I don’t want to play with you right now!! and other things I wish I’d never said

You know how it is.... out of your mommy mouth comes an outrageously ridiculous statement like that above. You instantly regret it and think 'what is wrong with me!?' You worry if you have turned into your own mother...

One thing I often say when I am exasperated is: "I don't care if X happened, you will do Y right now" as in "I don't care if your sister touched your book, quit smacking her with the book." This has led to my son dramatically telling me that I don't care about him. Anytime he gets in trouble for something he bursts out 'OH SO NOW YOU HATE ME!!!!!'

Anybody else?
