Annoying phase #2324

Yeah so why does what Ainsley says you can or cannot do get more credence than what I say? "Ainsley said I can't sing!" "Ainsley said I can't play with my Ariel!" Whatever! So ignore her.

 

I am not looking forward to that phase! We actually just had a preview of it last weekend at my best friend's house. Her 4 year old daughter ordered Cricket and Piper around like little puppets. And my girls are STILL telling me that Anna said they can't play with dolls. (ie - she didn't want them touching her Barbies)

 

Yep...and this will now go on for the rest of your life Seriously, one of my most annoying things!

 

Right there with you! P, P and C are always telling me what one said they could or couldn't do. My girls also like to call each other a boy for some reason. That drives everyone insane.

 

Is this a phase they all go through? Gosh, I can't imagine the two of them bossing each other around all day. They do this thing where they make up rules to follow but both play so I haven't worried about it.

We were at the playground the other day and a boy kept telling T&T they couldn't go on one of the climbing toys because they were "too little and you'll fall and cry and I don't want that to happen". Trent looked right at him and asked, "WHY do you keep saying that?" They then looked at me and asked if they could do it and I said of course and that the little boy doesn't know them or what they can climb and he was only trying to help them because some kids their size couldn't do it. So maybe the same always question authority trait that makes me crazy will cut us some slack on this one?

 

Oh yes, they will also treat what some other kid says like gold. Like another kid on the playground, playgroup friends. Maybe it bugs me because they listen to each other/other kids but not me! Right now - "Is this the right foot?" (putting on shoes) Me: "Yes." Bea: "But Ainsley said it's NOT!" Aaaaahhh!!

 

:gah: :gah: That phrase KILLS me!!! My two are big on putting each other in time out and I'm forever having one of them come out and tell me "Tony/Angie told me I have to go to TO" :umm: When I tell them they blow it off! :laughing:


I'm right there with you!
