Hello New Parents:
I am going to give you the best advice about parenting you will ever get. Learn this word. NO. Now say it with me. NO.
Now Lets use it in some real life examples.
Mom, all the kids in my class have a blank can I have one? No. .....a. they are too expensive and you don't have a job. b this thing is not necessary and is only a status symbol and if you need it to fit in then you have the wrong idea about what is important and what is not.
Mom, can i get a tatoo piercing, color my hair weird (and any other express myself kind of stuff) NO, while generally you should not judge a person by their looks anyone who goes out of their way to draw negative attention to themselves is not making a personal style statement they are making a negative social statement. find some other way to express yourself.
All my friends get to stay out till midnight! NO! NOTHING good happens after midnight.!
Some responses you may hear from your child are I hate you. you don't understand me la la la.
Suck it up parents. You have to make the decisions because your child is too young to make them. If you allow your children to make bad decisions It doesn't make them bad kids it makes you a bad parent. will they hate you? Yes, for a while. Will they end up upstanding members of society, yes. Will they thank you? Maybe not, but one day you might have the satisfaction of watching them raise their kids with that same wonderful word.
