I just want to say thanks, for writing this post! Most days I feel like such a crank because all I say is "no" ALL day! lol Its the same story here...they have the swing set, climber, playhouse, sand/water table, outside toys...and all they want to do is walk in the flower beds, pull up grass and pick the trees to pieces!! Argh, makes me want to run away!! So after answering the millionth why, I now say "if you want to do that, you need to do that at your own home" haha I know...throw the parents under the bus, but I'am almost positive they throw me under the bus on a weekly basis too!
