Quote:Not necessarily. I have a rule that my kids should not use any of my power tools, or cook, or fight. This is for their own protection. However I don't apply those rules to myself.With the first two, your rules exist only because (presumably) they are too young to use power tools or cook safely. They are rules you would not apply to adults. The last is (presumably, again) a rule you likely follow yourself (or, at least, wouldn't break in front of your kids).
