OBEDIENCE TRAINING FOR COMPLIANCE

For most of us obedience training started early. Early Baby Boomers learned from the boss, their old man, who learned it from his old man, then the Army. But that lineup leaves out the goal of obedience: Learning how to treat people correctly, beginning with your momma. Why momma?
