Top Ten Things.....

I used to hear my parents say, that I swore I WOULD NEVER say to my own children, but have some how come to say anyways!

1. "You have to eat that if you want muscles so we can go _____________ (fill the blank with any kind of activity)."

2. "If you don't stop crying I will give you a reason/something to cry about! "Yes, I know how awful is this one!

3." You have until the count of 5 and then _______________(fill in the blank with just about anything)." He may get a time out, he may go to bed.....The list of possibilities is endless.

4. "Go ask your Dad!" This one is really bad I used to hate when I would ask my parents for something and they would continually send me back and forth between them!

5. "We aren't cry babies we don't cry! It didn't hurt that bad now stop crying!" If he is seriously in pain I will console him but really crying over every little bump is ridiculous.

6. "Because I said so!"

7. "If you don't ________(fill in blank with activity) Santa won't bring you any toys for Christmas!"

8. "Don't make me get up!"

9. "If you don't start picking up your toys, I am going to throw them away!"

10. "Because I am your mom and that's why!"
