[quote=Anonymous]The occasional slip doesn't bother me, though I'll point it out: a huffy "OK" earns a cheerful (not sarcastic) "Sure thing, Mom!" from me. If they want to turn that into a fight, we can do that, but usually I get a sheepish shrug or a "That's what I meant," and that's enough acknowledgement for me. This isn't really that different from when they were little: "I want more corn!" got them more corn, but as I was providing it, I'd say "May I have more corn, please?" just to remind them of the right thing to say. I think you can remind your kids of the rules without turning every lapse into an opportunity for them to beg forgiveness for their transgressions. [/quote]
