One of the worst things about being a mom is the repetition of really, really, really, boring things
if you aren’t careful they can make you really, really, really boring
(Sometimes I worry these frequently said phrases might end up on my tombstone)
empty your lunch bag
clean your room
eat your veggies
don’t roll your eyes at me or I will pluck them out with this fork
we are going to be late
brush your hair
get in that shower
don’t be lazy
don’t be grumpy
get out of the shower
let’s go
sit up straight
how are you feeling, you know, about ‘everything’ ?
those are leggings not pants
that ‘shirt’ is nice but it is not in lieu of a dress
that is not clean
it is a dagger to my heart the way you left the kitchen last night
but the one that I really got behind was
are you wearing your retainer
because if you aren’t I will personally pull $40 out of your bank account every week until we reach a maximum of $15,000 or the orthodenture bill I paid, whatever comes first

Here’s my number one nag:
‘STOP FIGHTING WITH YOUR SISTER!!!!!’
Jen says
Get off the computer or turn off the TV and go outside. As of tomorrow I will also be reminding/nagging about the retainer!
Alanna says
Let’s go is my #1 followed by no, it’s time for bed.
Sara says

get your hands out of your pants….that’s my number 1
Nancy says
EXACTLY jules- I would kill someone if I had to double down for their straight smiles!!!
Julie says
i had a friend who refused to wear her retainer after she was done with braces…so she ended up with braces for another 2 years. i couldn’t imagine, now being a parent, having to pay for it 2x!!!
Chantel says

Tracey says
