Blackmail
You know, neither of us can tolerate emotional blackmail. After a certain point we end up just not caring about your emotions anyway. So you just become pathetic.
And even then we will still hate you for it. We never forget. It’s not as though you’ve shown signs of growing out of the habit, either. Au contraire. As we age, you feel more entitled to use ‘moral’ arguments on us. For kids, no need for moral sop stories. Just hit them. Easy.
