Things that Deltas can't stand and feel annoyed by

[niveK]

I dont mean that. There are things in which the child will not understand if done by an immature parent. For example, if a child behaves poorly and warrants the punishment yet one parent states that the punishment will happen later (the common example is, "when daddy gets home.") then the child will not understand the punishment at all. The punishment was futile and it leaves the child confused. That is what I meant by general rules. Timing is part of it. Timing-Consistancy...I forgot the third part....oh, explanation/conversation.

I got that.

I'm not sure what you thought I misunderstood.
