Provides some nice counter weight to all those lamenting the lack of obedience in today’s kids (still I’d say they have a point as well)
I think such lamentations rarely take the form of “my children always want to know why they should do as I say! I wish they’d just blindly obey”. More like “my children blindly dismiss everything I say! I wish they’d just blindly obey” :P.
On the other side, I’d be extremely surprised if one could find evidence of a generation in which parents didn’t complain about their children’s misbehaviour.
