These are just a few of the things that I can recollect saying to the kids. I remember being a kid, like everyone else, and saying, "I'll never say or do the things that my parents do to me." Boy, was I wrong. I think I may throw a few things in there they didn't say to me. Here are just a few.....
- All I do is follow you around, picking up after you like some maid.
- Are you deaf or something?
- As long as you live under my roof, you'll do as I say
- Beds are NOT made for jumping on.
- Close the door! You don't live in a barn
- Did you brush your teeth?
- Did you comb your hair?
- Don't make me get up!
Don't pick that scab, it'll get infected.
Don't pick your nose in public - .Don't run in the house.
- Don't sit too close to the television, it'll ruin your eyes.
- Don't talk with your mouth full!
- Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!
- Go play outside! It's a beautiful day
- How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tasted it?
- I didn't ask who put it there, I said "Pick it up!"
- I don't have to explain myself. I said no
- I just want what's best for you.
- I will always love you - no matter what.
- If it were a snake, it would have bitten you.
- Look at me when I'm talking to you.
- Pick that up before somebody trips on it and breaks their neck!
- Put that down! You don't know where it's been!
- Someone is going to end up crying
- Who taught you THAT? You didn't learn that in this house!
- You can't find it? Well, if you'd put things where they belonged, you wouldn't have this problem.
- You kids are trying to drive me crazy!
- You're the oldest. You should know better
- You're going to put your eye out with that thing!
Your father is going to hear about this when HE gets home! - You WILL eat it, and you WILL like it!
- You just ate an hour ago!
- You can go out to play...after you've done your school work.
- You can go out to play...after you pick up your room.
- Why? Because I SAID so, that's why!
You are getting on my last nerve. - When I was your age...
- Think of those poor starving children in Africa... (or China.)
- Now, say you're sorry...and MEAN it!
- Look at this room! It looks like a pigsty!
- Leave your sister (brother) alone!
- I'm going to give you until the count of three...
- I don't know is NOT an answer
- I don't care who started it, I said stop
- Don't run with a lollipop in your mouth.
I hope all you Mother's have a relaxing and wonderful Mother's Day!
