The photo below gives you one clear example of this :
That's right, clearly mummy was very good at topping the kids up with their factor 50 sun cream throughout the day but not so great at applying it to herself and now I'm suffering the consequences, one word, ouch!!!
A few other times spring to mind :
* You need to wear a coat or you will catch a cold - says mummy as she walks out of the house in just top and leggings because as you know us mum's are immune to the cold, right??
* You need to drink all of your drink or you'll get poorly - says mummy as she sips on her one glass of water a day.
* No you can't have sweets for breakfast - says daddy as he is munching away on a chocolate bar.
Do you see a pattern forming here?? I think as parents, we always try to set a good example to our children but we aren't perfect by any means and I think we, like our kids, try to learn from our mistakes. I think sometimes it is just the rebel child in me coming out, you know because my mum now can't tell me what to do now, she just looks at me and shakes her head after I've done it.
So while we are on the subject I would love for you to tell me things you have said to your children as you continue to do the complete opposite, come on I know you've done it!!!
