So we've heard what your mum says, but what do YOU repeat to your DC like a stuck record?

[MarineIguana]

Because with me it's

"DS sit on your chair properly please or you'll fall off"
"Sit on your chair properly."
"Sit down properly. On your bum. Now. Sit down please or you will fall off."

DS:

And repeat...

I'm boring myself!

"Put it in the bin. Not near the bin - in the bin."

"Wash your hands. With soap."

"Where did you leave it?"

Oh yes I also do a lot of "Come OOOOOOOOOOOON!"

And "Earth calling DS! DS do you read me, over and out"

In response to 'where is,,,'

Where you left it. I don't play with your toys, why would I know where it is?

just reading all of this makes me feel kids are EXASPERATING!

"What did your last slave die of, overwork?"

"I's not fair? Well life's not fair."

"PACK IT IN, YOU TWO"

boohoo - my mum used to ask that and my response was always "no, answering back"

How I'm still alive I have no idea

Sit down...on your bottom

Repeated so often that it was dd2's first sentence

Put your socks on.

I'm going to count to 10 and the Wii is going off.

Get off him.

I don't want to have to tell you again (x3).

l39

I say ALL of them. But to my huband, not my DD.

DD don't swing DS (9mths) round he's just been fed......... cue puke!

DD will you hurry up (she took 20mins the other morning to put one sock on

I'm your mum not xxxxx's mum

Have you brushed your teeth?
(no but the makeups on and the hairs done)

I too find myself very boring - and utter ffs in my head constantly

For crying out loud (now repeated back to me)

I'm not a waitress

This is not a cafe

Move BACK from the screen (new wii)

Have you cleaned your teeth?

CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!

I find myself crashingly boring as well!

School morning:-
To DD2 - Have you brushed your teeth? about 20 times (no exaggeration)
Just get in the car.
I'm not going to say it again (apparently I am)
To DD1 - Don't forget to give that note into the teacher.

After school:-
To DD1 - Did you give that note in?
To DD1 - what is in your schoolbag - is it 'take a boulder home' day?

Bedtime:-
To DD2 - Have you brushed your teeth yet?
To DD1 - FGS just go to sleep!!!!!

Loads more but I'm beginning to bore myself now.

will you stop telling tales
Have you got your coat/shoes/bag?
where's your coat/shoes/bag/?
will you get in the BLOODY CAR
I'm going to give you 5 seconds to get upstairs and do your homework or there'll be be no football/computer/wii
Have you fed the hamster? If not, why not?
Christ!, I can think of hundreds!

Did you wipe your bum?
Did you flush the loo?
Did you wash your hands?
Go and wash your hands please.
Go and wash your hands.
Go and wash your hands now.
I'm counting to 3 and if you're not in that bathroom I'm

Will you take that out of your arse Now. Wipe wipes do not make good tails!... I said now and i meant NOW!

wet wipes

ENOUGH! I SAID ENOUGH!
(at dss bickering / fighting)

so, most of the things our mums said to us then!!!

Chaos, I roffled at that one! Ew.

Where are your shoes?

Don't touch it!

Get DOWN! (I can tell when DS is climbing something forbiden because he shouts this at himself while doing it.)

Your room is disgusting! (To DD)

For crying out loud! (Grumpy, also repeated to me by 2yo)

(exasperated) Do you want to watch television?

MarineIguana, little boys are truely disgusting. there is an earlier one about creatures in pockets too.

DS2 told me today I say 'sodding' alot, which I didn't realise, as in 'look at that car in the middle of the sodding road'.

He promises not to tell his teacher

Noticed another one -
"Stop chasing the cat or she will get upset and do a wee"
"Don't chase the cat"
"Leave the cat ALONE"
"STOP CHASING THE BLARDY CAT RIGHT NOW"

Maybe all this nagging and yapping on for 20 years and not being listened to addles our brains, and then we emerge as the bonkers, irrelevance-wittering mums from the other thread...

i do the...
'i'm going to count to four... one...two...three...three and a half..... three and three quaters....(usually dh interupts, from another room, at this point 'why don't you just say FOUR... you never get to four...etc)I like to kid myself that it is useful to teach them about fractions .
