Sometimes, as adults, we get sucked into our daily grind so much, that we stop being empathetic and get irked by any small thing. And in situations like these, we often don't put any filters on what we say. It becomes more tricky if you are a parent because you might unintentionally say things to your children that you shouldn't.

Something like, "Go away, you are annoying me!," "You are good for nothing!," and "I hate you" can have a negative consequence on the psyche of your child.
