When you yell out your kids.....

[catsrule]

do you use their middle name too? When I yell at Simba for chasing after Cali, I yell 'Simba Jay'. His middle name is Jay, just like his dads.

Yep, occasionally I do!

oops! Meant to say yell at not yell out....bwahahaha...I'm spelling like Jason, I am scared.

Long post, MJ!! J/K

Amazingly, I not only yell out my kids' and DH's middle names when I'm mad at them - but I give the cat a middle name, just like you! But the middle name changes, one time it is Ann, another Marie, etc. And the cat knows when there's a second name after Precious, she better high tail it for the hills!

I only use Travis's middle names if I'm displeased, otherwise I don't. I don't use my husbands real name, it's a made up nickname, so if he ever hears me call him by his first and middle name he knows I'm furious.

Yep, my girls know they are in trouble when I say their full names.

Oh Ya!! They know it means trouble. I have also given my dog a middle name but I use it often, not just when he is in trouble. ( since he is my baby, he is almost never in trouble )

Ya know, I use their middle names quite a bit, in trouble or not, so maybe that's why it's hard for them to discern when I am serious until I am REALLY yelling. BTW, my cat has a middle name, too. It is Cat, as in Bailey Cat. I use that a lot too.

I don't, but DW does...

 

[cinlee3]

Yes, and my kids know if they hear that middle name they better listen up!!

To this day I cringe if I hear "Cynthia Lee" especially the way Mom used to say it

Ashli loves her middle name and prefers me to use it with her first name (Ashli Marie) but I usually don't unless I'm exasperated with her, not usually when I'm angry though. Names tend to get short and I snap them out quick when I'm really mad. When I say "Ash" loudly and quickly Ashli knows there's trouble a brewin'.

Oh Yeah!! In fact I told my sister that when she thinks about having kids she needs to practice that...it should just roll right out! Nice and Easy!! (just kidding)

Seriously, yes I do use their middle names. That's the sign that mom's not joking anymore.

oh yeah and DD knows she's in trouble when she hears it!!

LOL and I recently gave one of the cats a middle name just so I could yell it. Her name now is Sassy Marie

 

[imgoingtodisney]

well ya sometimes I do - I just start yelling names
DS is Jonathan, middle name David
DH is David

So when I get mad it can come out Jonathan David so am I just yelling at Jonathan? or yelling at both of them?

I use the girls middle names even when not yelling. Since my family calls me Mandy instead of Amanda it helps with the confusion. Since I use Mandy Ellen's middle name I figured I should use Cassie Lee's middle name.
