Me: Please stop hitting the cat with your sock

Child 2: hits cat with sock

Me: WHAT did I just say??

I think I have those conversations with my kids about 500 times a day.

except that mine is couched in lots of ABA talk to cover the fact that i am ready to cut a bitch.

"is that a good choice or a bad choice?" Who the fuck am i, Belinda the witch of the north?

"that makes me sad" --no, that makes me want to drink, heavily?

My favorite is when I am telling the younger son to stop something he's doing, immediately, to avoid injury or damage to personal property.
"Stop. Stop! STOP!"
"Mooom! (insert some variation of the injury theme here)"
"What did I just tell you to do?"
"You told me to stop."
You would think that he would have made the connection by now...

Every god damned day. Actually, multiple times a day. He will WATCH me to see if I'm watching, and then do it. I guess to see what I'll do. Usually, my head explodes.

Is it bad that I have this conversation more with my HUSBAND than with my DAUGHTER?

You mean this isn't what parenting is? I figured this is what it's all about. Telling your kids the same shit every day, and just hoping some day it sinks in.

Mine goes like this, though:

Mom: Ted, did you shit your pants again?
Ted: Umm, yeah!
Mom: Where does the poop belong?
Ted: Umm, in the toilet.
Mom: And if you have to poop, what should you do?
Ted: Umm, out it in the potty!
Mom: so why did you poop your pants?!
Ted: Umm...Why?

AARRGHHHHH!!!

I have similar conversations usually daily. They're genrally a lot louder when it's Jacob's turn to speak. But if we look on the bright side, at least our kids are honest.

Srsly, youngling 2, Yoshi wouldn't want this. You shouldn't spit on his grave like that, even if his grave happens to be the back of a minivan where you already happen to spit a lot anyway. =/

My favorite is when the Boy says, "That's awright mommy. I not get hurt."

Until the cat claws him in the face. And laughs.

Me: Got your bookbag baby?
7yr old girl: "Yes, daddy."
Me: "My phone's ringing, but I'm driving, can you answer it?"
7 yr old girl: "Yes. Hey mommy. Ok, I'll tell him." - "Mommy said you left my bookbag"
Me: "I need pills"

Yep...usually followed by "But Mom, I'm tired"

WTF does THAT have to do with anything. I think that must work at her father's house. Its her standard response to ANYTHING she doesn't want to do or rule she wants to follow (and she's only 3...geh)

My conversations with my son are more like,
Me: don't look in my drawers.
Him: but you hide things
me: yes because they're mine, not yours
Him: but I want them
Me: don't go in my room
Him: but you have things I want them
Me: stay out of my room

Instead of a response to the affirmative, I get the ubiquitous "huh?" So, I guess you can count yourself lucky in that respect!

Me: "Little Miss, please don't touch that."
LM: "huh?"
Me: "I said please don't touch that."
LM (picking up thing she was told not to touch) "huh?"
Me: " I said.... arrrrgh..."

5 year old swears. "Did you just say a bad word?" "NO!" (two minutes pass) " S*#%" "What did I just say?! Do you want your mouth washed out?" "I WILL NOT SAY IT..." You know the next part...
