Things I swore I would never, ever say to my kids (and then I became a Mother!)

• If you aren't asleep soon, I'm coming in there and spanking your bottom!
• How can you possibly call this room clean?
• Please just stop talking. For five minutes. That's all I'm asking.
• I didn't ask if you wanted to, I told you to clean off the table/pick up the legos/go feed the dogs......
• Really? That's how you are going to do your hair for school?
• I embarrassed you? Well, then, my work here is done!
• You can eat it or not eat it, but this is what we are having for supper.
• When you get a job, you can have all the (insert toy/food here) you want. But I don't have any money for that today.
• Yeah, well, LIFE'S not fair! Get used to it.
• I don't care that your friends get to. If it's that important to you, maybe you should live there.
• Yes, you can (insert activity here). As soon as you get your room cleaned up.
• Because I'm mean and evil through and through.
• Also? Because I said so!

Now it's your turn. What did I leave out?
