I've seen kids bully other kids and their parents who were standing nearby and had moments before made an off comment about someone else wondering why the kid thought it was okay to tease others. At least, Rens, you know that your kids are picking up some of your habits but other parents are seemingly oblivious of what they do and how it rubs off onto their children.
If we want our kids to respect us and others then we have to be respectful not only to them but also the others around us in this world (love thy neighbor). Is suing a neighbor considered loving him?
Not really.
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?
If you can't solve it yourself, go to church to fix it.
That reminds me of a preacher. A teenage son beat up his mom and she went with him to that preacher if he could pray for her son, because the poor kid needed to be set free. He said: if you do that one other time to your mom, I'm gonna beat you up so bad you won't be able to tell anyone. He said: the kid was instantly delivered. LOL.
