I think every family's got a "pushover parent". Lest there is any doubt as to who it is in our family, let me relate today's conversation.
Daughter #2 - "Mom, can I have a sleepover tonight at ____________'s house?"
Me - "I don't know. I'll discuss it with Dad."
Daughter #2 to Friend - "My mom said, 'Probably.'"
Me to Daughter #1 - "I said I don't know. I'll talk to Dad. How did she get probably out of that?"
Daughter #1 - "That means probably."
I'm so glad our children have us pegged. They can even interpret our language. lol.

I am definitely the push-over parent in our family, and the kids know it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny how the kids figure out what our different languages mean. Max knows mine. "We'll see" means maybe. "Maybe" means no. "probably" means yes.
