I'd hate to see how you deal with issues with an equal like a spouse.
Yell louder, Smash more valuable stuff, make them clean up the bigger, more expensive mess faster?
Take their car away or smash it into a wall?
You are RAISING a child into an equal, not forcing them into submission for life. I know a few people that grew up in such an manor, and they are afraid to ever speak there mind, challenge authority, or make hard decisions that have consequences, without someone guiding them all the time.
