		Netcob on July 5, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Students flee field as computer 'fad fades' (1987) Kudos for sticking to it, I'm not sure I could have done that in your place! I'm always horrified at stories of parents who act this way. "Do it because I say so, I'm infallible as far as you are concerned, if you disobey me I'll hurt you."

> "if you disobey me I'll hurt you."

I think the message is slightly different, and worse. I think the message is

"If you disobey me, you have hurt me, and I will need to retaliate"

This just sent a chill up my spine. This was EXACTLY the story of my childhood, except it wasn't just "disobey."

It was also "question."
