Who’s the Real Parent Here?
Another edition of “Kids Say”
I guess my son is a great observer because he’s done a good job observing me parenting. He practiced on me a few times yesterday.
I was in a rush when I was emptying the dishwasher so I put the last large cereal bowl on top of the small one. Normally, the small bowls are obviously on top of the large ones.
Jeffrey: (getting a bowl of cereal) Who put the big bowl on top of the small bowl?
Me: I did. I was in a rush when I was emptying the dishwasher.
Jeffrey: MaaaaaaMaaaa, It would have taken 2 extra seconds.
How could I argue that one.
Around two in the afternoon
Jeffrey: Aren’t you going to work out today.
Me: Not today, I’m a little tired.
Jeffrey: You didn’t work out yesterday. Play the Wii Fit so you could work out.
Me: I have a lot of things to do today. I’ll work out tomorrow.
Jeffrey: When I’m tired, I still have to pick up my toys so you need to work out.
I was on the phone with the Director of Eastern Canada where I work. He was the first person from work that I spoke to since I started my year long maternity leave 6 months ago. Tyler woke up and was cooing and making it known that he was awake. Since he wasn’t crying, I left him in his crib to finish my phone conversation.
Jeffrey: Mama, Tyler is awake
Me: (just motioning with my hand for him to be quiet)
Jeffrey: ( 2 min. later) Mama, Tyler is awake
Me: Yes I know sweety but I’m on the phone so I’ll get him soon.
Jeffrey: Mama, who’s more important, the phone or your baby?
He’s only four now, but I know I’ll be in for a whole lot of debates.
Wow, he’s clearly advanced for his age. Way to go Jeffrey!

Honestly, I just HATE that. Children have no right to repeat what we tell them back to us. Gheezsh. Do they think we’re hypocrites or something?

He sure has grown up by the sounds of it, sounds like he is already 7 or 8 years old.
Us parents need to be careful as kids pick up on things very quickly, you can’t do it one way and then do it another.
Glad to hear Jeffrey is keeping you on your toes.
