Saying No is good parenting!

I feel very strongly about my No's and I stick with it. Kids expect limits and test the boundaries all the time. Remember if you can not control a child at a young age what is it going to be like at 14???

You don't have to be your child's friend, you have to be your child's parent and as a parent you are not going to be liked at times but that is the job description.

I so agree with you! Follow through is the most important. Kids catch on fast if all you do is hand out "empty threats".
