Parenting Twitter Responds To Mom Who Says You Should Always Say Yes To Things Kids Want If They Mean A Lot To Them But Not To You

Parenting comes with a lot of difficult decisions because everything you do can affect them in the long run. Saying no to your kids will teach them how that they won’t always get what they want, and sometimes they don’t even know why they want it.

A recent Twitter thread by writer Lucy Huber has parents discussing why saying “Yes” when your kid wants something is actually better in some situations. It’s also just easier (and more fun) for you as a parent.

Lucy isn’t talking about gifts, she’s talking about when your kid comes to you with a weird idea that may seem weird to you, but ultimately, it’s not a big deal. The tweet resonated with parents on Twitter and it sparked a thread all parents should read.
