I think it all has to do with how the children are raised and the amount of respect that is earned by both the parent and the child during that process.

What I mean is... as my children get older they may not like my "Dominate" perspective as far as house rules, etc. But in that same process, if I have raised them right, they will respect the fact that I am the parent and therefore have the right to set the rules. In that same process though, they have hopefully built a level of respect and trust with me so that, like any good Dom, I do not have the need/desire to micromanage them. They will do what they know they should out of the want to please and have enough respect to speak to me directly when they disagree understanding that it still may not go their way. With, in return, my respecting and trusting in them to do as they should and to remain open to them when discussion is necessary.

*goes off hoping that the above will be a future reality and not just a glass bubble concept on my part.... *
