You obviously think that reasonable demands can be made upon a child who is your legal care and property. I agree, as I have in previous posts.

My parting comments would be to correct your usage of "militate upon" from this post:

Message 15432247

Militate is always and only used with "against", and that is the only appropriate usage. This is not clear from the dictionary, and to prove it to you would squander a lot of my time. I state it as an act of kindness and benevolence, and (I hope) mutual regard. I sincerely hope you will feel free to do the same for me (no typo corrections, please!)
