Things my parents said that I am now saying to my children...

"This is not a playground!" - I think of my dad every time I say this.

"It takes two to make a fight." - This one is a mom quote.

On a similar topic, has anyone out there figured out how to parent without saying "don't" all the time? As in, "don't get on the table, don't throw that, don't be so loud..."

Right now, I can hear things crashing in Aidan's room, and I can feel some more "don'ts" coming on...
