“Make the child fear you. Some people like to say respect is important, but nothing is more respectful than a well-trained child who fears you.” Ask him how well that turned out. All cold and alone, while three humans—half of him—walk the earth without a shred of regret that we will never exchange something as simple as hello again.

Parenting Advice From My Father:
“Make the child fear you. Some people like to say respect is important, but nothing is more respectful than a well-trained child who fears you.” Ask him how well that turned out. All cold and alone, while three humans—half of him—walk the earth without a shred of regret that we will never exchange something as simple as hello again.
