umsami Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 LOL :D If you've been online for more than one hour today, no more screen time, you'll have to watch this tomorrow. ;) If you haven't made your bed, go make it! Do your work before you have free-time on the computer. Wow, your keyboarding skills are getting better. I'm so proud of you, sweetheart. :) Don't you think you should really go read a book? Maybe in Latin or something? 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 You know, I think I've had almost that exact conversation with my kids. But without the wine. (But with a lot more whine.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammi K Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Funny, I guess. But, I can't relate to talking to my kids like that - at least not after they were tiny toddlers. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Funny, I guess. But, I can't relate to talking to my kids like that - at least not after they were tiny toddlers. Me neither. I have done the countdown thing and told them to stop interrupting, but not in that stereotypical "mom" tone. But I also never did baby talk so what do I know? It was funny though! :laugh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I think it mostly does apply to talking to little littles. I absolutely love the shirt part and how it had a pocket and could she put her hand in the pocket. Little kids must think adults are so weird! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 At my kids ages the equivalent would be something like: "Nancy, we are looking forward to our family get-together this afternoon! Have you thought about all the things you need to get done before we sit down for a cup of tea? What is your plan for getting the laundry moved along, cleaning off the kitchen counter, and finally taking that pile of outgrown clothes to Goodwill? You don't have to tell ME your plan, so long as you have one, okay? Well, tell new what you are going to do first, at least." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 OMG, I seriously doubt I sound like that ever! But on a related note: when one of my SIL's takes a turn interacting with my MIL, she talks to MIL like she's speaking to a toddler. It drives me batty! She has dementia, not age regression. SIL will say, "Well, I see you put on the nice new shirt we got you last week! You just look so niiiiiice! Are you all ready to go out to lunch? It will be nice to get out of the house, won't it?" All sing-song Mary Poppins and I just want to barf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ack! On the other hand it's not like they were putting their shoes on the counter... which is what I last reprimanded kids for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 At my kids ages the equivalent would be something like: "Nancy, we are looking forward to our family get-together this afternoon!

You don't have to tell ME your plan, so long as you have one, okay? Well, tell new what you are going to do first, at least." I'm past the stage in the video, but the above is totally where I am! Especially that last line, "You don't have to tell me....well, tell me at least the first bit." No wonder my 13 year old son looks like he's bitten into a lemon during some of our conversations. I might have to figure out a way to talk to him differently. Maybe...I mean, if he actually DOES come up with a plan, you know? Because mostly he doesn't unless I prod. Le sigh. He's sloooooowly getting better. :) (He's a good kid.) And the video was hilarious. I loved the part with them having the woman put her hand in her pocket. Adults can be so silly around little kids. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocassie Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Got a laugh out of me. Truth is I do actually say of these things to myself, especially about picking up. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I don't think I talk like that (and I would never do the sanitizer thing), but I sometimes speak to my kids in ways adults would never tolerate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
