They call this the development of the superego

Scene. I hear a strange noise- as though he has gotten into something he shouldn't- and I come around the corner.

George: "What are you doing?"

Scene. George is running through the living room.

George: "Slow down!"

Scene. George tosses all the toys in Helen's basket across the room.

George: "Big mess, clean it up!"

Scene. George takes huge bites of his dinner and coughs and splutters a bit.

George: "Careful, chew."

Scene. George is kicking his daddy.

George: "No kicking daddy!"

Is this really how I sound to him? Like one of those Peanuts moms going wah-wah-wah??

Also, these situations reminded me of this passage:

Romans 7:15-24

¹⁵For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. ¹⁶Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. ¹⁷So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. ¹⁸For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. ²⁰Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
