What did you take away from it if anything?
I tend to to worry sometimes when things seem like they’ve been going too smoothly for too lol
Yesterday, at dinner, when I asked my son to have some of the salad.
And it was a very energetic NO.
I have toddlers. I get told “no” all the time. Even when it doesn’t make any sense, which is most of the time.
Do they respond to reverse psychology?
In my experience? Not even a little
They don’t even respond to normal psychology 🤷
I took my wife out for pancakes today. We’re both crazy busy today but decided that a huge gut-busting lunch was a good idea. So while we were out fretting about how much we each still had to do and a little worried about whether or not we had time to even have gone out for lunch, I asked her if we could drive another 40-ish minutes out of the way to see if a game store had an Rpg book I’ve been looking for. She said no. She pointed out that I had just called and asked if they had it in stock and they said no, and that I had just done that in front of her literally 1 minute ago. I said that yeah, that may be true but maybe they were wrong.
From this I took away that my wife is definitely the adult in our relationship.
Still need my book though.
“Are you sure you don’t want to take any more brownies home with you?”
“No, this is enough.”
Famous last words
Narrator: it wasn’t enough
I was doing a puzzle game and I got stuck so I asked my husband to check if I had correctly understood all the clues and after he checked he said “No.”
The nerve of that bloke.

Hi I’m your husband. Could you explain to me the problem? I think it is that you wanted a hint instead of a confirmation?
You see, I thought Vicky could be a criminal or an innocent but really she can only be an innocent because if she were a criminal, Ruby would have more criminal neighbours than Evie.
Thank you for explaining, Schatzi.
I asked if we could order food, husband said no. But it was very likely, it’s the end of the month.
I dunno. I mostly don’t read my replies. Watch:

Today. I asked my mother if she will make some custard for me. She said no, because we don’t have many fruits right now.
By the way here’s pictures of vegan custard my mother made a month ago.
Soy milk, custard powder, mangoes, grapes, dried cranberries, dried blueberries, maybe banana too.
About ten minutes ago, when I asked a coworker if they would cover my station while I went on break.
I still went on break, I just found someone else to cover me.
I have a spiel I usually like to give about this. But long version short, rejection is really good for us. So is seeking out situations where we can possibly be told no.
Should clarify that this post was more sort of like what you’re mentioning, i dont consider people disagreeing with me or challenging me dialecticaly in the same “no” as I was getting at, its honestly engaging and i enjoy testing out what i know or have arrived at by bouncing it off others.
I guess what im getting at is when things get too smooth i start wondering if I’m manipulating things or people to cause that haha. I worry a little bit that the karma is accruing and I’m yet overdue for a devastating “market correction” phase, if you catch my drift
then it sounds like you’re very proactive in your life and are seeing the rewards of being well adjusted. I’m glad you didn’t take it as encouragement to constantly push everyone’s boundaries, I worried I had worded it poorly.
I asked if I could buy a discounted membership for my mom, but the office admin said that was unfortunately just a full-time employee perk. :(
