Did I just say that to my child?

Posted on December 15, 2012 by ParentingIsFunny

After she received a Rapunzel wig as a gift, I found myself saying to my daughter, “Avery, you have to put away your hair now.” –Heather, mother of 2

My three-year-old son has an unusually long tongue. When we were driving home from church one day, I looked in the rear view mirror then said, “Carter! Get your tongue out of your nose!” –Ryan, father of 3

I said to one of my kids, “No fudge until you finish your doughnut!” Just call me Super Nutrition Mom! -Leslie, mother of 4

How about: “Stop licking the snail.” or “Don’t chew on that book.” or “Climb down out of the fridge.”

  I’m guessing you said those to your kids? Good ones!

    My son likes company while he is on the toliet. He has his little sisters lined up along the tub. One day I heard myself yell, “Outta the bathroom! Pooping is not a team sport!”

I’ve had “You can’t have an apple until you finish your donut!” before. We try to encourage them to finish whatever they’re eating prior to starting something new and Gramma’s surprise Timbits weren’t cutting it apparently…

  Oh my gosh! They must be spoiled from getting Timbits all the time, then. I LOVED Timbits in college–the only time I’ve ever gotten any here in the States. Ah, your poor, lucky, jaded children. 😉

    Hahaha 🙂 they do love them, but we don’t eat a lot of sweets normally so they often find them overwhelming when Gramma would bring them over. She hasn’t done it in a while actually, I think she got tired of seeing a bunch of them just sit in the box uneaten! :O

Oh, so funny. I wish I’d bought my little daughter a Rapunzel wig.
