Well, your supervisee's role function is your own PoLR. I think because of that, it sometimes causes a reversal of the supervision thing. Or if you're much older and/or more experienced with life than your supervisor. I feel really on more equal ground with LIEs that are 18-25-ish but LIEs my own age, might as well just bend over as soon as they enter the room. Especially if they are my own gender. Not cuz of gay, but because men are more dominant stereotypically lol.

And yeah being a parent does change things up a bit but it depends on how naturally dominant the parent is anyway. I supervise an extroverted type, but an extroverted type supervises me- and since introverts are naturally more of 'bottoms' anyway lol - that all has a part to play.

Still with all that said I do hurt my mom's feelings way more than she hurts mine. =(
