Scottish Julie

I do manage to enforce it because, if they don't zip up then I do it myself.

The thing is, I'm mom so they have to obey me and trust my judgement. So if that means zipped jackets then zipped jackets I expect.

Hi peeps, I am new to this forum as you will probably be able to tell lol. Anyway, I have 3 children, twin girls aged 8 and a boy aged 6. One problem I have when getting them out of the door in the morning is that we have battles over whether they need their jacket zips done up. At the moment we have terrible weather here in Scotland so I have told them that I'm the mother and I say jackets have to be zipped before getting out of the door otherwise they get a loss of priveleges. So, can I ask the question,why do kids not like to zip their jackets up?
