I guess we're making spaghetti tacos tonight.

And if you don't know what a gentle parent is,

Letting your child kind of have autonomy over themselves and their lives,

and so shielding them from that is silly.

So, I wanted to try something for a week.

I wanted to try saying yes to my kids for a week.

because, if not, my house would probably have burnt down.

First, I did not let my kids know that I was doing this,

So they had no idea that this was happening.

Second, there were some things that needed to still happen.

There are certain hygiene-oriented things

that need to happen, health-oriented things,

like you can't have cookies for every meal.

But beyond that, I let things go and I said yes.

Usually, I'd have them watch a little T.V.

but they both are hungry, apparently starving to death.

We're walking and he wanted to ride his scooter.

I know that we'll get there, get his hair cut,

and his younger brother all the way home.

he rode his scooter the whole way back, too.

and that was kind of my first realization of like,

So they both wanted chicken nuggets for dinner

and they asked if we could sit and watch Adventure Time

So the one thing that I was most nervous about

you know what it's like getting meals on the table.

So I have this rotation of standard meals

because you got something good, you just keep doing it.

I'm gonna attempt to put it in a hard taco shell

because I feel like a soft one with soft spaghetti

that my kids caught on to during the week,

that I was being a lot more flexible with.

is that they're more likely to eat the entire plate

if they've chosen what they're gonna have.

And ultimately, they'll get what they need nutrition wise,

So this week wasn't all rainbows and butterflies.

that I definitely should continue to say no to.

The kids really wanted Starbucks for breakfast,

And we have a lot of errands to run today,
