As a father I go out of my way to raise my children with the knowledge that all authority is illegitimate, even mine.
It creates some challenges lol 😂
But I’d rather have it this way than the...
I've raised mine with the same knowledge that there's a line I can't cross. Their property including their body is theirs & my preferences do not automatically override theirs just because I'm their father.
Mine are adults now & I think we've walked that line fairly well. They've felt the pain of making less than wise decisions first hand. They have little resistance from us & feel no great need for rebellion against our limited rules.
Being a parent & a freedom maximalist is interesting at times.
