“Rebellious spirit”?
You will be humbled in your old age. Youth triumphs, rods or none.
Do you mean that your children have defeated you? I am already approaching “old” age, my wife and I having raised seven children . . . using the rod when necessary. We have already watched the principles of Proverbs, and the Bible as a whole, work marvelously in our home. We will not be humbled in the way you suppose, because we seek no exaltation, except for our Saviour Jesus Christ. Exalting Him requires obedience to His Word, including in the area of child rearing.
So, I see you admit that you, as an adult, must submit your will to those of the “youth” - since they obviously know better.
