Is it easier to impose discipline on yourself or on other people?
Generally on myself.
If, however, the other people are young children, in whose development
I have a vested interest, then on others.

This is a question?
I can bully my husband from sunup to sunset - well, not bully, advise
- about things we both need to do, but don't seem to be able to take my
own advice. Now, about the word
"impose." If that means to effect discipline - actually make
it work - then I probably fail in both cases. Next question, please.

I'd have to say
it's easier for me to impose discipline on others.

I would have said
'self' but I'm getting used to working with kids.

Myself, although
I'm not too good at that, either.

Other people. I'm
a major procrastinator so there's no discipline here!

Myself.

Since I can't enforce
discipline in other people, I have to do it myself for myself.

I guess since I
am always surrounded around small children it would to impose discipline
on them. Hard to impose it on yourself, at least for me.

Great question.
I think it's more difficult for me to discipline others. It's hard to
really know how much determination a person has and how willingly they
will accept such an imposition. As to myself, I know how much will-power
I have... so that's more of a safe bet.

Myself, because
I'm actually in control of myself. To an extent.

Self-discipline
is not my forte (or "my bag" as Frodo would put it) but I have
no trouble telling my husband what to do.

of course, you can't really make someone do something they don't want
to do...unless it's a child.

It
is easier to impose discipline on myself. My kids are like the cat. Talk
all you want and they do whatever they want anyway.
