"You're mopping the floor up with those pants!"
"Get your hair out of your eyes!"
"I pay good money for your pants, and you rip them up the sides and add that ugly material!"
"How did you get a sunburn in school?"
"What's that smell? Are you burning that incense again?"
"If your friends jumped off a building, would you jump too?"

Quit that!
Your face will freeze like that.
Quit that!
Ladies don't dress like that.
Quit that!
This is for your own good.
This hurts me more than it does you.
Quit that!

"Someday when you have kids, you'll understand!" My mom said this during an aurgument with me when I was a teenager. She was absolutely right! When my oldest son tried to pull something a couple of years ago, it all came back to me and I called my mom, crying, and told her how sorry I was for everything I'd ever done. Now, I say to my boys, "Someday when you have kids, you'll understand!" That's my only solice... knowing that someday I WILL get that phonecall from them!!!!!!!! It's a vicious circle! But I wouldn't trade it for anything!

My mother once told me that I was going to be a dog in Milwaukee in my next life.
My mother was unusual.

.... I keep hearing coming out of my mouth now .....
Thanks, MOM!
I am very fortunate to be able to call my mother my best friend in the world. All of the good in my life I attribute to how she raised me.
Mom - I love you!

"Youre driving me crazy"
"Its your fault I cant sing anymore. Its from screaming at you all the time"
"Youre worthless. Why did I ever have you?"
"Hey STUPE. Thats not the right way to fold the sheets, stupe."
"I cant wait til youre of age because then I can kick you out"
"You were adopted. No child of mine could be like you"
"Why cant you be more like your sister? YOu must have been switched at the hospital"
I guess I was a brat, eh?

Well, one good thing that happened for her is, she didnt have to wait for me to be of age. I split when I was 17

Yea, what Nana said. Sounds like you had a tough childhood Maui. My mom put me down too at times, but now that I understand how she was raised, I understand why she parented the way she did. It was all she knew.

Things my DAD said
"Never get in the family way without being married to your true love"
"Be kind. World is full of bad things and bad people. Be a difference, sweetheart"
"I love you. You are the apple of these old eyes"
"Animals are people too"
"I was blessed when your mother gave you to me"
"Dont ever start a fight. But know how to protect yourself if ever attacked".
"I love you I love you I love you"
It wasnt too bad...I had daddy

This is honestly true. To this day we tease my mother for it.
"Don't play in the rain or you will get polio".
Also can't forget:
"Dont sit on the pavement or you will get piles".

Good grief, Mauimoods, I think we had the same mother! My father was my rock who kept me from going schizo.
One bit of wisdom my mother gave me that has certain, but cynical truth to it, "Never trust a man especially if you love him."
She was right about that, I learned the hard way. I have made sure that I can take care of myself - just in case.

If you see someone lie they will lie to you.
Taste it before you salt it.
If you have to explain it it's not funny.
Don't ever pull a pistol to wave around - you decide to shoot before you draw.
From Dad
Watch out for the old boys - They have been around a time or two and know some tricks.
Contracts mean nothing if the man is a cheat.
Someone who makes an enamy for no reason is a fool.

"It's as easy to love a rich man as a poor one."
I married a poor one anyway.
"You won't get a 'yes' from Dad unless you wait until he's in the right mood, and it will help if he thinks it's his idea."
I've been able to transfer this advice to dealing with my own husband.
"Don't worry about not being able to gain weight. When you hit 26 that will change."
Man, was she ever right on the nose. I sure wish she'd been wrong about that one!

"When you put your clothes in the hamper, put them on the right side or they won't get clean". I would put them on the left ~ they still got clean! Guess she meant don't leave them inside out

RainyBear - LOLOL! Same here - she told me that (about a rich man vs. a poor man) all the time, and just look at me now! Ah, well...she also said the first time, you marry for love, the second time, make damn sure you marry for money. ROFL!
She also said I would have kids just like me - and God help me, my son is just like me. My daughter, thank goodness, is gonna be the easy one. I hope....
Heard "I love you" a lot. She used to tell me I was her treasure, too. Her bonus baby, nine years after her last boy. Only girl in the family, too. I was spoiled. I admit it.
For me, the best things were not the things she said, but the things we did together. Not a day goes by I don't long for one more day to go out garage sale-ing with her, or out to dinner, or just hear her voice. If I was her treasure, she was my rock.
{{{Maui}}}. That breaks my heart.

When I was young my mom used to yell at me for biting my nails.
Then she came up with this story:
"If you bite your nails they will start growing from the roof of your mouth"
Needless to say I never bit them again! (And we still laugh about it!)

Don't talk with your mouth half full. Do you think she meant I had to fill it right up before talking or keep it shut altogether?
wait until your father gets home OMG you know what, I have said that exact same thing to my kids'.
I hope you have a daughter just like you now I know that she meant it in the best possible way cause I was a perfect child.

You made your bed now lie in it. Let sleeping dogs lie. No one hands you things in life, you have to go get it yourself. Among other things.
