I'm not exactly sure what I mean.
I guess I'm wondering if maybe it simply takes a certain amount of time before one has a full understanding of themself, their rights, their responsibiities etc.
OBVIOUSLY there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule. But I was thinking maybe it's an age thing in general?
I don't know. Maybe. I was kind of thinking out loud.
I was thinking about the kids (mine). They tend to be very self-centered when they are 2,3 years old, some kids through 4,5. But as they gain age they tend to start being more able to consider other people's needs/feelings.
I was thinking maybe that it takes a certain amount of time before one grasps that they don't have the innate right to demand (in terms of ultimatums I thought of this) others behave in a specific way.....
