Ever imagined if we were in our own kids shoes what would we have said or done?

"Mummy I think you need to take English lessons again, because you got your pronouns wrong"
Here are some of my favourite quotes....
When you try to tell a child that you remember the words of an old childhood book, but forget some of the words...
Me: " Oh I remember this book off by heart"...(gets few words wrong)
My daughter:" Well Mummy, clearly you didn't, you need to read the book again"!
Ever asked your child what they want for their birthday? My son was turning 10, I asked him what birthday presents would he like me to get him. And this is what he said..."Mummy can you buy me a Rolex watch"! A very demanding child I have. I wish I had never asked.
I'm sure we all have gone through a time where children refuse to wear clothes that they have already worn before to an occasion right? I'm going through that stage now with my daughter whenever there's an occasion or an event buying clothes becomes a challenge. Apparently, she doesn't like to wear the same clothes she already has and demands to buy her a brand new outfit.
There was a cake stall at the kids' school. My son chose a Blueberry muffin and ate the remaining half whilst sitting in the car. His remarks:" Whoever made that muffin, the taste wasn't nice", but still carried on eating eat.
Two kids fighting over sweets in the morning, when the youngest child ends up passing this cheeky remark to her older brother... "You don't tell me WHAT to do!!"
Inviting your child's friends over for a play date is a good thing right? What could go wrong she says... I was picking up my daughter from school one day when she told me she had invited two of her best friends to our house on the weekend. There was me thinking hey kids say stuff like that and parents are sensible to arrange and confirm everything with the other child's parents?
"You invited your friends over before asking if it was ok with me? They don't know where you live"!.. "Oh Mummy, I already told them my address"! "Sorry, you did what?"
The weekend came, the kids were over at their grandparent's house when late afternoon there was a knock on the door. I went to open it and there was my daughter's friend freely walking in as if she's been here before. Her father said I will be picking her up later on... little did I know that later on meant a good couple of hours. I didn't have a problem with her coming, the issue I had was, I had no contact number in case of an emergency, I had no clue where she lived, I had no information whether she had any health problems or any allergies that I should take on board. who would have known hey?
It's fun watching your child's favourite sport on tv. We have our teams who we cheer on when Formula 1 is on. It's hilarious when the youngest child tries to pronounce the name of the driver, but gets it wrong.. "Mummy is that Lewis Templeton"? .. "Sorry who"?
Kids know all your hideouts around the house, but you have no clue where their hideouts are. Yes happens to me all the time, unfortunately.
Never give technologies to kids chances are you won't be able to get it back from them.
My son was playing his game on my laptop just before going to school. When it was time to leave I assumed he had placed my laptop back in my room or somewhere downstairs. Little did I know that I would be spending 8 hours looking for it.
The worst thing was I needed to send my cv off to a recruiter and had to apologise to him because I could not locate my device.
My gut instincts were telling me to check in my son's room again.. and there it was underneath his play tent's rug.
