I, as a parent, keep a list of things that I never thought I would say and have said. Things like "Because I said so" and "I'll give you something to cry about" are staples on the list. I have had a few others I thought I might add. Please feel free to judge as harshly as you like, but I know that most of us have had these moments:
Just sit there and watch TV.
Okay, just let mommy finish her wine and then we'll go.
It's okay, you can shower in the morning.
I swear to God, if you touch your brother again I'm going to smack your ass . . . hard. (This one might just be me)
Well, if you're bored you should play a video game.
Okay, birthday cake is okay for breakfast.
Stellar parental moments. I'm not proud, I'll admit it. Sometimes you have to say WTF, even if you're a parent.

I've said all of those except "I'll give you something to cry about" -- which I only missed because it wasn't said to me as a child.
Addition to your list:
"I'm going to count to five, and if you haven't stopped ___ by then ..."
followed wimpishly by "1... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 4 and a half ... four and three quarters ..."
I happened onto your blog and started to read it from the beginning. I had to stop when family life interrupted, but will come back and finish. Amazing writing! Insightful and honest... just incredible!
Wow, thanks Tim and Maggie. Nice to know that I'm not alone...
yr welcome
