[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of moms on the DC area are used to getting their way and don’t like taking no for an answer. So they push back on other people’s boundaries, not realizing how offensive it can be.

And many have taught their kids that thus is the way the world works. You’re entitled to what you want, and if someone says no, keep trying.

No means no, people. You’re not entitled to an explanation for why a peer won’t change her family’s vacation plans so her DC can attend your kid’s party.  And you’re also not entitled to an explanation of a fellow parent’s Covid policy - especially if under the guise of “just wanting to understand,” you’re really preparing an attempt to persuade or judge.

Teach your kids to respect other people’s boundaries and accept “no” for an answer. I think that might solve some other problems our kids encounter re peer pressure and later, consent. [/quote]

If your kids are in person school and other things you are not being careful and you need a better excuse.  [/quote]
