In the whirlwind of parenting, it’s easy to let slip some regrettable comments before we can catch ourselves. To see if I’m alone in this, I surveyed some friends, and it turns out we’ve all let loose some rather surprising remarks. Here’s a collection of those moments. Names have been changed to protect the (unintentionally rude) innocent.
- Only your fingers belong in your vagina—no, not even snacks.
- Can you please stop yelling at me?
- I might just cancel your birthday party, and yes, I know it’s just two hours away.
- That’s nice, but maybe next time, try to avoid being a jerk about it.
- Please refrain from putting your penis on your sister.
- I’ll stop raising my voice when you stop acting like a brat.
- Keep that up, and you won’t have any friends.
- No more fries until you finish your bacon, okay?
- You really know how to put the “I” in “team,” sweetheart.
- Daughters and mommies don’t kiss like that.
