Most days I pick my battles. I have found that often times the struggles are minor and just giving in to unimportant demands is ok. Just as long as they don't realize you're giving in. Although mother always knows best, sometimes it's better to let them think they're smarter, because it won't be long before they realize they are in fact wrong!
