Blog 37 - Monday, March 15, 2021
This BLOG topic is inspired by the movie "YES DAY."
Do your parents ALWAYS say "NO!"
What if, for one whole day (24 hours), they could ONLY say "YES!"
What would you ASK them for?
Why would you make those requests?
Explain.
I actually had watched this movie recently with my family so this blog was perfect but to be honest I found the idea pointless like sure you can get most things you want for a day but realistically what could you do. Now during Covid there's a bunch of thing that you can't ask for and then there's the issue of even if it's always yes there's some things that no one would say yes to like to get a new car or any other incredibly expensive item. I think that the one thing that I'd want to if I really did get the option to do whatever I wanted would be to go play paintball with some friends.
ReplyDeleteMy parents do not always say no. They like the be reasonable about a lot of things, which is why they say no to some things, but exactly all of them. This whole concept is not very good, in my opinion. As soon as you are aware of the fact that your parents can only say yes, most people would start abusing their newfound power, and a lot. It's not healthy behavior. Keeping this in mind, I would only ask for certain things that I had been looking at for a while. Newest lego sets that have caught my eye, or perhaps a new PC. But I would not be looking for items that will decimate their bank account. I have lost interest in quite a few things since I was young, so I do not desire to own as many things. I would maybe try and do something fun, like a trampoline place, but once again, nothing substantial. I would make these requests purely because not only are these the things I would like most in the world, but I have also done research on these things, and figuring out how much they would cost.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the thing I want most in the world is a giant robot scorpion.
Yeah my parents are also quite reasonable, nice blog!
DeleteI won't question what you're going to do with a giant robot scorpion but other than that, beautifully-written blog!
DeleteMy parents don't always say no. They are fair and logical about most things, my mom has one big "unconditional rule" which is "if you aren't going to respect me then get out of my house". But they let us discuss most things while showing respect. Obviously if your parents could only say yes for 24 hours kids are going to take advantage of it and ask for ridiculous things. It would be disastrous and kids would be out of control. One thing I've always wanted is for my dad to work less, I almost never see him and I would like to spend more time with my whole family. In terms of material things, I always change my mind on what I want so I would probably ask for money so I can buy whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is also fair and logical about most things. Great blog!
DeleteI'd ask for that too, great blog!
DeleteMy parents don't usually say no. Sometimes I think they say yes too often. They let me make big decisions and most of the times I end up regretting them. If they could say yes to me for a whole day I don't think anything different would really happen. Im grateful for everything I have but I wish they'd spend more time with me. So, I'd probably ask them to leave work and spend a day with my sister and I as a family. I'd ask this because the last time they took time off work to spend a day as a family was probably 6 years ago. I think kids would mostly ask for materialistic things but at the end of the day, money can't buy life and I would rather spend time with my family.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my mom says yes too often too
DeleteI don't know if any other parent is like this but my mom doesn't necessarily say yes or no. She'll mostly say ok or maybe. For example, if I ask to go to a friends house in a few days, she'll say maybe. When the day comes, I'll ask her again then she'll say ok. If my mom could say yes for 24 hours (obviously if COVID wasn't a thing), I'd probably ask her if we can go visit family. I don't really have anything to ask for and I don't want her to spend unnecessary money on me. I would make that request because I love being around my family, especially my cousins. We always get along and it makes me really happy.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I want to have a day with my cousins too. Great blog!
DeleteIn terms of buying things, my parents don't say no a lot, but then again I don't ask for much. I was fortunate enough to be taught the value of money at a young age and so I never wanted a certain toy with an incredible passion, and if I did, I would change my mind in a few seconds. That being said, I still get things. If my parents had to say yes for 24 hours, I would ask them to stay away from my sister. Jokes aside, I would probably ask my mom to take dancing lessons because it's so clear that's where her passion lies and for some reason she still doesn't take them. I would also ask my dad to go to "Dorval Aviation Flight School" and do the "Pilot for a Day" thing. I'm not asking him to get a license or anything but to just get in the air one more time. As you probably guessed, my dad wanted to be a pilot but never realized his dream and now he thinks it's too late. Aside from that, I wouldn't ask anything of my parents.
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice of you! Great blog!
DeleteMy mom also wants to be a pilot! Awesome blog!
DeleteThat's really nice of you, helping your parents chase their dreams. Good blog!
DeleteThats so cool great blog
DeleteDo they get full credibility to fly planes in that one day? If so, I am interested.
DeleteMy parents usually say “No” to a lot of things I ask for. They usually do this for safety reasons but sometimes it's ridiculous and it gets annoying. If they could only say “Yes”, then I would make them get me some video games I would never get. I would also make it so they have to say yes for making my favorite food and I would make them say yes for buying better internet, because our family really needs a better internet. I don’t wanna ask my parents for extreme things that are out of their control, so I’d only ask for simple things like video games.
ReplyDeleteYes, food! I agree.
