Things you shouldn't really have to say to your young children..

[VulvaPerson]

as they should go without saying!

Inspired by the latest of ours.

'Stop trying to lick inbetween your sisters toes'

From memory, we have also had at different stages 'stop eating each others bogeys', 'no you cannot cut your food with mr potato heads lips' and 'don't try to poke the dogs bum'

I honestly feel like a right weirdo, and wonder what the neighbours would think if they could actually hear me.

Yes, sharing is good but don't share your chewing gum.

Don't wash your toothbrush in the toilet.

Your sister is NOT FOOD!
You cannot take your sister/brother for a walk by the neck
No, my head can’t twist completely around, please let go of me
Oh my God, what have you two done to my sofa?
Yes, I’m not surprised your eyes are hurting, you’ve smeared sudocrem in them and all over the sofa
Stop trying to stab him
Please get the toothbrush out of the toilet
I have no idea how you got up there, but please get down

I have twins. It’s savage.

Please don't wipe your bogeys on my trousers.....🤨 toddlers ey

Please stop licking the front door.
Why are you licking that bus stop?
What are you licking?
Get that cigarette butt out of your mouth!

If you want to walk around naked all the time keep your pants on.

Don’t put hand cream on the shower doors. Stop kissing the windows. Why do you want to sleep on the stairs? You don’t need to wash your hands again. We’ve already watched Baby Shark multiple times and it’s only 8am.

"Don't lick the toilet" and "How did you find the button on the set top box to make the remote make the noise".. surprisingly to the same 1 year old..

It's when you have to frame everything without a 'no' or 'don't' (as a nursery teacher). Adds an extra layer of challenge with how to word it! 'You can lick your snack instead of your friend' is something I never thought I would say.

'You can lick your snack instead of your friend'

I have never tried that framing, I would sound utterly insane I think if I tried with some of the random shite I have to say now!

This morning Dh said 'stop trying to put your wheeto around your finger. No, it won't go on your willy either' Glad I didn't have to do that one.

Please stop licking the windows.
DON'T CHEW THE GLOWSTICK!!!
Why have you painted your brothers hair?
Oh my lord why have you done that?? Said to my youngest aged 2 at the time when I walked into the bathroom to find her stood IN the toilet!!

@Mylittlepony374

Don't put that in your mouth!. (Screeched after 2 year old had swished his toothbrush in his sisters wee in the potty). I was too late.

That made me belly laugh!

To Dd "I'm sorry, but you're not going to grow a willy"

If you want to walk around naked all the time keep your pants on.

But then you wouldn't be naked
