Washing Up
When the caregiver's authority is overridden by the parents, it doesn't take long for children to figure what they can get away with. Humans are pack animals, and they test constantly to determine where they are in the hierarchy of the pack.

The lesser members can either stay and remain subordinate, or fight back to regain status in the pack. Often, hierarchy fights end with someone being driven from the pack at the end of the fight.
