Love is there

Dad: get up.  It's time for school
Child: Don't bother me.  I am not ready.

Dad: (after hearing the tone: got angry) IF you don't get up, forget it, don't go to school (slamming the door)

Back ground: (We can hear a little noise on the back ground.  Some one went into the rest room.  It's the child. )

Child: (appear in the liveing room)
       says to Dad: I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me.  Thank you

Dad:   (although still humming)
       says to child: I love you. I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.

It's true that both child and parents need to change.
Yet, it's essential for the person who has authorization know when to back down.
In the long run (or even short run), we want win win situation.
I believe LOVE is essential for a family.

(Just my humble two cents.) :)
