You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch.

You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away.

You come back later, and there is your kid, and there are the shoes. Still on the couch.

So you ask again, and your kid tells you that they will do it in a minute.

Then you come into the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved.

You absolutely lose it!

You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself.
