Re: ABCs OF BEING A FATHER

I'm shocked The Dude. I think this is your first post that isn't just regurgitating other people's efforts with a link. It's a cut and paste job, but that's a step in the right direction. Maybe one day you'll have a thought of your own.

I'm seeing a lot of bible beater repetition here.

Bad advice. Expect your children to obey and they'll rebel. Earn their trust and they'll listen to you.

Re: ABCs OF BEING A FATHER

What happended to
1. Test that you are not reproductively challanged
2. If 1 is false, say bye bye to your fatherhood dream
3. Get a Girlfriend
4. Test that she is not reproductively challanged
5. Repeat 3 and 4 until 4 is true
6. Get Married (I am a conservative)
7. Do it without protection until the wife gets pregnant
and those stuff?

Must be difficult to fit it into the alphabet I guess.

Re: ABCs OF BEING A FATHER

I think that those who take issue with this one confuse the point being made.

Consider school. No obedience in any of the kids makes for a crappy education. And I don't think that it's just handed out on the first day of Kindergarten and then they're good to go.

Or other matters such as "Don't steal" or "Don't smoke". "Expect" obedience, as in "this is the preferred outcome or choice".

I think the intent of this one relates to teaching trust and respect.
