Nothing annoys me more than someone ignoring what I’m saying. Bad enough I’ve got a husband who tones me out, but now I’ve got 2 mini Divas doing the same.
From “Pick up your toys” to “Eat your dinner” to “Stay in bed”…I’ve completely turned into the nagging woman I always despised. Why?
Because my kids dont listen!
Yesterday while cooking dinner, I asked the girls to pick up their toys from the living room floor. They both acted as though I asked them to stop the war in Afghanistan. They were pouting and whining that they didn’t know where the toys went… so instead of asking for help, they decided to pretend they didn’t hear me.
Mommy won’t notice if we keep quiet and lay on the couch right?
WRONG!
I don’t understand how my kids don’t listen to me, but Dora the Freakin Explorer can get them to clap their hands and shake their hips faster than Shakira.
Do your kids ignore you?

I wish my kids would do that. They have developed a bad habit of saying, “No.”

Oh Steph, even boys are the same way! I feel like I’ve turned into a terrible nagger too. It’s so frusrating. I started talking myself thru their bad habits instead of yelling or nagging, but then I just look like I’ve gone crazy

Can’t wait for those teenage years huh?
Maybe you can have them make a special Dora episode just for you. They could make some extra money doing customized episodes. Dora says, “Make your bed.”
