DAD-Chronicals : Top 10 - Parental-swearing-tirades
Top 10 - Parental-swearing-tirades
"I've said that a thousand times already" - that's a feeling parents know only too well. Again and again you have to remind the offspring to brush their teeth, tidy up the room in the supermarket to take anything from the shelves or not at the table with the chair to tilt.
Then parents repeat the same prompts 10, 20, 100, or 1000 times. Passers-by may then experience how annoyed parents in supermarkets, on playgrounds or in the pedestrian zone suddenly stung their offspring. Some already speak of "parent Tourette". Here are my Top 10 with the "most beautiful" parents-shameless phrases.
10 Do not put that in your mouth.
9 Now do not interrupt me constantly!
8 You do not say that.
7 Come on now, or we'll go without you!
6 If you step against it again, then ...
5 Finally eat what's on your plate.
4 How many times have I said ... ..
3 Leave your sister / brother alone.
2 Do not touch, I said.
1 Finally clear your room.
I´m looking forward to your experiences and additions.

Looool you've got it spot on. With the exception of 9 and 6 it holds very true for us and our parents while growing up.
You also forgot 'it's past your bedtime'
children learn by the example given by their parents and the consequence of their actions, not listening again and again the same. I would like you to take a look at my latest publication
