I read about this particular topic on the 'Mummy's little monkey' blog, @Jax2000 writes about how she feels she has turned into her mother, with all the things she keeps saying to her children.

It made me giggle a lot, and got me thinking about the things I say to my kids, so I had to get involved....
Here are the phrases I find I'm constantly having to repeat to my children on a daily basis. A bit cringy to say the least:
- Ssssshhhhhh
- Could you please be quiet?
- Could you please start listening?
- No means no
- Why do I have to keep repeating myself?
- Sit down
- Leave that alone
- Because I said so
- Who did that?
- Stop crying
- Stop moaning
- Get on the naughty step
- In a minute
- What are you doing?
- Get down here now
- No more
- Give me that please
- Don't do that
- That's enough
- Behave yourself
- Leave her/him alone
- Keep still
- Stop messing about
- Stop that noise
- Stop arguing
- Be careful please
- Love you
- Say your prayers
- Goodnight
I would love to know.

LOL!!! Brilliant! I recognise every single one of those... xx
So funny what motherhood can do to a woman...ha!
I think that I say most of those! I often say 'please be quiet, you will wake up your sister' and 'what do you say?' when my toddler has demanded something without saying 'please'!
Great list! I always seem to be saying 'please be quiet, you'll wake your sister' and 'what do you say?' when I receive a demand without the word 'please'!
Haaaha Jennifer I forgot about those, but yes I say those things on a daily basis too. It's never ending...lol
