Someone who asks for your help but then responds "yes, but..." to everything you say, so that you're left wondering why they asked for help in the first place, since it seems that they already have all the answers.
Marie is such a yes but-er. She asked for my help and then shot down all my suggestions, acting like I was annoying her...

A "Yes day" is the one day that parents pick to say yes to everything their kids want or ask for. There are still some rules to a "Yes day" though. Rule one, parents can't use their phones. Rule two, the kids can't ask for anything in the future like a dog. Rule three, the kids have to earn a "Yes day", like do an extra chore. Rule four, parents CAN'T say "no" the whole day otherwise it defeats the purpose of a "Yes day". Last but not least, rule five, have fun and enjoy!
