Y'all are not spending the night with Nana and Papa tonight.
But Alex, I knew good and well, I wasn't about to forfeit my night alone with no kids in order to follow through with that threat.
And I didn't.
And another one is counting to three.
Oh my goodness.
That's why I titled my first parenting book, Don't Make Me Count to Three.
Because that's another one that we see all around us.
We see these parents say, you know, if you don't do this, by the time I count to three, you're going to get it.
And then they start their count.
One, the child doesn't move.
Two, the child still doesn't move.
two and a half.
And so it goes.
But the thing is, children will rise to the standard that the parents set.
If we don't expect our children to obey until we count to three, they're probably not going to obey until we start counting.
And so why not expect instant obedience?
It's so much easier.
It's so much less confusing.
It is definitely more biblical.
And you know what?
