I have a nine year old who likes to argue (as his mom does) and sometimes it’s tiring to go back and forth. But we don’t have screaming matches ever, and half the time my kid shrugs and says “that makes sense” or “fine whatever” and he is more mature for his age, not less.

Sometimes the rules don't have a good reason other than "society says we have to" but if I don't have any reason at all? Probably not a hill to die on.
Every now and then they’ll find a hole in my logic and wear me down and win a round, and you know what? Good for them.
