[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you need your husband's permission to pee? sign the kids up for something. Drop them off. Pretty simple.[/quote]

What?  No.  DC need convincing.  I am asking for advice from parents with difficult children.  [/quote]

Convincing to do what? You don't have to convince them to to go school. They just have to go. Same thing in summer. They have to go do whatever you decide they have to go do. [/quote]

OP here.  You don't ask them what camps or what interests?  DC has no say then, right?  At all? [/quote]

Of course they get a say. I'm the pp that said give 2-3 or however many options early on. I know my kid and have a general idea what they would like. So they get options when we decide on summer plans, including camps and vacations etc. then either they pick or if they dawdle and it's close to deadline then I pick. Summer is long. It's not just one single activity. But DH and I are always on the same page and ate a united front. And if we are not we get there before making decisions. We are schedule people. Not to say over scheduled with activities but pay attention to the calendar all the time since we have work and work trips and volunteer commitments and family close that wants to hang out so we pay attention to their vacation plans etc. So months and weeks are planned out and then we can be flexible if need be. And if we decide that a weekend day is for doing nothing but lounging and reading or the pool or whatever, we can do that too. [/quote]
