(ForEveryMom) If there’s one thing that parents know after living through the year 2020, it’s that the word “no” carries a heavy burden. Throughout the pandemic, parents have had to say “no” more than ever before. “No, you can’t go to your friends house,” “no, you can’t have that 17th snack,” “no, we can’t go to that family member’s wedding,” and the list goes on and on.
Feeling the “no” fatigue herself is Jennifer Garner, who stars in the upcoming Netflix film, Yes Day.
Inspired by Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s book of the same name, Yes Day sees Allison (played by Garner), and Carlos Torres (Édgar Ramírez), two former free spirits who have become killjoys in raising their three children. In an effort to loosen up, the parents agree to a “yes day,” in which they let their children make all of the rules for 24 hours.
