In combat, chess, and daddery, these are called tactics. In this case, a counter-tactic. Soldier forth, sir.

Yeah but now you've got a bunch of crap in your house. So who really won? (Hint: it was the seller.)

hahahahahaha you sure showed her! LOL :) Great work my friend!

jajajajja xD  muy buena

Sometimes no is good and the only reply. I say no more to yes and everyone turned out ok, maybe more negative lol. At least you had a moral victory and she should grow out of the tantrums soon. I forgot Christmas is around the corner.

I'm gonna need you to go buy a set of Football penalty cards, then flash them at the missus during times like this.

LOL!!! Good one!! Oh that is definitely something I would do, hahahaaaa!

Quite funny !

Of course, when the good lady was telling you not to be negative, as a man you must take action and become a yes man to everything that you encounter. Upvoted!

(What a rough ride these past few days after HF20. I was amazed this blockchain is so resilient.)

Oh no, not a curmudgeon!! This can not happen!!! lol Ahhh, sometim3es we are damned no matter what we say. So great to be rocking it back on the Steemit train.

Sometimes a distraction will work, for the traffic, a quick swing and place her on your shoulders, one leg on each side of your neck.
Cant run into the traffic from there, the surprise will stop the squark. the Good Lady will be impressed.
When it is the little lad's turn to go through the phase, carry him upside down, again the surprise is the thing.

Why does everyone wants a unicorn?
In a recent event I attended, people were doing all sorts of tasks to get their card stamped so that can complete it to exchange for a unicorn.

I do not think that is the best behavior that your daughter can have, because if 5 years you do those tantrums do not want to imagine when he is 15 years? Want to get away from home whenever you like and you can not say anything because your wife will agree with it, sounds very crazy but are behaviors that at least for me are not suitable

That's absolutely hilarious! My almost 6 yr old seems to be moving past the tantrums, but the almost 3 years old is picking up where his big brother left off... Sigh...

Anyway, I'd love to see a proper photo of said unicorn once you've got it lit up in the yard! 😆

While I do try to say yes to more things sometimes you just have to say no and postpone it or no it can't happen at all for whatever reason, it sucks that we can't have whatever we want whenever we want however we want but that's how things roll XD Never really thought of yes and  no or positive and negative as being inherently good or bad though o_O

Least the good lady isn't like this parent I've been told about who subscribed to some form of parenting where apparently they never said no to their child ever because it was negative etc, but didn't replace it with anything at all and their kid was apparently a spoilt little brat who never got pulled up on bullying other kids because telling them off would break their spirit or something to that effect O_o (and you can pass on the story if you have concerns XD)

I don't think I should have laughed at your revenge but I did XP

O those damn tantrums, jeez they kill you....but NO is not a swear words - I teach kids every days whose parents do not say no and unfortunately they think it is their ticket to freedom - Life is bitch and will tell you NO when ever she wants, so better get use to it - I am on your side for this, but ouch that payback is epic.

There's nothing like a unicorn to let people see the errors of their ways.

Sounds like the littlest lady here is really in charge ;) Wrapped round little fingers comes to ming :)

I've embraced my curmudgeonly ways years ago, though I've no child to inflict them upon, just myself and those few who are unfortunate enough to be around me if I get 'set in my ways' ;)

These are the days that the history books will come back to and thank/curse you to the high heavens/depths of hell, a-BRO-calypse! The little lady will grow tired of the No's and day by day work towards a world where her will is law. But, in the times when you say yes is when she will learn the most. In fact, she'll learn the most important lesson of them all!

**Sooner or later, they will all bow down to my will.**

Goosebumps.

🤣 Love the way you handled that! High fives for ***giving in** when most effective!

Greetings @meesterboom.

Lovely story-telling and illustrations......too soon for Holiday Unicorns...yes...but a wee bit of positive in such a way is a laugh.....now for the rest of the story.....afterall the Unicorn would look lovely in the attic.  hehe  ^__^

All the best.

Cheers!
