How much say do your kids have in family decisions?

[user1483390742]

My friends have 1 child and everything they do as a family is decided by their 10 year old son. Holiday destinations, supermarkets, meals for the week, furniture, what to watch on tv...
They say that his opinion is really important and that he needs to feel listened to.
My kids get their say, then me and DH make final decisions.
Are they creating a monster or am i just being a judgemental nosy parker?! 😂

user, does he eat chocolate and ice cream for dinner every day? If not, I imagine they have gone through a stage of making him compromise or some other way to teach him to make sensible choices? Does he go to school? If so he has plenty of experience of not getting much choice at all. I think you may be over-worrying just because it looks different.
