Being a parent of a 2 1/2 year old I can relate to the whining and crying until they get something. Now though it's toys they really want and will in fact play with for hours on end. It's the feeling of walking through the store with your little one crying, daddy, please please daddy that toy. I must have that toy. I'm such a softie. At least when they're older you can explain things to them in a rational sensical fashion!!! Sensfaction´s last blog post..The Spoon - Monday Morning Laugh - passed to me through email

My 12 yr old asked for a cell phone. I told her no, we need to start living like we have no money.
Then during a trip to Target, where I’m putting some unnecessary, but much wanted items in my cart, she reminds me “we’re supposed to be living like we have no money.” Smart ass kids.

Ha! This is SO funny. I'm with Teri, I just say no. As a matter of fact, after I say no, if they keep asking, I start saying no to everything they ask after that. Can I have a snack? No Will you get me some water? No Will you help me brush my teeth? NO For every extra time they ask me, I tack on another "no" to whatever other question they ask me. I'm a hard ass I know. But they do get the point. (Rose just tonight reminded me of a time that I did this. She said I deleted her favorite movie from the DVR because she wouldn't stop asking me if she could watch it. Doh!) T´s last blog post..Please?

HA! Great story. I’ve tried a few times to provide “moral stories” to my 10-year old daughter…but she normally interjects multiple times with stories of her own that relate (at least they relate to her). By the time I get to the point of the story I’m telling, she’s talked so much I’ve actually forgotten the moral.

And on the off-chance that I remember and finally tell her, I’d get a classic answer:

“Uh-huh.”

A monogrammmed mustard colored bowling ball? Too bad it isn’t still around so you could bring it out when you tell this fun story. Now it would be a “vintage” monogrammed mustard bowling ball!

I whined for a stylish little convertible, ended up with a little bland economy sedan and pretty much haven’t whined for anything since. <—–Maybe your kids will read this? ;)
