Sometimes I'm not sure if I am really talking to my kids, or if their ears are just flapped over and they cannot hear me. I have to say things 3 or 4 times until they even acknowledge that I am talking to them. Another 5 or 6 times until they actually hear what I am saying to them. Another 2 hours until they finally do what I've been asking them to do! I feel like all I do is repeat myself, the same phrases over and over. I am so sick of saying these things...
- Get your finger out of your nose!
- Get your finger out of your sister's nose!
- What button did you push?
- How did you get your finger stuck in there?
- Where is your brother?
- Don't eat that!
- Please eat!
- Get off the cat!
- Get off your head!
- Get off your sister's head!
- Don't spit that out!
- Spit that out right now!
- Pick that up!
- Don't you dare pick that up!
- Don't put that on your head!
- Get out of the trash!
- Don't do that!
- Will you just do it!
- What is your name?
- How old are you?
- Don't put that in your pants!
- Please stop talking!
All of these phrases are used at least once a day, usually by 10am each morning. After I say each of these things, no matter to which child, it it followed up with a "Why Mom?"
Welcome to my day. :)
I love reading your blog. I've always told you, that someday you would have kids just like yourself! Lots of laughs. Enjoy!
