i'm not perfect but i rarely gave in to pester power from my dc, it was a case from the cradle 'don't pester, you won't get, throw a tantrum you won't get' ,
when my 6 dc asked, i would buy within reason as long as they were polite and non demanding, we hardly had any tantrums as a result. i just don't get people who keep saying no then give in to appease the dc, it sets a wrong example imo, not saying that all tantruming dc are demanding as there may be unknown medical issues and l do not judge having a special needs ds
what do other mn's think ? ready for a flaming from some people who indulge,but that's another thread.
