[quote=Anonymous]My boys are 3.5 and 2. SAHM. I rarely give them a choice on if we are going to do things are not: go on a hike, playground, museum, etc. If they are really sick, or have a strong aversion, then we might not do it. Otherwise, it is “Get in the car we are going to XYZ.” I am really surprised when people say “oh, my daughter did not want to come on the hike. I’m really disappointed.” I am always a little stunned that a three-year-old is calling the shots. My boys do not get to say what we do. I mean, I’ll give them the choice occasionally between two play places or grocery stores. But they do not get to dictate if we leave the house or not. Sometimes we will be at a play place and we will have plans to go to lunch after but “I can’t get Larla to leave!” Am I alone in this? Do your kids get a choice?[/quote]
