If you teach your children to "question what you say" are you leading them or leaving them to list as they will?

Here is an example. I told my oldest son I would pay him 100.00 to do the dishes.

He does the dishes and asks for his 100.00. I tell him I will pay him 50 years from now and that he never asked me when.

After awhile my children learn to get all the facts and not make assumptions.

As for letting them list as they will, we do have a democracy and allow our children to vote. Everyone gets one vote for each year they have lived.

Ahhhhh...more "registered" voters.
...and to the Republic...
Like I said...You've got a strange way of teaching things, but it is your choice.

An afterthought...After a while your kids are apt to "Just say no". You've proven yourself to be disingenuous from the outset, not offering up the conditions from the start like an honest broker would and should.
Kind of like the government. No wonder you've got a democracy at your house.
If you did that to me I'd call you a liar and a proponent of conditionalities.
I'm more world wise than your poor, naive children are.
