Sounds like you've never had parents.
Arguing is one thing that you can't win with your parents. Are you one of those handicapped 5 year olds who scream all day? forget off.
one of the first signs of a failing family is one where a child, who actually responds and acts reasonably, has no voice.
Doesn't work like that for my family. The one to act maturely gets what they want.Being disrespectful to your parents isn't what creates a functional family, if that's what you're implying.
You either misunderstood or misread what Jaxx said.
