Parenting: Who rules the roost in your household?

You may be familiar with these scenarios: You make your child honey toast, because that's what they asked for but now they want peanut butter toast. You're not happy but you make another piece of toast, this time with peanut butter. You're driving to the supermarket. They want their music - not just some of the time but all the time. So, you go with that. Dinner is ready at the table, but they prefer to eat in front of TV. It doesn't seem worth the battle, so TV dinner it is. Who rules the roost in your household? And when can these accommodations become a problem? Jenny Hale is a senior parenting coach at the Parenting Place.
