Things not to do

I have been making mental lists ever since I became a parent. Lists of things to remember, things I need to pick up, things my kids like, things that cause drama, etc...

However my longest list (and funniest) I wanted to share with you... 

Funny things NOT to do

*Never match socks

My kids would rather wear mismatched socks - DEFINITELY NOT matched ones so why waste my time.

*Do not leave clothes that are too small for your baby/child in their dresser.

Or THE day you ask your husband to help you get the kids ready while you get yourself ready so your not late- BAM .... he finds that outfit out the ENTIRE dresser.

*Never tell your teenage child you will help them with their homework.

Because you really will not remember learning that from middle/high school.

*Do not assume just because you fed your teenage son 5 minutes ago that he is full.

THEY ARE NEVER FULL!

*Never think skinny jeans mean you have to be skinny to fit them.

*Do not believe your daughter with pufflicious hair will handle her hair herself as a teen.

She will convince you that you do a much better job.

*Do not assume just because they passed the tests at school, that kids can actually tell time on clocks that are not digital.

*Never trust your child has brushed their teeth every night/morning without you bothering them.

As a matter of fact, that also goes for deodorant.

*Never tell someone your baby waves and says bye-bye.

He will wait until completely out of the site of the person to actually wave and say bye-bye.

*Do not bother asking the kids if they made their bed.

It's always made, they either sleep on the floor or sleep on top of covers to avoid making their bed.

*Never get your hopes up that a family portrait of 11, will have everyone smiling nicely.

There is always one (or more) that make a crazy face.     

There are so many more and I may blog again about this same topic, as I am sure my list will continue to grow over the years. Hope you enjoyed this short list.

I would love to know if y'all have any DO NOT things that you mental list. Please share.
