I believe that children should be the property of parents until majority. It's not that way legally in our country, but it should be. I didn't learn this from anyone else. I figured it out AS A CHILD because obviously my parents were more suited to supervise me than the adult legal system.

It has nothing to do with a man owning his wife.


this portion of the above post was someone else's words that I was responding to

And I am the one who wrote that.

You wrote the following:

When is the last time you sat down with your
4 year old, your 8 year old, your teenager
and ASKED them what THEY thought?

When they have done something that is "inappropriate", do you ask them WHY they did it?

RESPECT
Respect your children, and they will respect you.


which makes me fairly sure you have never raised young children. One can respect them sometimes, but when they are in danger, you have to stop them. If they are about to go out in the street into traffic, you forget about respect and stop them. If they are about to ruin their lives and their reputations by succumbing to insidious influences, you pray and try to stop them. In this case, the situation was probably so bad that another spirit took over, one telling him to stop them at all costs.

This is more explanation than you can understand, but there it is.

Why in the world would respecting them and stopping them from harming themselves be mutually exclusive? I am raising children and I find your response puzzling. We demand respect from our kids but we respect them back. Always. Even when they mess up and we have to punish them for it.

Respect isn't really the feeling I have for a young child. Love is, especially when the child is mine. This is not another adult, it is a human being who is becoming more independent, very gradually, but is also my own flesh.

Likewise I find your response puzzling, for that reason.

In this situation, he could have respected his daughters by telling them some abstract stuff about how they should have acted and maybe referred them to a degreed professional for further counseling.

Or he could have been a father and done his damnest to fix the problem. I doubt he even considered this a choice or considered it at all.
