If Moms Spoke to Each Other the Way They Do to Their Kids
Let’s be real for a moment — we can be a bit ridiculous. Picture this:
“Hey, Sarah, I’m TALKING right now! You need to wait until I’m finished, and then it’ll be your turn to speak, okay?”
Why do we communicate with our kids like this? No wonder they sometimes seem unresponsive. Sure, showering them with praise for the tiniest achievements is great, but perhaps this is why little ones can be a handful: we talk to them in ways that would send anyone into a meltdown if they had to hear it all day.
“Jessica, what are you up to?”
“I was thinking about pouring myself another glass of wine.”
“Hold on! You still have some in your glass. Finish what I already poured for you, and then you can ask for more — and I’ll gladly pour it for you, understood?”
“But I just—”
“NO ATTITUDE, PLEASE!”
Can you imagine if we carried on like this with each other throughout the day? Poor kids, right?
This is a lighthearted reminder that maybe we should consider how we speak not just to our little ones, but to each other too.
