Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
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.

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.

>>X - Expect them to obey
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.

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook
Narue was trying to explain her hate of christians.. lol jp