DeleteMy parents say no a lot but it always depends on what i'm asking, my parents dont like me buying things that i dont need, and they dont like when i stay somewhere alone with people they dont know. i usually ask when theyre in a good mood so they say yes, because when theyre tired or annoyed then they say no and i cant convince them otherwise. if i could get them to say yes to anything and if covid wasnt a thing, i would ask to go back to asia, we go every year but we couldnt this year and i really miss it there and want to see my family. unfortunately covid is a thing, so what i would ask for right now would probably just be clothes and games.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't necessarily say no all the time, it obviously depends on what I ask for. I don’t usually ask them for a lot, because I never really know what I want and I always end up changing my mind. My parents will usually say maybe, to give them time to think about it. I wouldn't want my parents to spend their hard earned money on me, I would probably just ask to go hang out with my family, specifically my cousins. My sister and I have a really good relationship with my younger cousins, so if we could all spend a day all together it would be really fun and I would really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't say no a lot. mostly when I'm being unreasonable, for example if I'm going to ask for a whole new library in my room they'll say no, but if I ask for a few books then they'll say yes. Personally I feel like kids or anyone basically would take advantage of the "parents being able to say yes for everything". If I we're to ask for something that my parents would say yes for is that I would tell my mom to go to aviation school, that was her dream until one day she was flying and fractured something in her leg, it hurts me every day to think about how much she wants to do one thing but is doing something completely different. My final request would be to tell my dad to cut back on hours, he works so much and sometimes it feels like he's barely home, coming after 11pm almost every day. Money is worth so much less than family.
ReplyDeleteI agree, my parents mostly say no when Im unreasonable. Great Blog!
DeleteWhat I would most likely ask for would be to play video games on the off days, and be able to go to bed later on the off days as well. During the week I am not allowed to play video games and one of my request would be just to play on my off days, as I do not really believe it really is a "school" day. Even going to bed later. Since my parents consider the off days actually school days, they do not let me go to bed later either. Those would probably be the 2 request I would want the most besides all the commons ones like money or the best tech or cars.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I would also love to be able to go to bed later during the week.
DeleteMy parents are reasonable, I don't really ask for much but when I do it’s usually yes. I know the value of money and I wouldn't ask my parents for anything crazy. I don’t need anything, I’m not a materialistic person. So my day would probably be the same as any other day. But if I had to ask for something I would probably ask for shoes. I like shoes, I have a lot of pairs but I want some shoes. I would probably ask for the Jordan 4 Bred or the Jordan 3 UNC. I would ask for these because these are my 2 favorite Jordans. I value memories and real life things over material things.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it feels like my parents like to say no a lot but I figure it's because they have more experience so they know what is best for me. I know also for a fact that my parents have been through way worse than me, since my dad was part of a very poor family in England, and my mother part of a family who lived in communist Poland, and had to move to Algeria to hold decent jobs. So while they are more strict than all my friends parents, I respect their decisions, and I am happy about the person that they have shaped me out to be. But if they said yes to me for a whole day I would ask for a PS5 and a new hockey stick, just because I had to say something, and those are some things that I've been looking at.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is reasonable. But, I guess you can say that she leans more on the side were she says "yes" more than she says "no". If for a day she can always say yes, I'll probably ask her to take a one way trip to somewhere hot, like Costa Rica. Or just somewhere in Europe. I'd ask for that because I have never been to Europe and I've always wanted to visit. I'm also sick of the snow. So, I want to spend my winter in the sun on a beach.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to travel to Costa Rica! Great blog
DeleteMy parents are pretty reasonable because I don't ask for unreasonable things. Im pretty happy with everything I have so im never really put into a yes or no situation unless its like Can we have s p a g h e t t i? and they would say s u r e. But if there was 24 hours where they could only say yes, then I would probably feel guilty about asking for something really expensive or something like buying several consoles with several video games. But if we say that money is unlimited, then I would ask them if I could get some video games. Also I would go to a l l the restaurants and eat all the gourmet and good foods. Then I would ask to go skydiving cause thats like number one on everyone's bucket list. Id also wanna go swimming in a reallyu big heated wave pool. cause that sounds fun. Also I would ask them to buy a ton of foam sponges or something to fill a room to the brim and then I could burrow or swim in it.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought of a heated wave pool all to myself but now that you talked about it, it sounds wonderful!
Deletefilling a room with foam sponges to burrow in sounds really fun! nice blog!
DeleteI would say my parents aren't always saying no, I wouldn't say there not strict, it's just that I'm not going to ask questions I already know the answer to. If my parents said yes to everything for an entire day, I obviously wouldn't ask for a car or a house just because I would feel awful stealing money from my parents. If money wasn't a logistical part of the question than I would ask for another dog. I would also ask for a house, for a lot of money, a car, the list goes on and on. If money was realistic, I'm not sure if I would ask for anything, maybe just a nice homemade steak dinner or something small.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don’t always say no. My parents are pretty reasonable. On the rare occasion when they do say no it’s probably because they know better than me and have more life experience. If my parents could only say yes for one day I’d ask them to go on vacation somewhere hot and spend quality time together. We would spend all day relaxing on the beach and eating ice cream. I would make these requests because I love traveling to new places and being with my family.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun, i wish that could happen now for my family too but it seems almost impossible due to our current state.
