My kids learned this young. They learned that, while our house was a “democracy”, they each had one vote and, since there were 3 kids, I had 4 votes, so they could either vote along with me or be voted out of power.
Roy came along later in their lives and learned the rules of the house upfront. The kids also learned that he had as much a vote in things as I did and that we worked as a team, so they couldn’t try to play one of us against the other.

Fine … go get your mom and have her tell both you and me together that you can go.
“Oh … hmmm …”
Yeah, that’s what I thought.

“But ROY said it was ok.”
Great … Roy and you can come in here together and tell me that.
“Oh … wait …”
Yeah, that’s what I thought.

We work well as a team.
Nevertheless, he also knows this … I am always right … and even if I’m not right … I’ll argue like I am … and I’ll win no matter what … and if I’m not right, then it is someone else’s fault.
It works well.
I like it.
I hope you know this is our light-hearted joking (somewhat … LOL) sarcasm here.
Happy Mother’s Day to me!
“Honest,, Logan, Mom said we can light the rocket motor right here in the bedroom. LOL! Happy Mom’s Day Jill.
