It’s all so much easier until they go to school and then . . . well let’s say not everyone is on the same page

They can do what they like in their own homes but when their kids come to MY home, they follow MY rules.

Indeed but humans (especially little ones) are most influence or conditioned by intermittent reinforcement - so in our houses it may work - but long term life choices can be made outside in the rest of their world . . . hence The desirability of effective public health policy

Let’s be honest - half of the women in the country who have kids are in that position because they couldn’t say no in the first place. (After studies show over 40% of births are accidental pregnancies)

That implies that we wait to be asked....

My 4yr old son asked for an apple straight after a big dinner tonight. 3 times we said no and eventually he forgot all about it.

Probably because 'No' infringes their children's rights and the parents have to be liked right? It is the responsibility of parents and adult guardians to regulate (control?) what their charges eat NOT the state. It is irresponsible to take the easy route and give in.

Shock horror. Parents with low self control to say “no” find it hard to instil self control into their children to not ask. Maybe twe aching kids self discipline in school would be good but they stopped that years ago as well.
