Child Bribing

Posted on 02/16/202004/19/2025 by Mark

Is it possible to bribe an almost 4 year old; Niko will be 4 in May?

The bribe begins with something I want, something I need, or something that must be done…for Niko.

The bribe ends with food; usually it will be chocolate.

But to be honest, it doesn’t work because he is already smarter than I am and he then bribes me! And when that happens, it works because I give in way to quickly; otherwise, he cries oceans and screams louder than a heavy metal rock concert.

Hey, all I am trying to do is to cut his nails, get him bathed or showered, get him dressed, get him to turn off his iPad, get him to poop, or get him to stop doing something that can possibly hurt him.

Hi, I am Mark. I started writing in 2011 about high school football, daddy blogging since 2015, and reviewing books since 2023. My writing style is unique, my sense of humor is a little crazy, and I’m not embarrassed to share any of it. You can email me at thedadspeaks@icloud.com.
