Dads. What are your go-to 'parent phrases'? (self.dads)

Since I became a father some 5.5 years ago, I've realised that I've rather quickly turned into the sort of person who tells my children that 'silly games, silly prizes' and 'want doesn't mean get'.

I'm not sure I can pinpoint the exact moment this change occurred, but it did, and now I guess I'm stuck in this hell. The question is, am I stuck in it on my own, or are there more of us?

Lately it's been "Is something happening right now? Is there something you should pay attention to, because it's going to affect you directly and immediately?"

My kid tends to space out, which is fine, but worse they space out when they really need to be paying attention to their surroundings.
