Parents - It's Okay To Say "no" To Friends By Tina Frazer, Fri Dec 9th
Today was a beautiful day, one of the last great days of summerI presume, considering it is officially Fall. Typically, ourhouse would be filled with the sounds of neighborhood childrenplaying, laughing, crying, arguing, or being unbelievably quiet.The quiet times are when I worry most. However, today because I made the decision to say "no" tofriends my home is filled with much quieter sounds of only mychildren instead. Our home is the primary neighborhood gathering point, which mostdays I completely welcome. I am a parent who prefers to knowwhere my children are, what they are seeing, watching, andhearing. Occasionally though, I have days like today that Ienforce an official time out to the neighborhood gang, which Ilovingly refer to as a "friend break."
I normally do not mind playing the host, mother, and mediator tomy children's friends, but sometimes it is nice to just have afamily day. Now my children of course at first resist this ideaand whine, "what will I do, who will I play with", and the listgoes on. Their friends also have a hard time initially takingthis news and will eventually end up stopping by or calling afew hours later to see if the verdict has changed. I've learnedwhen this happens not to cave, to stay strong and stick to mydecision. Otherwise if the children detect your weakness theywill work unanimously to change your mind. By all means, don'tlet this happen as if you do you are setting up the tone foryour next "failed" friend break. It is important to be patient and

amazingly you will often seean awesome transformation. Your children will start playing withtheir own siblings, being nice to each other, and having fun.The best part is you can actually enjoy some quality time withyour kids since they're no longer concerned with when and whomthey can play with next. Today, because I chose to say "no" to friends for my children,we have enjoyed a beautiful family day. We have playedbasketball, had intimate chats, buffed, trimmed and painted ournails and truly enjoyed each other's company. It is alsorefreshing to know that my cupboard is still full with snacksand drink boxes for school tomorrow and won't need to be quicklyreplenished. The best part of saying "no" to friends today was that when Isat down to write this article my daughter asked me what anarticle was. I explained many articles are similar to a story.She was excited at the thought of writing an article too and soshe did. It was called, "Why I love my Mom!" My younger daughter colored a picture of flowers for me andasked how to spell, "I love my Mom". Not bad for a parent whowas in the dog house earlier today for calling a "friend break."I suggest you call one someday too!
