When your kids use your words against you.

I have to be honest. What I am about to write is so frustrating at times, but in the same breath, makes me break out into a giggle.

Conversation between Drew versus myself/Todd:

Todd: "Drew...I said no. No throwing your cars off the stairs to crash on Lilly. That is not a safe or a nice thing to do. If that hits Lilly, it will make her sad"

Drew: (starting to cry) "No Daddy, don't tell me NO. That makes me sad."(more crying after that very dramatic statement)

Me: "Drew..please stop tackling your sister on the tile floor. She is trying to play with you right now, not trying to take Chic away. Look, she is crying and upset. That hurt Lilly's feelings."

Drew: (really whooping it up) "Don't tell me to stop it mommy. That makes my feelings hurt when you say this at me." (insert lots of over the top crying here)



Where did we go wrong?
