I am the mom and I make the decisions
I need to remember that mantra. Because in the last couple of months I’ve let the kids talk me into bad decisions.
Mom, these pants fit fine!
-Gus. No, the pants did not fit. He is a 7 husky not a 8 loose. He stuffed himself into the pants and now that they’ve been worn, they cannot be returned.
I like iced mocha peppermint
-Audrey. No, she didn’t like it and I knew she wouldn’t. But I let her pick out the drink to which she told me she could drink it if she held her nose.
I want this 12-count package of lip gloss.
-Audrey. No child needs that much gooey lip gloss. I should have told her NO and made her buy something else.
I need black boots.
-Kay. No she doesn’t need any more black boots. She has two pairs already!
I guess I am walking on that fine line of letting kids make their own decisions and learning failure without blowing my money.
