I will admit that after I have explained myself and answered all of the "why?"s if they still disagree with my decision it is tough luck, buttercup. I nature the independent thinking as much as possible and I encourage them to try to make their own choices, but in the end I have to have the final say. Kids can be intelligent but they tend to lack common sense and they suck at considering the future. So yea, most of the time they don't get to have the final say.
Yeah good point, the parent is responsible in caring for the child until they are 18
if they don't like that, tough shit. Hehe.I guess I should have made it more clear that whenever you decide to overule them, I'm sure you'd also take into consideration beforehand any possible effects going against their wishes might have on them long-term when you make that decision to overrule them
