How I used to talk to my kids (Before I lost my friggin' mind) Then Dicky: We don't shoot water guns in the house Baby: Why not? Dicky: You're gonna get everything wet. Baby: So? Dicky: So, everything will get ruined. Baby: No it won't Dicky: Yes it will Baby: Nuh-uh Now Dicky: We don't shoot water guns in the house. Baby: Why not? Dicky: Because I said so
Kids don’t really care why. They just want to argue to stall or get their way. Jr. lawyers. It is perfectly fine to say “because I said so” in the moment and then explain it later, IF they care to know.
