All I have to say is don't read the rest of this post it's drivel!!!
Have you ever noticed the huge positive of saying to someone you "must" do something, whether it be, come home on time, eat your tea, or dance a foxtrot.
Inevitably the answer will be that the exact opposite will be done!
Simple fact of human nature, it damages our egos something chronic if we aren't allowed to make our own decisions.
Why was I not told this before I had kids! Or more to the point why is it never explained that a child has an ego from the age of 3 weeks!
It's damned hard work having to think in reverse psychology land to get anything done, in fact so much so that I'm thinking of writing a book entitled Stick out your bottom lip or throw yourself to the ground, (101 reasons to drive a parent mad) and that's just what I did to my Mum, never mind what my boys are up to.
Did it work? Have you got to here? If you have let me know and I'll make that reason 102!
