Good cop, bad cop

Which one are you?  I am trying to find the balance between being the good cop and bad cop.  Since I am a stay-at-home mom, I have to be both.  Lately, I feel like I am bad cop all the time.  Everything is just a phase, right?  When will these kids start listening?  Why do I need to tell my son 5 times to stop pushing his sister?

Stop hitting your sister.
Stop throwing your toys.
Stop back talking me.
Stop putting your foot in my face.
STOP STOP STOP!

I am a broken record lately and I'll be honest, I feel like I'm breaking my son.  I don't want to punish, but he seems to be deliberately doing things to piss me off.  He's only 4.  Is that even possible?

He has learned the art of lying, but he's not very good.

Why is your sister crying?
I don't know, she fell down.
Why are you standing right next to her?
I just happened to be here.
I'm going to look at the video surveillance (which doesn't exist), so you better tell me the truth now.
I pushed her.

Seriously?  HE'S ONLY 4!

Can I have a good cop day?
