"No Thank you"
"Please don't do that"
"No running"
"Inside voices, Keylee is sleeping"
And so many more it is ridiculous...
And the reaction I get is okay mama.
And then they are right back to the thing I just commented on..
BUT if Mitch is home and says No or don't do that both girls will listen the first time..
WHY?!
Am I not scary enough!?
Is it that I am vertically challenged?!
Is it that they see me 24/7?!
Do they not understand mommy language but they do daddy language?!
I am lost.
I am confused.
I am white flagging it... For the moment.
By tomorrow I will have a way they will listen the first time..
Blow horn...
Whistle....
Shock collar?! (KIDDING!)
I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!
(by eliminating the blow horn, whistle and of course shock collar ideas... I think that is a good start..)
OH DEAR! The only way I ever got YOU to listen was to LOWER MY VOICE (not to a whisper, but but LOWER as in the DAD Voice). I have used whisper voice too though.
