If I had a £ for every time I've said.....

[Triggles]

• sit up
• sit down (sounds a bit conflicting, eh? )
• stop shouting
• don't hit your brother
• stop taking toys from your brother
• stop screaming
• stop jumping on the furniture
• stop climbing
• eat your food
• sit still
• listen to me
• stop asking me that

..... ........

I'd be very very rich.
Is it possible to have a meter installed for this?

You are not alone triggles

I have often said "I could live for another 10 years on the amount of breath I have wasted saying the same things over and over again over the years"

Get your hands out of your pants
Sit on your bottom, not your head
Don't pick at the walls
Stop standing on things
Stop crashing into things
Keep your mouth to yourself
Wash your hands properly
Rinse your hands properly
Dry your hands properly
Carry your megasketcher by the handle, not the pen
Stop kicking the cushions onto the floor
Stop picking at that scab
Stop bending your glasses....

I do get sick of my own voice.

OMG ouryve - how could I have forgotten all those?!?!? You've obviousy been listening at our windows!!

The "get your hands out of your pants" is almost as frequent as "get your fingers out of your nose."

"Get you hands out of your pants" said regularly here too plus
Stop crashing things
Stop breaking things
Please try to go in a straight line
Please don't bump into that man / lady / child / postbox / lampost / wall
STOP!!!!! NOW!!!!
Stop bashing on the windows
Stop squeaking
Stop licking that

Eat...eat...eat....please, can you just eat your dinner

So many familiar ones ...

Stop shouting, it's the middle of the night

it's not too spiky

So, so funny, Coff33pot you made me laugh so much with the first sock, second sock, first shoe etc
I might as well record myself and just press play at the beginning of the day.

Take it out of your mouth
take it out of your mouth
take it out of your mouth
repeat ad infinitum

I don't care. Just put it in your mouth and eat it,- all of it,- NOW!

Little voice please
Can you sit down please?
Put it down!
Leave the cat alone
Don't eat the tissue

at all these!

I'd list mine but they are all already here!

Ds's TA goes to bed saying "leave the light switches alone!" (thinking of the lights going out as the ofstead bods go round school today.

Me - Samuel L Jackson says it wonderfully - "go the f$$% to sleep!"
"language!"
"speak English cos I don't talk potty mouth".
"My bed is NOT a trampoline"

"Please stop repeating!"

[said repeatedly]

at Don't eat the tissue, TA has just realised where all the tissues have been going.

See that's where you are all going wrong. Never tell them 'don't' always tell them 'do!' As in 'feet on the floor' 'hands in your lap,' 'quiet voice.'

But why doesn't it ever work? Aaaaarghhh.

There's just something horribly wrong about having to say to your child in a calm voice "Don't pour milk on your brother, he's not a breakfast cereal."

Some days it's like Alice through the looking glass here.

My head is not a drum.

Indoor voice please
