when my kids where little, I always told them that I was the parent and that I was bigger and stronger than them, so I didn't put up with their nonsense. But now, my 13 yr old is a head taller than me and I'm afraid of her, luckily she's good so I don't need to worry.
I also don't use the word no alot, but I do use it. who ever heard of not using the word no. Can you imagine when they go to work or have relationships, these children are going to grow up thinking the world is their oyster and everything is handed to them on a silver plater.
I also find that parents are either afraid of making their children mad or just don't want to parent anymore or they want to be their childrens friends, none of those will ever work.