DeleteI would also ask for vacation. Great blog!
DeleteMy parents are pretty reasonable most of the times too. Good blog!
DeleteThe word ¨no¨ may not appear often in my family but it's presence is shaded in other words of comfortably and reason. You see my parents can promise me and my sibling things but depending on the circumstances there decision and promise might alter or be shattered due to tight schedule or just lack of time. If my parents could say yes for one whole day I think I'd ask them to relax and take it easy cause we never seem to have the time to do that these days considering there work and covid in the mix. Something always seems to be in the way and because of it all of us suffer, I just wish for one day we can just take the time to have fun together as a family and enjoy the outdoors or go downtown and see the sights. If all of my family especially my sister can take a day off from modern society's distractions and realise the worlds endless voyage of colours together without anything in the way to stop us, that would be my request.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't say no often unless it comes to unreasonable things. They are pretty fair about making decisions. If there are somethings that I disagree with, we would just have a discussion until both sides are happy. If my parents can say yes for 24 hours, I wouldn't ask for much since I don't really know what I want, and I'm grateful for everything I own. The only thing I would ask is to go on vacation because it has always been a part of my good memories. It's fun and relaxing plus I could spend time with my family.
ReplyDeleteI would also ask to go on vacation, great blog!
Deletemy parents are very reasonable but if i could ask for anything and they had to say yes for 24 hours, i'd ask if i could teach them, play with them and explore the outdoors. i have always loved it when we wrestle and when they act like my older sibling instead of as my parents. i have loved this because i dont have true sibling and it is funner then playing with my imagenary siblings sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't always say no, but my mother doesn't let me buy stuff she doesn't find useful even if I'm paying with my own money. I find this very peculiar because it really does not affect her if I'm spending my own money. If they could only say yes for a whole day I would just finally buy the stuff I've been wanting. I wouldn't ask them to pay for my stuff because I don't think it's fair to make someone else pay for something for you for no reason other than because you can.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't always say no, they expect me to handle myself and not do stupid things. They trust me that I can take care of myself and manage my own things. If for one day they could only say yes, I would ask for a dog or dogs, a new computer and many other things. I would have a whole new life if they had to say yes for a day. I would ask for these things because I have always wanted this really nice computer that I have had my eye on and I would also want pets because my parents always think that it is too much responsibility. They are a lot of responsibility, although, I have three other siblings that would also take care of the pet so it wouldn't be too much work if we split up the work. If this day happened, I would have a lot of fun buying everything I would want.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like that would be an awesome day for you. Great Blog!
DeleteMy parents don't always say no, but they always expect me to make the right decision when it comes to purchasing or just anything in general. Now if I want something, I won't usually ask my parents for it, I will just save up money so I could buy it myself. Therefore "Yes day" would be kind of pointless because I don't really have anything in mind that I would want to buy. Although, if this day were to ever happen, I would still take advantage of it. I would probably ask for some video games, or a TV for my room, or even a mini fridge for my room. There is on thing that I would probably wait for last, which would be a week round trip to Hawai'i or Japan or Australia, that way we can leave at night and stay the whole week. I am really grateful for what my parents have already done for me, so this day can just remain as a dream.
ReplyDeleteMy parents dont always say no, it depends on what i ask for. They say no about the same amount of times they say yes. If they could only say yes for 24 hours I would probably ask them to get tickets to mexico or somewhere warm for a couple weeks since I'm really tired of winter. I would also probably go shopping, online and in person, since there's a lot of stuff I want and it can get expensive after its all added together. Then I would just ask them to order food and we would watch tv for the rest of the night, since those are my favourite nights.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a vacation would be nice
DeleteMy parents don't always say no. If they could only say yes for one day, I would definitely ask to do some online shopping, I love to shop. Secondly, I would also ask to get some food. Next, I would probably ask them to clean my room because it is a mess. Finally, I would ask my parents to buy something that they really want so that everyone is happy and we can have a fun day.
ReplyDeleteMy parents do not always say no, they are usually pretty reasonable with most things. To be honest I do not really ask for much though. I do not really want anything right now that I can not buy myself, but I guess if I had to ask for something I would just ask for money for when I actually want something. Also for a spotify premium account because mine is about to run out and I do not feel like paying for it again.
ReplyDeletemy parents also Don't always say no. Great blog!
DeleteThere are some topics were my parents are super strict for example school but besides that they both have different opinions and perspectives on things. I usually just go ask the person who is most likely to say yes. Honestly, I don't much would change if my parents were forced to say yes to everything because they are pretty reasonable when it comes to those things. The only things I would ask them is if I could go travelling around the world and I would bring my sister.
