Things I never thought I'd need to say...

Lately I find myself saying things I never thought I'd need to say - Like "No drinking water from the toilet bowl!" or "The rule in our house is: If you eat like a dog then you don't get any more food."

What have you said lately that you never thought you'd need to say?

"Yes you do have to wash your hair when you take a shower and your body as well!" Rolling Eyes

- to my 8 year old! Like why is this even a question??

"If you don't wear your underpants home one more time, you won't be allowed to go swimming"
"If you have to touch your [other word for p*nis], do it in the bathroom" (poor kid has eczema in a really bad place"
"No, you can't have medicine when you're not feeling well" (He wanted to take his good tasting chewable meds instead of his inhaler.)
I'm sure there are lots of others. I love this thread.

"No! Don't make here - that's the toy box. Here, let me take you to the bathroom."
"Um, that's Mommy's undershirt..."
"Okay, if you really like pretzels on your pizza..."

"I sound just like my mother."

Not true and even if, I would be proud Very Happy

. It's just something that a person never expects to say.

to my 2 big kids:
"can you rock the baby to sleep?"

How about to a seven year old who just woke you and told you that baby has a dirty diaper, "Can you please change it?" (And he does it!)

Do not run round the house naked!
You are a person, not an animal, so please stop eating with your fingers. You're almost 12 years old!
Put it DOWN!!!!!
(When they were younger): Leave the baby alone. She's a person, not a dolly!

And I forgot:
Yes, Mummy is allowed to sit down and eat, because Mummy is also a person!
(And I still remember ds, then about 6, saying, "Right Mummy you're eating now because you're a person?!")

I'm glad I'm not the only one with nudists!

where are your pants? you have to wear pants.

where is your under wear you have to wear underwear

everyone can be a princess if they want to be.

if I hear the b word - barbie- or the p word - princess- you have to go to your room

they don't stop teasing each other your not a pretty princess, its my barbie.

Zigi no you're not I found my kid sleeping naked for the last few nights, he undresses himself in middle of the night (he's 4) - I think all of us have to have one kid that hates clothes!

WARNING: TMIThis one is bad because of his age, so I'll leave that little detail out Wink

.
"If you feel you have to fart, go to the toilet." I'm sure you can figure out why. It's happened too many times. I told him no birthday party this year, if by the time it comes around it smells around him. He also doesn't wipe well, no matter how many times I tell him how.

What part of "NO" don't you understand???

Maybe my speech impediment makes it hard to understand me. The answer is "NO".
