Four year old yells at parent..

[Mouse5]

Uhh... yea that would be mine. It's not every day that ones four year old yells at you for walking on their newly mopped floor. So I thought I would share the tale with you. Of course there's not much to tell, but I will still share it with you.

I was just finishing up the kitchen when my daughter comes in and decides to help. She insisted on helping to sweep the floor and then demanded to be allowed to mop. A little apprehensive about it I wet the mop and handed it to her. Usually I wind up with more mess when she all done then when she starts, but I decided to give her a chance. Low and behold she does a beautiful job and proceeds to yell at anyone who so much as takes a step in the kitchen before the floor was completely dry. :rolleyes:

Yea, she sounded just like me when I get done mopping. Guess I'll have to watch my tone if I don't want my kids going around and yelling at each other. Or at me and my husband for that matter. But on the bright side, she did a marvelous job on the kitchen floor.:cool:

When out of the mouths of babes comes an echo...parents oughts to listen!

So very true.

But she was so very cute standing there and defending all the hard work she did. And I was so proud of how she took her time and did it right.
Just need to work on that tone and the use of kind words instead of demanding phrases. :)

Mouse,

that really is neat. I have sibling's who do that, and it is cute in a way. Also can be frustrating though...it makes me laugh!

Yes it can be frustrating if it happens frequently, but in this case it was the first time... in this instance anyway.:rolleyes: This child has very good vocal chords. LOL

I've been thinking of giving her a sign she can put up that says wet floor so that all she has to do is put up her sign when she is allowed to mop. That might stem the yelling a bit. And I might just use that sign myself....hmmm I think I just came up with a good idea. Well, what do you know. :p
