As I’ve mentioned before, I run a tight ship here at the Mamma Talk humble abode. I govern with a firm hand, an iron fist and with nerves of steel.
“OK, kid. Stop screaming…. I’ll give ya a cookie?”
I believe in order and structure.
“Just shove it all under the bed, will ya? They’re gonna be here any minute!”
Discipline is the backbone of our family.
“Wanna another cookie?”
Rules and regulations steer this household.
“No eating in the car…. Yeah, we’ll take a couple Happy Meals to go and….”
Consistency and follow through are my mantra.
“And, I’m not going to tell you again….OK. This is the last time I’m going to tell you….Did you hear me? For the last time!”
Yep. There’s just no fooling around here at my house.
“So, how do you feel about a lollipop?”
Hey. Whatever gets you through your Mamma Day. Yep, and sometimes a little sprinkled exaggeration helps me through mine.
“STOP screaming! !!! Ice cream, anyone?”
And, I got all teary eyed over this Mammatalk review by Crafting with Rinos here. Be a pal. Go pay her a visit.

This doesn't resemble the Jubilant household at all.
A-hem.
There have been moments..........:D
Haha! Food is always the cure!
Your house is magic, pure magic.
Oh this is great. I think we had a sweet treat after lunch today. I say yes to ice cream...
I agree with Rhino's review. You always crack me up too! I love your stories. Short, sweet, and they always hit close to home. I rule my household with an iron fist too (*cough*snort*). Why, just the other day, hubby told the kids "stop or your Mother will punish you severely..."and then he walked away laughing..... You could feel the fear..NOT!
Oh yes we live be rules and regulations here... except any time I need to avoid a meltdown. Like every two minutes.
Each day brings its unique moments...STAY TOUGH!! Give em another cookie! (If it has a raisen in it...it could be HEALTH FOOD!)
Have you been watching me?! This sounds like some of the days in our house!
I must admit that's my style with the Babies...
That is me! meanest mom in town....but I've always got gum, Popsicles and lolli pops within arms reach... you were so talking about me in this post!!! LOL
I like to pretend otherwise, but I definitely have those days.
I think I need a cookie now...and maybe some ice cream.
in my house, it's more like... "one for you, one for me." gotta keep the bribes one-sided... or mama's going to outgrow all her clothes! lol! this was cute. we all have those days, don't we?
Nothing beats a firm...er...hand? Especially the kind of firm hand that you're taking about.
Yes, I'd like some ice cream and a lollipop, they'll both come in handy at my house.
Hee hee. One reason why P still uses her "babu" (paci) at night and maybe, just maybe sometimes during the day - business meetings.
Yep - great Mama!
(Yes, I was referring to the Love Language book series - great stuff)
I'm still twirling around from the SITS day screaming, "They like me, they really like me!"
Hey, that's why they make all that stuff...cookies, ice cream, lollipops...right?! You wouldn't want to waste all that precious manufacturing!
Life...EXAGGERATED
Oh honey, I feel right at home! Glad to see my brand of consistency is a world-wide phenomenon!!
:-)

Whatever works!
Food is gold in our house;)
hahahahahahaha
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds -- Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Yeah...I don't say or do any of those things...ever...well, maybe only 40x daily, but that's not much, right?
Ha! Sounds like the way I govern the household! Glad to know I'm not alone in my Happy Meal/car-eating ventures! LOL
