Some of the harmless things we say in a moment of ‘Mom Madness’ when your ’gorgeous’ offspring push you to the edge. I always thought I would be a cool calm and collected parent but I find myself saying these things a few times a week (in just a slightly raised voice);

Eat your vegetables

Stand up straight

No, you can’t have chocolate for breakfast

I didn’t hear the magic word

I don’t care who started it

I know the pasta was good but please don’t lick the plate

Take the cat off your head

What part of NO don’t you understand?

Clean up before your Dad gets home

What can I say, life is not fair!

Because I said so, that’s why!

Your hands are not broken

I have eyes in the back of my head

Don’t ride your bike in the house

Your bed is not going to make itself

Be grateful for what we do for you

Feet off the walls please

Anymore you can think of? What have you said again and again…
