I don’t understand why people demand unquestioning obedience from kids 

A: Understanding why means they can extrapolate and anticipate how other shit works.

B: Teaching them authority is infallible is a great way to make sure they never solve a problem creatively or make anything better.

C: It teaches them to see you as perfect and omnipotent which is a high tower to fall off of.  Why are you so scared to say you don’t know?  I’m really looking forward to having relationships with my children as a complex and fallible human being who loves the hell out of them and would do anything for them, but still fundamentally a human being with wants and needs and drives beyond parenting.
