I guess I'm having a bit of an issue with "do you still want her to be her own person". Some have used the words/terms "mature", "intelligent", and "independent". To my mind, I'm not sure that "independent" doesn't fly in the face of "submit". quote:
ORIGINAL Submit To yield or surrender (oneself) to the will or authority of another. As opposed to: quote:
ORIGINAL Independent 2. Free from the influence, guidance, or control of another or others; self-reliant 3. Not determined or influenced by someone or something else; not contingent So, I'm not quite so sure how "independent" I want her to be. If I tell her that I need the dishes done and she decides that the strawberry plants need to be planted, I know in which order I want those tasks accomplished. I don't think submission negates maturity or intelligence or independent thought and surely, I want her to feel free to discuss anything with me. However, I want her to always defer to my ultimate wishes. Those dishes had better be clean, when I get home. I don't care if the strawberries are planted or not. Micro-managing sucks ... ALWAYS ! "How can that be", you might ask? This guy says he doesn't want a lady to act independently. Well, as I've shown; her, doing as I want, if she is not necessarily in agreement with me, is definitely not being "independent" but, I don't need to be standing over her to make sure it gets done. If I leave the house with: "Good-bye, sweetheart. I love you. Please remember that I need dinner ready by 1730.", I don't care how she gets it done. She can cook. She can have something in the microwave (I'm sorry, Nana). She can order something to be delivered. To me, micro-managing is more like insisting that it be specifically one of those methods. I'm fed. I don't care how it happens. Hell, if she responds with: "Daddy, I don't think I'll have time to have dinner ready by 1730" she has still served me because I can either do it, myself or I can stop and get something. Again, I'm chowing down by 1730. I'm a happy little camper. Okay. I've weighed in and I've been a bit more long winded than I wanted to be (also than I promised myself I would be here, from now on). Peace and comfort, Michael
