50 things mums say every day | Mum's Grapevine

Apparently, preschoolers need to hear 21,000 words a day – and we’re pretty sure as mums we’re the ones speaking a fair chunk of them, give or take a Peppa Pig episode or two.

Mums of four-year-old girls are asked almost 400 questions a day, that’s about one question every two minutes. So it’s little wonder that mums the world over are repeating these same 50 phrases day in out – even though you probably swore you’d never say half of them!
