No means no

by somernight

(September 2008) (rank 154th)

Sometimes as parent/s we are tired/stressed and just not in the mood to argue or fight.

Well advice to all when your child askes you (can I ) do or go or have something and you say no

No Means No it

doesn't mean ask me in 5 minutes, it also doesn't mean ask me 10 times it means NO

They know if they ask us over and over when we are tired/stressed and just not in the mood to argue

it will turn to yes well No it shouldn't . If we continue to give in they will continue to do this

Get a back bone and stick to your word if you give in you are lying to your kids.

They will also drive you for the next 10 years doing this because they can.

So please stick to it No means No

also we try to tell are kids this when it comes to people and if we give in are we teaching them to give in

heck no

Re: No means no

Totally agree with you !!!!

Sometimes I am saying NO to the same thing all day long, but they have to learn that when we say NO we absolutely mean it

Hi there,

You are so very right . . NO means NO . . In my house if we say NO and our children keep asking then we take time out measures . . I don't remember the last time one of your kids tried this . . Great advice . .

Cheers Kellz

Re: No means no

Great advice and kids will try and pull the wool over your eyes at times as well.. My 3 know when mum says No more then once, there will be conswquences and they know not to step over that boundary...

Lose of a privilige doesnt go down kindly in my household...
