Moms share what they are tired of saying to their kids while being on lockdown with them

Being locked down with kids is nothing like being locked down alone.


Moms went to the Mamahood Gauteng group to share their lockdown experience, particularly with the kids.

One mama asked, “mommies what are you tired of saying the most?”.

A lot of moms were ready to answer, especially those that had more than one child. Their responses are not only hilarious but very relatable.

Some of our favorite comments:

“Pick up your Lego from the floor” and “stop annoying your brother/sister”

“STOP calling me Mommy!!!!!!! All I hear all day!!!!!”

“Stop running in the house”

“Remo stop making noise the baby is sleeping”

“Stop fighting, tidy your room, don’t cry if the dog gets hold of your toys, I am changing my name it’s not mommy”

“Stop hurting your sister. She’s a baby. (mom says to the 3yo hitting the 4month old with a pool noodle)”

“Can I use the toilet in peace, please. I can’t use the toilet and carry you at the same time”

“Stop trying to sit on the cat ????”

“Stop following me please”, “I’m begging you guys please don’t follow me”

“Put your clothes back on”
