[quote=Anonymous]That would irritate me as well, OP. I was raised with the "never question adults/authority" rules by my parents and do NOT abide by those with my kids. Not questioning an adult and ignoring my gut feeling about a person is how I got molested as a kid. I teach them to be respectful, but to not just agree with what an adult says because they're an adult or an authority figure. I've also taught them that they do NOT have to be kind to everyone if the other person is not being kind to them or is making them uncomfortable. When my son was around 5 there was a little girl in his class who would always hug him multiple times per day and give him kisses. He didn't like this and told her so. My wife and I were brought in for a meeting with the teacher and the little girl's parents because she cried and told the teacher that he'd hurt her feelings. The girl's mom didn't understand why I wouldn't make him apologize to her. [/quote]
