I was the original Rebel without a cause. I defied everything my parents wanted me to be like. I was called a defiant brat by my mother, but they spoiled me. They gave me too much power as a child and they made me a brat.
Non.....my parents did as I told them and they behaved perfectly nearly all the time....it was rarely I have to Pun'ish them if my food was late or to my taste... :)
Yes, but not every child rebels in equal measure to other children, Neelie. Rolling one's eyes at a parent when he or she is speaking or stealing a parent's car and intentionally ramming it into a highway guardrail are vastly extreme examples.
Yes, I was rebellious in certain ways when I was growing up, and I faced rebellion from by children when they were growing up. The stolen car incident happened to a man I knew; his 16-year-old son took their family car with the intent to travel three states away. ~
