Why is it your kids think you are stupid? Last night a friend of my youngest called seeing if he and a friend could spend the night tonight. The boys don't have school, but my husband does work, so I said I would have to run it by him. One of the boys would have to be here until 5pm Friday. I was planning on cleaning house tomorrow and since we had two of his friends over last weekend, I was looking forward to a quiet weekend. Also, the oldest wasn't happy to hear we might be having friends of the youngest over again. With all that in mind, I said "sorry, no can do." I thought that was the end of it. Silly me! Just a few minutes ago I got a call from the youngest, when I answered he put his friend on the phone. This kid, who I love like he's mine....he spends enough time over here...started to beg: "why can't we spend the night." Now, I believe in being polite, but I hate the bargaining that goes on once I've made my decision. I was firm, but I just hate being put in that position; not only that, but I'm more determined that ever to stick to my guns. What about you, how do you feel about situations like this?
