Most of the time, I find that the problem was with my delivery. Actually, all of the time. Or with perfectly understandable life obstacles which aren't anyone's fault. Sometimes there's a "come to jesus" moment which amounts to "what were you thinking?"
If I want to beat him up or be mean to him, I just do it.
Exactly. It's probably annoying to the girls to be asked to repeat and reiterate complex instruction, or to be given instruction in purposefully simplified terms, but I've realised far too often that I was obtuse in some way, and this was where the failure began. Those times are met with great lenience from me.
The flip side of this is that when it is clear that due diligence was not offered, and the failure was the result of dereliction, I am less than lenient.
