Lick the bottom of the spoon when feeding yogs whilst out so not to get it everywhere. (my son did this to me the other day when sharing his ice cream, licked the bottom so it didn't drip when he fed me -

Doubling up as a bin. Why kids think they have to pass me all the candy wrappers, empty cups etc. "Muuuuuumm.. can you take this please?" - when out and about?! Still fighting this habit and encouraging either using their own pockets or finding the nearest litter bin.

they do. It's payback for all the times you came back from primary school with a never ending tale about someone she had no clue about

Give the toilet seat a wipe over before sitting on it.

Have coat pockets that are like Mary Poppin’s carpet bag. Sweets, tissue, gloves, poo bags (for the dogs, not the kids), a selection of face masks…etc.

Threaten to cancel Christmas every year from January onwards for bad behaviour.

I carried this on even as they got older, it was a standing joke.

Right up until last year when Christmas cancelled itself!

Ps I didn’t say it once this year!

Tell you dinner is ready when it's actually going to be six more hours.

Brush your hair too hard.

Act like the guests who come to visit are coming with magnifying glasses and a notepad to write down how filthy the house is.

Announce that it's like Blackpool illuminations when you leave a light on.

On a mooch

You get hurt doing something they’ve warned you not to do, following up with the words “will you listen and trust what I say next time”

Of course I will mum, but won’t stop me trying & finding out for myself either

I’m guilty of this with my lad to but he doesn’t get the words just a look, which gets the response “I’ll listen next time”

Aye course you will, just like I did ….. not
