"Sorry, Kids, I..."

Dough Wilson argues that a father must make a point of apologising to his wife and children and seeking their forgiveness as publicly as he sins against them. Whenever he has lost his temper, he must humble himself and say sorry, no matter what the pleas in mitigation. Seems to me this would have a great affect on family life and would lead the others into a posture of grace giving and recieving too. Might even try it.
