"You said YES"

The say yes angel

Sometimes I'd like to let my children do things on their own, especially they already know how to do it. But, sometimes they just like me to help them doing things. Yesterday, when I was busy working with my freelance project. My little girl came to me and asked me to do something for her. It's very simple, I forgot what it was, so I asked her to do it herself. She insisted me to do it for her. After some time, she told me "You said YES." When did I say that? I was asking her to do it herself. She pointed at my profile picture on mylot, saying "see, you are nodding your head and say Yes." I was laughing and I just couldn't resist her request. (I forgot I was also visiting mylot at that time.) My little girl always likes to look at the little angel and says she is nodding her head. Sometimes, it's just hard to resist their requests especially when I find them so lovely and adorable. Moreover, I still remember my son told me the reason he'd like me to do it for him is because he feels love. I read about this from an article as well. Though I don't want to spoil them, it's good to spread the love to them always too, especially I know they are actually quite independent, that's good enough. Do you always say Yes?

No, I do not say yes all the time, sometimes it is necessary to say no, for the good of children.

Yes, I understand that. Actually I always say No to them, though I'd like to find an alternative way to say NO, a gentler way.

Yes, sometimes it's just so hard to resist their request especially when you see their innocent and adorable faces. My little girl always knows how to cheer me up, even when I am angry.

No I don't always say yes but most of the time I would. It is fun to help the children with little projects.

Yes, I can understand why sometimes children like us to help, even though they already knew how to do it. I'm happy to get a flavor from them as well.

@kaka135 It is good to let them know you love them and sometimes that is all they need.

@Marcyaz Yes, I always think it's the love, warmth and sense of security that help a person to grow to be a loving, caring and responsible person.

It's good not to spoil the children, and let them learn how to take care of themselves.

I understand what you mean. Though I don't say Yes all the time, I don't say No always too. Moreover, I also think it depends on the age of the child.

@mom210 Me too. I explained to my son, the older we are, the more responsibilities we'll have, and the more freedom we'll get to enjoy as well. Lately I just told him a story regarding this, so I just explained this to him as well, as he's the eldest.

@kaka135 I do agree with that. I do find myself saying no to the older ones more than the little ones

I love my children dearly but no, I never always said yes when they were young. I was lucky in a way since they always seemed to want to do things for themselves to the extent that I felt useless at times. However, it has made them grow up to be independent, successful and strong and yes - loved.

That's good. I think you are not useless at all, it's because of you, they learned to be more independent and know how to do things for themselves.
