I admit it. I am a bit of a micromanager. I bark directions and yelp orders all day long. I am bossy and controlling. I just never let anyone up for air.
“Get up. Get dressed. Drink your milk. Brush your teeth. Out the door. In the car. Buckle up. Don’t yell. Don’t run. Say hello. Please share. Don’t hit. Please be nice. Eat your snack. Wipe your mouth. Say goodbye. Wash your hands. Eat your lunch. Close your mouth. Clean up. Play nice. Share your things. Take a rest. Time to eat. Sit down. Eat your peas. Drink your juice. No dessert. Did ya wipe? Don’t whine. Mind your manners. No TV. Take a bath. Don’t splash. In your jammies. Brush your teeth. Say your prayers. Kiss goodnight. Turn off the light. Go to sleep. Sweet dreams.”
And, then, I turn my wrath on hubby.
“Remote, please. Rub my feet. Not now. Go to sleep.”

Haha.
LOVE it!!
Especially the hubby part :)
Micromanage, now I like that alot better than being called bossy or mean:)
Lol!
LOL Love it! The hubby part is priceless!
LOL!!!!!!! hahahahaha! that is so perfectly perfect!
Do you have my house bugged? That is the same convo that goes on in my house EVERY DAY!
I thought every mother of a toddler sounded like this?
At least it isn't just me.
Yep, you are so right. I just get SO sick of me sometimes.Doesn't seem to faze the Hub though.....*wink* xx♥
LOVE IT!!!!!!
Now, I am curious to know HOW MANY words, like that, come out of our mouths every day!!!
Would you count and let me know?
I'm just plain mean. Not going to wrap it up in nice big words. ;D
Oh we all need a day like that.
"Did you wipe?" Hahaha. Ah, the joys of motherhood.
Well, husbands are just bigger kids:)
Ha! I am a micromanager too. At the end of the day, just for everyone's safety, I go to bed. :)
Hehe sounds just like me ;)
LOL
Sounds about like my house.
The 5 year old tells me "Your so Bossy" "You can be so mean Mommy." I tell her its my job.
I was wondering out loud today at how bossy my two-year old is. My 11 year old informed me that she comes by it honestly (with a sweet smile).
Very funny (and true for so many of us).
LOL! I must say that the micromanaging aspect of parenting gets better not worse as they grow up. :)
LOL! So true! Sometimes I feel like I just repeat that kind of stuff all day!
:) Me too. But usually to my hubby it's "Please put the dishes IN the dishwasher. Please take a turn brushing P's teeth. Please throw those socks in the laundry." Please stops working so it's "Take out the trash. Fold these clothes. Let me run. Not now."
THanks for the daily chuckle :)
Completely and totally me too!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA is that what it's called? Micromanage-- sure, that's what I've done for like 16 years now:) My teens told me this week that I talk too loud. Excuse me? Maybe if anyone ever listened to me I could actually talk in a normal volume!
Guess I'm a micromanager too!
Be careful - you know how the Bitch Parade feels about Kate Gosselin.
i soooooo know what you mean!!! but it feels oddly wonderful to know that someone else feels and is the same way :)
I know right? I have to consciously tell myself "Hubby is an adult and KNOWS things. Don't dictate to him." I really (on a serious note) think that was some of the reason Jon and Kate (sick of talking about them, but what else am I supposed to do?) didn't work out. She talked to him like one of the kids instead of on an adult level. Just an outsiders opinion.
My best, Lynn
