If they came to play at my house, and my mother said we couldn't do something, they invariably said, "well, keep asking her until she says yes!" to which I would try to explain the following policy:<br /><br />"No means no, ask me again and the next thing you ask for the answer will be no, too".<br /><br />That didn't mean another no to what I was asking for- it meant a no to whatever I asked for that night or the next day. <br /><br />Apparently this concept was difficult to grasp.. But I use it with my daughter and the kids I babysit, so maybe the indoctrination must start at an early age to work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248544427848435031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637135014554458663.post-84495757763934972962008-11-01T13:26:00.000-07:002008-11-01T13:26:00.000-07:00You forgot, "And get OUT of the kitchen.
