In the car on the way to the shop after school The 4 year old is singing along to Lady Gaga on the radio.
I say singing along, more mumbling then inserting the phrase ‘Poker face’ as and when.
3 year old directed towards the 4 year old – Shhhhhh
4 year old – No you shhhhhh, I am singing
Me – Both of you, stop it, it’s rude to shhhhhh someone
3 year old – I don’t like her singing, shhhhhh
Me – Well tough and stop shhhhhhing your sister, it’s rude
4 year old stops singing and 3 year old starts talking to his wooden alligator (a gift from my parent’s trip to Cyprus)
4 year old directed to her brother– Shhhhhh
Then a full blown argument ensues at which point I turn to them and say
Me – Will you both just SHHHHHH
Do as I say not as I do?

LOL Sounds like something i was do .
I think you were very polite. I would have said something far worse, several things in fact!
Yup, I’m with EM – ‘shhhh’ sounds darn polite to me….
The deadliest insult in our house is ‘you’re turning into your mother’….!!
I aimagine that when she turns 5 next week we’ll crank it up a notch. I’ll be turning round in the car and saying ‘Shurrup mofos’
You must have been in my car this morning, although I wasn’t just so polite!
Hope my girls didn’t go into school and tell the teacher, “my Mum said, !*!* in the car”
I often find myself sounding like my Mum these days too.
Tsk…don’t you know your supposed to lead by example hahaha, i do the same!
Hilarious! We’re all turning into our mothers!!
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Hello,
Ok, I’ve found you again.
As for Leeds, I lived in Roundhay at 7 Oakwood Ave. It was a shared house, but I had the top floor to myself for most of the time.
Ok, back to work.
Take care.

I feel a ‘because I said so’ brewing.
