Sometimes words leave our mouths and we'd like to shove them right back in. Unfortunately, we don't have a rewind button. Once the words leave our lips, we've already made an impression on our kids.
Consider the following popular parent lines:
1. "Because I'm the adult." That's a problem because it explains nothing other than your age.
Oh, my, another "expert." I certainly used "Because I'm the adult" and "Because Isaid so," and neither of my children suffered any irreparable harm. I believe that I have heard them use those same reasons to their children, and they seem ok.
