    You think you're starting to get a handle on life, the universe, and everything, and then you have children, and get to experience getting outnegotiated by a three year old or being unable despite one's best efforts to get bedtime to happen.

        In a very "Yep that's my daughter anecdote", cleaned up a bit from a more fluid conversation: Wife: Daddy will buy you Popo-chan [a doll] because you saved up. Lillian: Stop talking about Popo-chan. Daddy will buy me Popo-chan's dress because I saved up. Wife: What.

        Lillian: Daddy already agreed to buy Popo-chan. Don't need to talk more about Popo-chan. Need to talk more about Popo-chan's dress.

        I seriously want to know where she learned that because not only was I not born with that hardware I don't think I would have been able to articulate "Don't spend time talking about things you've already agreed on unless it generates momentum for new things" even at age 30.

        Persistence is a key negotiation tactic.

        I learnt the best approach to having X happen with kids (and many humans) is to just 100% *know* it will happen. There’s no doubt in your mind. You’re calm. You’re not discussing it. You’re not pushing it. At most you’re reminding or informing them.
