When you have children, one of two things is always happening. Either you are training them on how to act like mature, responsible adults, or they are training you to act more and more like a child.
This revelation came to me just the other day when my two daughters and I had just finished watching "Sunny With A Chance", the show that my youngest, Natalie, had chosen. Before that, we had watched "Hannah Montana", the show that my other daughter, Hannah, had picked.
I now figured that it was my turn to pick the show. But this was apparently not agreeable to my darling children. An arguement quickly broke out and soon escalated into violence and chaos. Fists were flying, teeth were gnashing and hair was being ripped from the roots.
Finally, I'd had it, so I pronounced in a loud authoritave voice, "I've had it!" and with that, I left to go tell mom, I mean my wife, that they wouldn't let me watch my show, and that Hannah had kicked me, and that if Natalie came and told that I pulled her hair, that she had hit me first....that's when I realized," Hey! I'm the adult here!". So back to the living room I marched and said, "I am your father and you have to do what I say and I don't need to go tell Mom, I mean my wife, I mean your mother!" and with that being said, I pulled Natalies hair, bit Hannah on the arm and sent them both to their rooms to think about resolving conflict in a responsible manner. I was then able to sit down and watch "Sponge-Bob" in peace like a mature adult.
