the “will” is this sentence is part of a larger expression: “i will not have…”. to say someone “will not have” something means they do not allow it or do not tolerate it

Thank you
Then, are these sentences the same?
- I *will* not have my own children talking to me like that!
- I'm *not allowed to* have my own children talking to me like that!
I wonder whether this *command* "will" applies to "I".

@hhoc2000 the second sentence should be phrased “i will not allow my own children to talk to me like like that!” in which case it would mean the same. to phrase it how you did means a restriction has been placed on the speaker rather than the children
