I want to see a show of hands

How many parents out there are able to get their children to do everything they want them to do every single time you ask?

How many parents out there use reverse bribery (rewarding yourself as opposed to your child) to get them to do what you want?

How many parents out there have perfect children who have perfect manners even when you are not present?

How many parents out there have witnessed first hand that as your children get older and become more independent, your kids have a tendency not to always do exactly as you asked?
