As A Parent, What I'm Really Saying When I Say .........................

[nothing2lose]

Does yours do it with hand on hip too?

You'd better believe it girlfriend....

The main problem is there can't be two people in the house who know everything and I was here first

[peanutter]

"DS, please come back" means "please pretend to be deaf or too young to understand, and go wherever you'd like until I catch up to you."

"DS, have you done a wee/poo?" means "please say either yes, no, or banana - and pretty please ensure that your response has no correlation whatsoever to the state of your nappy."

[Astrid]

Here it is quite simple. What ever I say, they just make up the opposite. DD2 literally does that.

I say "NO" and she wanders to the other room stating "Mum said YES"

[Nai]

When I say " no" it really means say " please please please" over and over again in your most annoying whingy voice.

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Please stop pushing your sister. Let her jump in her jolly jumper while I cut up the vegies for tea. = Swing her as hard and high as a can so she goes airborn straight into the door frame requiring a trip to the hospital.

Big hugs.

Omg! Hope she's ok!

"Isaac, can you stop and listen please?" Means "ignore me, I have nothing important to say"
"please don't climb the stairs, it's dangerous" Means "quick, climb the stairs! It's fun!"
"time for dinner, come sit at the table please" means "run away"
"time to change your nappy" means "run away"
"can you put your shoes on please?" Means "run away"

actually, most things mean "run away"...

[Mother Goose]

put you uniform on = dance around your room singing in your undies
come inside and have a shower please = continue to play outside and ignore me

[Doing my best]

DS / DD please stop running in the house before you get hurt = keep running then go screaming to mummy when I fall over and hit my head/knee/foot/arm...

DS / DD if you insist on running in the house, pick up toys first = leave toys lying on the floor and fall over them and go screaming to Mummy when hurt..

Hurry up, we are running late = go in bedroom and decide you don't like that outfit and put another one on

[Mum2twoBoys]

Cranky kitten - here here

they think by saying please they can have anything they want lol.

[TeniBear]

When I say " no" it really means say " please please please" over and over again in your most annoying whingy voice.

I still do that to my mum

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

DD2 Please stop screaming at the top of your lungs = no really, please, lets see how loud you can go cause my ears are invincible after all

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Can you please leave your clothes on = rip off all of your clothes and run outside on the patio

Lets get ready for swimming = hide upstairs & giggle until mummy is so angry she threatens with NO SWIMMING.

[xXHopeXx]

Lie down and go to sleep = get back up and start playing with your bed until your overtired and end up screaming until you sleep, no matter what I do.

Let's have some dinner/lunch/breakfast = whinge and whinge because you're hungry, but refuse anything I give you to eat.

Stop doing that/Stop touching that = keep touching that until mummy gets cranky and comes to get it off you, then just before I get there, leave it alone and have a whinge.

Dont stand up in the bath = stand up in the bath and walk around!!

Don't play with that = play with that

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Ohhhhhh xXHopeXx you reminded me.

Don't walk/run around in the shower, you want to be big girls fine but have a shower properly = run around, open and shut the door, jump, slip and smack your back on the door frame

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Yeah shes ok... She started to pass out abit about 30 seconds after it happened and ended up with a big lump/bruise on her forehead and a concussion. UGH.


Come inside now, I am going to dish up dinner. = Scream so the neighbours think Im murdering you.

Eat your breakfast please = Throw it in the bin and go help yourself to a chocolate biscuit.
