cooking

boy:  I wanna eat at my favor restaurant.
mom:  what! whatever I cook is whatever you eat.
boy:  I won't eat anything
mom:  fine! don't eat

(later on: mom went to his favor restaurant and bought the food for him.)

A lot of times, we believe that it's more important to set the rule.
We believe that we should stay tough so the child learn the value of not being spoil.
The truth of the matter is two fold.  I think we got to let the child know we love him
but at the same time, tell him the value of being grateful.
It's a delicate balance and we try to do the right thing.
