Because I Said So — and Other Things Moms Say on Repeat

Dec 13 2014 - 5:51am

My kids tend to say the same things [1] over and over (and over) again, but it seems to be a two-way street because I find myself saying my own, even more annoying, mom phrases a lot more than I'd like. I always said I'd never be that mommy, but here we are — and if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: this mom gig just isn't that easy. So, do tell: which phrases are on repeat in your mommy dialogue? (Answer me when I'm asking you a question!)
