[Misc] Anyone tried a "Yes day"? #DadsNet

[Bozza]

Having just stumbled across the tweet (X post) below, and being previously aware of the film, I think this is a good thing.

I like the idea of not telling them though because. with a 13-y-o, if he knows in advance it's only going to get silly.

Anyone done it? How did it go?

How does this work if you have more than one sibling?

Child A (Yes child) asks for McDonald’s and gets it. Child B asks and gets diddly-squat.

No.

I would be broke in 5 minutes

I quite liked the girl in the film

 

[Gwylan]

Jeez no, I'd be bankrupt by midday

Absolutely no chance

Read The Dice Man instead and you'll realise what a terrible idea this is.

Speaking as a Grandad every day is a 'yes' day. (Well that's what it seems like).

I’ve done this with my 2 boys. We usually do it around their birthday but we do tell them and we set a budget for the day.

Last one we did was something like:
Pancakes for breakfast
To the park
To the beach
Bus to town
McDonald’s lunch
Daddy to walk home (mummy and kids on the bus)
Amazon shopping
Film of their choice
Pizza
Computer games
Later bedtime

Was actually a really good day. Giving them a limit and sticking to bedtime etc helped.
My boys are nearly 8 & 6 so young enough that they don’t have the huge imagination. But it’s something we’ve done for a couple of years now and will continue to do as long as they want to.

Becoming a 7 year old girls step-dad years ago, I often found saying yes a lot simpler than saying no. Not only did I not want to be the evil step dad, but saying yes caused far fewer tantrums and rarely put me out anyway.

What a crock of shit
