Because I Said So — and Other Things Moms Say on Repeat
My kids tend to say the same things 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!) Source: Flickr user Amber Ivers
