"No buts! Because I said so"

I explain things to my kids so they know WHY we are doing them. If they have an idea as to why we should be doing it differently, like give me 10 more minutes first, or I like it this way, then I listen, consider a compromise, if at all possible.

For example, if it's time for bed, but they're in the middle of a fortnite match, then I let them finish it. If it's time for school, and they just started a match, sorry, turn it off, you knew we had to leave soon.
