Which parent would you prefer? do you see how this relates to politics?

Question

This model posits a traditional nuclear family, with the father having primary responsibility for supporting and protecting the family as well as the authority to set overall policy, to set strict rules for the behavior of children, and to enforce the rules. The mother has the day-to-day responsibility for the care of the house, raising the children, and upholding the father's authority. Children must respect and obey their parents; by doing so they build character, that is, self-discipline and self-reliance. Love and nurturance are, of course, a vital part of family life but can never outweigh parental authority, which is itself an expression of love and nurturance—tough love. Self-discipline, self-reliance, and respect for legitimate authority are the crucial things that children must learn.

Once children are mature, they are on their own and must depend on their acquired self-discipline to survive. Their self-reliance gives them authority over their own destinies.

Love, empathy, and nurturance are primary, and children become responsible, self-disciplined and 'self-reliant through being cared for, respected, and caring for others, both in their family and in their community. Support and protection are part of nurturance, and they require strength and courage on the part of parents. The obedience of children comes out of their love and respect for their parents and their community, not out of the fear of punishment. Good communication is crucial. If their authority is to be legitimate, parents must explain why their decisions serve the cause of protection and nurturance. Questioning by children is seen as positive, since children need to learn why their parents do what they do and since children often have good ideas that should be taken seriously. Ultimately, of course, responsible parents have to make the decisions, and that must be clear.

The principal goal of nurturance is for children to be fulfilled and happy in their lives. A fulfilling life is assumed to be, in significant part, a nurturant life—one committed to family and community responsibility. What children need to learn most is empathy for others, the capacity for nurturance, and the maintenance of social ties, which cannot be done without the strength, respect, self-discipline, and self-reliance that comes through being cared for. Raising a child to be fulfilled also requires helping that child develop his or her potential for achievement and enjoyment. That requires respecting the child's own values and allowing the child to explore the range of ideas and options that the world offers.

When children are respected, nurtured, and communicated with from birth, they gradually enter into a lifetime relationship of mutual respect, communication, and caring with their parents.

section 1 is 1 parent model
section 2 and 3 are another parent model

just imagine the sound of a plane flying over your head yeeoowww

and i couldnt post it clearly either there wasnt space

there are TWO types OF PARENTS HERE

Answer 1

The US Government is much more complex than a nuclear family. And for that matter, I don't think the husband should be the "boss", and parents may have to help their young adult children from time to time. Yes I do believe we should raise our children to be self reliant, but I could never abandon them if they need me.

Likewise, not all people were brought up like you. Some people just need our help.

Answer 2

Well you are writing it so your kids can do what you want them to do. Life is not like that, preachers kids are notorious for wanting to strike out on their own. In fact, that seems to be the way of many strictly raised kids.
And I've seen it work the other way too, without structure some kids seek to make their adult life a bit rigid. As a parent, I can tell you that I would not allow their survival to be brought into question, families are more than breeding grounds for social experimentation, in fact, if you overlook that, you miss the essence of family. Destiny has a funny habit of kicking you or yours in the groin, ask the people in this country who thought they had jobs with Chrysler or IBM. No one fully has authority over their destinies, that's a daydream in a book by Ayn Rand.
Understand that this is coming from almost exactly the type of home you describe, and we've raise good kids with good jobs who paid for most of their own education so its not sour grapes, but sometimes, no matter how you plan, life throws you a curve, and you need resources to roll with it. It could be a handicapped child, or a permanently injured husband, or a blood clot and stroke at 35.
But like I said, you are writing it, its not real, and so you can tell whatever story, with whatever outcome you wish.

Answer 3

Neither, I would rather just grow up and act like the adult I am. Sad to say the government will do me little good either way regardless of what my status might be! If I am poor the government will just rob the rich ruining the economy I am suppose to live off of and lie to the people acting like they care for me in order to get at the person with money. If I am rich the government will just simply pull me down to "help". Seems to me with 60% of our dollar every year the government could get the homeless off the street at least. But no, corporate welfare and government force will never be the answer in either direction, a win-win situtation can never occur like this!

Answer 4

Governments should not act like parents, and citizens of a free county should not take the role of children. The people have the power and government officials are servants, and should be judged by how well the perform their duties.

In answer to you first question most children from traditional families prefer their mother even after they are adults.

Answer 5

Yes, the nuclear family is ideal, Discipline is very important too.

Answer 6

From above details would prefer to be the father! is not clear what you are driving at since there seems no connection with politics!
