On school nights my kids bed time is 9:00 pm and I am very strick about that, if their teeth are not brushed and pajama's are not on before 9:00pm I will not come and lay down with them for a few minutes of chit chat. On Monday night around 9:30 I decided the chit chat was over they were getting extremely goofy, so I said in a Mean Mommy voice (o.k. I was yelling) "heads on the pillow and stop talking" Braiden reminded me that "the bible teaches us to be to be nice and not mean." My quick come back was children were to obey their parents and if they were obiedant I would have not yelled.
In reality I fueled that fire with previous statements. When I am trying to find a peaceful place to read scriptures I will always tell my kids give me 30 minutes to read and then I will be nicer to you, which is true but its funny how kids remind you of your own words.
