Sue,

re-read what i wrote and please refrain my labelling my house a ‘un-normal’.

Why is you think a no-authority policy shows children something radically different. The way i see it in our western egalitarian, non-authority culture, children no longer have respect. Our children run wildly around since they are taught that there is no such thing as authority- this is a direct result of our culture and you want me to push my children head-long into it. It’s all about ‘my rights’ and it is an epidemic at least in Australia.

I will teach my children that i love and cherish my wife and would die if necessary for her. I will teach them that i will not abuse her or dominate and lord over her. She teaches them that i am the head of our house and that they are to respect and obey that. This is radically different to our culture and why the Bible gives such a beautiful picture of our relationship with Christ. Let me say that the normal picture should reflect Christ and the Bible- an egalitarian model does not do that.
