crazy

I recently read that parents are not supposed to tell kids things like "you are driving me crazy."

WHAAAAAAT?

I would just like to know who the goody-two-shoes was that came up with that decision...and give 'em a good thump between the eyes. UNFAIR!

Finally...I was going to be on the giving end of that statement rather than the receiving end...and now it's ripped out of my hands...torn from my arsenal of mama comebacks...

and it's driving me crazy.

Does the author of that 'piece of advice' actually have kids????

Jenna said...

How about "you're making me bananas"? Is that acceptable? Or "you're fraying my thin thread to sanity"? Or "Calgon, take me away"?

Just asking.

My big one I say is "good grief" I guess that would be off limits too. You know Tish, it is all about our children's self esteem. Isn't it one of the fruits of the Spirit? ha! ; ) love ya!

i would just like to say that i am quite certain that our mother said stuff like us to that from time to time, perhaps even worse & i'd say we turned out ok? dont you think?

wow, everyone else was so clever that i'm kinda at a loss!

i have to admit *pre-kid* i heard a mother say that to her son and i thought it was so sad!!! i thought i would NEVER say anything so cruel! ha ha! but now i'll admit, have uttered the words myself from time to time!

very funny post, tish!
