[QUOTE="rainyseason, post: 382972"] I've often had the same question. I feel like if a battle can be avoided, why not avoid it. I don't know. Maybe its caving to his will , but on the other hand, maybe it teaches him to avoid conflict when he sees someone else avoiding it. My mom always says that if you say "no" too often, your kid will become literally immune to the word, but if you occassionaly say yes, then they'll be more responsive to no later on. I'm not sure how well it works, mines a work in progress. And most of the time I'm just so fed up....but like you, I just don't know where to draw the line sometimes. Sometimes its not always black and white. Wish I could help you with this one, but quite frankly, I've got the same question...ahhhh, the joys of parenthood! I feel like quoting Forest Gump....lifes like a bunch of chocolates...never know what your gonna get! [/QUOTE]
