I repeat myself All. Day. Long. I try not to yell (try, still working really hard at it), but I swear the kids tune me out unless I say something about chocolate or television. I compiled a list of the things that I have to endlessly repeat on the daily. It amazing me kids have a vocabulary that does not only consist of these words. If you are a parent then this list is all too familiar, and if you are thinking about having kids in your future, try saying these phrases 3542 times in one day and if you make, then I would say you’re ready.
Did you poop?
Stop crying.
No crying.
Why are you crying?
Do you have to pee?
Do you need a timeout?
Take a bite!
Boys I will take it away!
No spitting!
No hitting!
Did you use soap?
Can you share?
Can you trade?
Can he have it?
Say you’re sorry.
Are you listening to me?
If you do that one more time…
Go Pee!
Calm down.
Slow down.
Sit down.
Come down!
What’s on your repeat mode?
Same here, my friend. All I say is:
1. Lower your voice.
2. Stop antagonizing your brother.
3. Are you sure you don’t have to pee?
4. Did you forget to say excuse me?
5. Stop fighting.
6. That’s it – you’re going to bed early.
It never ends…..

My mom used to say something like that all the time “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.”
1. Don’t roll your eyes at me!
2. Are you done with that lesson?
3. Concentrate more on school work, less on your Spotify playlist.
4. You are 13, you can stop asking me to go to the bathroom.
5. Did you brush your teeth?
Every single day it’s the same questions…I do love motherhood but sometimes, I feel like recording my voice and just hitting play while I go back to bed….lol

I completely forgot about the nagging that happens for brushing.. good one!
LOL Yep, brushing and as puberty hit a few years ago now (thank you so much mother nature) it’s also “Did you wash your face”? “Really”? “Are you sure”?

The boys are already up to these antics of saying they did it when they didn’t, especially washing their hands.
