My son would probably vote on #1 until he reached a point where he realy, really wanted something, and then he would start negotiating and manipulating me to try to get what he wants.
In some ways it's easier when I'm depressed because I'm more likely to give in to my kids, but that's usually because I feel guilty that I'm not paying more attention to them. If we're fighting more sometimes it means I'm actually paying attention to what they're trying to get away with. They don't see that as healthier, they see that as mom interefering w/their life..
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
