I did use 123, and liked it a lot. It really helps when all authority figures are on the same page. It was popular when the boys were that age so his daycare workers also used it when I told them I did. Consistency is a good thing.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

And yes, it is totally parent training, just like dog training is owner training. I found it very helpful.

I vaguely remember 1,2,3,Magic but I don't think we ever used it as written. One tip that stuck with me from that age is to pick a number and count DOWN from it - that way you can't talk yourself into adding more chances.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So really it should be 3,2,1 Magic??

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
This may be a new edition, but it definitely has you counting up to 3 with very little explanation that would allow for negotiations.

Yeah, the tip was from another parent, not the book.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, I not only made appointments with 2 different doctors for minor stuff that won't go away without medical assistance (in the form of sweet sweet meds), I have gone to both appointments and picked up the sweet sweet meds. Self-care victory! Now I really want Pad Thai, and I'm eyeing up DoorDash since Tim has class tonight.

You deserve the Pad Thai for sure.

We took the girls to apply for their passports, voted while we were there, and are now on our way to pick up a new (used) bike for J, who just learned how to ride without training wheels. Now looking up nearby pizza places for dinner, since we've used up all our adulting for the day.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Prescription the doctor supposedly sent in this morning is nowhere to be found at the pharmacy. I got a person at the doctor's office when I called this morning, but naturally had to leave a message a couple of hours ago. And still no prescription.
