The joy of the long weekend is that it brings the whole family together. However, my husband opted to plan a play date for my children and then left to run errands for the rest of day. I have now become the voice of “No” to my children as the day has slowly lingered on and I attempt to tackle my to-do list.
The one thing that has irked me the most is my children insist on asking the same questions that they already know the answer to…
So as a gentle reminder to my little family I will be placing this notice on the fridge to spare them they agony of hope and me the pain of sounding like a broken record.
Do you ever get tired of sounding like a broken record?
What a fantastic idea! I’m going to post my own note on the fridge right now…
Thank you! It’s definitely worth a try
I love the last one – pop before bed – more like partying all night long! Have a Great One:)
Hahaha! You know that is exactly what they plan to do
They are only allowed one glass of pop on pizza night. They know the rules 
I like that list idea. Now that I’m a gram, the list isn’t quite as long
)
Thank you! I bet your list involves lots of spoiling
kids are kids. they will try their best to squeeze a yes no matter how many times they have to ask.
I guess writing it out in black and white might work
good luck with that
So true! It is always worth a try
If you answer ‘no’ to a ‘do you mind…’ question… it means you don’t mind. So I take it your kids will be playing with silly string today?
Hah! I would catch on to that very quick! There will be no silly string this week.
Brilliant – I’m stealing this! Also, can you do one with pictures for the little one that doesn’t read yet? that’d be super duper awesome, thanks.
I think that might be a fun weekend project
Please just one more? Please just five more minutes? Can we get a dog?
I have actually caved on the last question and now have a stinky mutt.
i can’t wait for your teen questions…and when you will say NO! and i mean, NO! —I’m not mentioning car keys, sleep overs or…:)
No! No! And No! I think I just covered the teen years
Haha, what a great mom!!
I know! I’m terrible

This made me laugh. Perhaps you could acquire an apron with the word “No” written on the front in large letters, hopefully forstalling their need to ask pointless questions
Oh! I love that idea!!! I am going to add that to my Christmas list
Though I STILL hate the looks I get when I say no to my children or grandchildren, once I’ve said that horrific word, “NO!” I feel great!
Hahaha! Me too!
