    Things you never thought you would have to say as a parent

    After having to call out to my girls 'no diving in the bath'! I was wondering what things other parents have had to say that you would never have imagined saying or ever thought needed to be vocalised

    Another was 'cheese doesn't go in the washing machine'

    Please share your experience

    "You need to work hard at school to be able to do things when you are older."

    For some reason, DS reckons that when he gets to a set age he will just "know" things magically. Learning to read now makes no difference to being able to read as an adult. I'm starting to accept he isn't as clever as I wanted.

    My first ever "I never thought I'd say that" moment was
    "no, thats not an elephant it's broccoli"
