Precious — as of today (29 Nov, Aunt Gen’s birthday) boy still accepts my tough policy on iphone8.

Boy’s cooperation and concession must be earned.

— Highest priority: hand_in_hand.. if wife agrees with my policy 100% then boy will accept much better.

— priority: consistency
LKY said he has been consistent throughout the years, so people know what he is like.

— priority: clarity
At his age, he deserves to hear clear reasons and guidelines. Without them, it’s hard to earn his cooperation and respect.

— why I don’t want to bother to earn his cooperation or give a reason
This phone argument has turned out to be more costly more harmful than we assumed. See

• too_tired_to_argue

Therefore, earning his cooperation is not to be done in my base camp !
