i remember a situation or two where my son didn't get the answer he wanted from his mom, so he came and asked me. i didn't know he asked his mom already, and so i said yes. when i found out he pulled that shit, i nipped it in the bud. he was grounded for two weeks. we never had to worry about that again.
i really think the big thing with raising kids is consistency. this way the kid won't get his way too often but at least he knows what to expect and also to expect not to get away with bullshit that kids always try to pull.
