now, but when he was younger, he wasn’t too much of a problem.

I know if I ever have kids, they wouldn't dare talk back.

Now.. I'm going to say something else that you may not agree with, but I hope that's okay.

There are bad people in this world, and many of these bad people want families just like you and me. Some of them, when they have children, realize just how bad people they are. Now on account of knowing about their own flaws and realizing why their children are defending themselves, either through putting a barrier of words up or their fists, they forgive their children's trespasses.

But I also know of the other type of bad person who becomes a parent, who never realize how disgustingly awful they are, and they decide that their children won't be allowed to talk back. This child is tormented, absolutely physically and mentally tormented, and they're absolutely physically and mentally unable to defend themselves. They're backed into a corner all their lives, when they go to the place called home they fear for their lives. When they flee, cops transport them back into their "homes".

This fear turns into absolute rage, blind hate, and their soul purpose of living is to see an end to this. The time comes where they're physically capable of doing what they've been forced to contemplate millions of times by now, and the next time when these kind of parents go to sleep, they do not wake up.

My daughter only knows one word right now but you best believe she won't be talking back to me.

We don't allow it. They test their boundaries though and see if they can get the last word in...

I encourage her to stand up for herself and speak her mind - but to be tactful and respectful about it.

I do with my parents. I suppose they understand that they're not always right about everything like some arrogant dictator.
