Take a look at the top ten most annoying habits and how many are you guilty of?!
1. Using a ‘cutesy’ voice - Done! I still do it now and mine are 5 & 10!
2. Baby-related status updates on Facebook - Yep!! I always post about my girls...Don't think I'd have much to say without them...
3. Putting babies on the phone - I don't think I ever did when mine were babies...
4. Not disciplining children when unruly in public - My girls get disciplined where ever we are....If I didn't they would think they could get away with anything all the time...
5. Swearing in front of children - I have but really try not to...This annoys me if people swear in front of my children!
6. Blaming their children for not going out any more - I don't blame them...I chose to have them!! It's part of being a parent...
7. Parents who constantly say how ‘perfect’ their child is - This annoys me...Nobody is perfect!!
8. Criticising other parents’ children - I try not to....I criticise other people's parenting for making the children the way they are....
9. Matching outfit between father/son or mum/daughter - No! NO! No! It's just wrong....I think it is anyway!!
10. Using their children as an excuse to be unsociable - No I never have used my girls as an excuse to get out of an social event....
I'm glad about the matching outfits thing! It is indeed just wrong.
ReplyDeleteHowever....I have friend who on the school run often used to point out to me that I'd 'dressed myself the same as my children' - meaning that we were all in blue or green or spring colours or patterns. Seems if you're in a stripey mood when you get the clothes out that morning, you are in a stripey mood!
