[quote=Anonymous]To 13:26, the "you lost, she won" poster: this is totally outside of my parenting ken. My relationship with my kid isn't a competition, it isn't zero-sum, and I hope never to be in a position where I am trying to "beat" him, either figuratively or literally. If you are at a point in your interaction with your kid where it is all about control (who has it, who can get it, who can outlast/outwit/outpower who) you both lose. Because neither of you can ever quit, can you? Since you are bigger and smarter now kid will give in, but only for now. The desire for control and mastery - of YOU! - will not go away, because you have taught your kid that relationships are about power and control.[/quote]
