This was one of the initial questions posed to me when I was kicking the blog/podcast idea around. It went something like this… “should a mother kick their kid out of the house but allow their husband to stay for the same violation?”
My response to this is possibly. A grown A man is held to different standards than a child. That being the case, this is a situational thing. The problem here is not should they be compared, but why do “you” have a Husband who is having childlike issues and a child without enough sense to be respectful of your household. What was the violation? How is it affecting the household?
Ex: If a grown Man drinks too much, is it a bad thing? It can be, but if your child is doing that in your home, assuming still under your care, then that is an issue, especially if they are underage. Then again, if that child is of age, paying rent and providing assistance to everyday maintenance, well this could be a learning lesson.
