It’s a YouTube challenge from the beginning, and also an awesome movie with Jennifer Garner. Basically it’s 24 hours where the parents have to say yes to the kids wishes, No is not allowed.
However there’s a budget ofc and some rules.
The budget is upto every family to adjust after what they can afford.
And the rules also depends a little bit. Nothing that will affect the future is allowed, so that means that you can’t go and buy a pet for example. Or travel abroad since the yes day is only for 24 hours. (Technically we could go back and forth to Denmark for example or somewhere else in Europe like France because it’s a short distance, but everything is Covid-19 closed so we’re staying in Sweden)
The kids also needs to plan and agree on what to do on the yes day, beforehand and show the parents a plan.
And they need to behave to deserve it. Our boys behaves all the time (except for when they are fighting with eachother, but with 1,5 years between them that’s kinda natural) they had a hard year just like all of us, so we wanted to treat them with a yes day.
However our boys doesn’t really have high demands, and wished to have cinnamon rolls and bacon for breakfast, hamburgers for lunch and pizza for dinner. And spend the day in their underwears playing games on their phone. And maybe visit the local toy store (It’s not really a toy store we’re on the countryside so they’re selling everything besides groceries, makeup, toys, home decor paint yeah you get it)
So we’re planning a surprise for them, and have booked an hotel weekend in a nearby city (Gothenburg) we’re they can get an all inclusive bracelet and have unlimited access to popcorn drinks, and Icecream during our stay. The possibility to visit a big toy store, an even bigger candy store, play at a huge playground, visit the harbor, and eat at McDonald’s. A rare treat for them because once again we’re out in the sticks with a 40 min one drive to the closest McDonald’s, and as y’all know, I’ve got no drivers license.
We haven’t yet told them about the hotel stay, because we didn’t know how things would work out. But being happy with almost nothing, and have been striving through all this mess without any complaints they totally deserve it in my opinion.
There is a chance they just want to stay at the hotel room with the all inclusive playing games, but there’s also an hotel jacuzzi available so I doubt that
