Truth: No, no, no, no!

Truth #22

"I say 'no' to my children way too often. It's habit now. I can feel myself saying 'no' before they even ask me for something. I say 'no' when I should say 'yes' just because I'm annoyed that they are even asking me. I counted yesterday. I said 'no' 3 times as often as 'yes'."

I have the opposite problem and my hubby hates it. I once read "Only say no to a child when its neccessary otherwise they won't respect it". So, I live by this rule.
