67 Weirdest Things (Real!) Moms Have Said to Their Kids
Your parental fantasies and realities rarely ever match up. I think this truth came crashing down the moment our toddler had asked “why” for the millionth time and I uttered, “Because I said so!” So many of the cliché parenting phrases have passed my lips over the years that I have lost count. What sticks out more in my memory are all of the times I have had to scold/interject/stop our children from doing completely asinine things, and I think to myself, “did I just say that?”
“Did you just poop on the carpet?” “No, no…we do not rub our nudie booties on our sister’s bed!” “You cannot climb to the top of the pantry! Yes, I know the candy is up there!”
I find comfort in the fact that I am not alone in uttering these crazy phrases in an attempt to teach our children how to one day be civilized human beings who understand boundaries and basic human decency. But in the meantime, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite (true) statements from fellow mothers. Read on for serious laughs:
