I have met parents who teach children to be bad, type dont let anyone win, beat you, at an arguement in such a way taht their children will lie to win the arguement. Tthere are parents who teach their child to always walk over others as they dont want them to be a walk over.
There is the middle way, something between being a walk over for everyone and someone who is totally ¡naproachable because they are so determined never to lose an arguement that all conversation is out. I suppose conversation has to do with turning over ideas, sometimes agreeing and sometimes not and a great variety of ideas maybe gone through in a conversation.
Never lose an arguement is, for those who are taught to be tough, really never, they will lie or menace you to make you agree with them and this total intrans¡gence is taught by parents who dont want their children to be anyones fool. It is hard for some to think of parents teaching children to be bad if you want to understand that they do take an extreme example, do you think the mafia teach their sons to be goo?
Some parents like it if their children are less successful than them, they are even competetive with their own children but i should think there are mafia bosses who want their sons to take over from them one day to know how to run the business. Tthe mafia boss type persons i have met are more inclined to se their children as marvelouse because they came from themselves than most parents some parents are carefull not to just imagine their children are alright becausse they are theirs have their blood to try to have clear vision about their own children, so there is a lot of variety in this theme too.
It is this sliding scale between position that are reasonable enough, dont be a walk over and positions that induce dishonesty and reduce the possiblitity of talking about anything like, don't let anyone tell you anything ever, that make talking about this difficult. always giving way always giving way to others is not good either, we a have to walk in the grey area neither to much nor too little is the right place to be.
Dont let others ask anything off you or they might think they can push you around is another bit of this determination never to be used by others, that is never ever. This makes a person who can never ever be appealed to. They might do somthing for you but not because you asked them too, so there is never any question of them being open to discussion, you have to take pot luck with them, if they decide to do something for you well and good but you can't plan anything for yourself.
This has to do with leadership, if you are determined your children will be the overlords not the underdogs this is one way of teaching them to rule and that without parliment and what you need or should have to rule or lead is an important part of group dinamics. agri rose macaskie
