[quote=Anonymous]It's okay to say no and it's okay to not do everything your toddler wants you to do. It's okay to say "mommy is tired! I can't pick you up, but I can snuggle with you on the couch." Or "I can't get that for you right now, let's see how fast you can get it!" When baby comes you'll still have to say no to your older one, it's okay and they need to know that mom and dad won't do everything for them and with them. It helps them grow. So think of the saying "not right now" as helping them be independent beings instead of feeling like you're disappointing them. Hugs! It's a tiring time. [/quote]
