This week in Jenny’s Momtourage Column, Jenny from the Blog asks: Why do I find it so hard to say “no” to my children when they clearly have no problem saying it to me? She also gives 5 tips to help any parent stand their ground. Good Luck! READ MORE
I have sooooo much trouble saying no, but it’s really one of my kid’s favorite words! So so true
I have a friend who NEVER says no to her children more than once, of at all. If they want something they get it. If they are stealing and dripping red stuff (that their mom gave them because my own kids are not allowed) on my computer and I say no they cry to mommy and tell her to say no to me – which she does. I watch them while she works and they are angels most of the time but the instant she walks in it’s like they have been possessed by a monster!!! I have tried telling her she is doing her 4 and 5 y/o no favors by letting them keep their bottles or allowing them to unwrap every present under the tree then just going and buying them more but she seems unwilling to control her children. As a friend and concerned mother (hey, my kids see that and this is MY house!) what the heck can I do to make her open her eyes and see this is NOT okay?
