At the mall yesterday I was startled to attention by someone shouting "STOP PUSHING ME!" A girl, about 10 years old ran by me and pushed a boy who appeared to be 14 years old. A woman who looked like their mother muttered menacingly under her breath "Both of you, stop it!" They disappeared into the store.
We want justice! We want to know we are heard when we complain. Families are a great place to learn that. That scenario has been repeated for years in families all over the world. We are attempting to establish control, establish an order.
When all else fails, shout louder and get the neighbors involved.

I'd happily hear you complain and let you know I heard you...just as long as you aren't like my father and his new wife and wait over a year to tell me what's been bothering you. And say it with respect...don't yell or raise your voice if it's the first time I'm hearing it! Sorry...just had a bad Thanksgiving is all...got it from one parent, left the house to cool down and got it from the other parent and his wife. Not so much fun. I guess all I'm saying is I wish my family would just talk about things before they become major issues. Egads.
