I think the lack of follow through is the worst one. (been there, done that - I'm guilty too)

I learned to take away the smaller things at least at first. Don't start with the big "You'll not go to the Birthday Party!" because you know you're not going to follow through with it. Who wants to disappoint the Birthday boy or girl by having cancellations?

Just like the children getting numb to the word "no", they get numb to the saying "I'm gonna take away......".

I've posted before about how I feel about parents that have cranky children out at stores late at night. You want them to stay up late? Stay home with them and punish yourself! I'm shopping after watching 10-12 wee ones all day. I don't want to hear it!
