Most hated childhood parent-sayings?
What's one (or more!) sayings that you hated hearing growing up? (besides "no" LOL)
Mine:
"Children should be seen, not heard"

Re: Most hated childhood parent-sayings?
Life's not fair-Ugh I hated when my mom said that.
"I brought you in to this world...ill take you out!" (kidding of course...but it was SO annoying!)
"Stop crying before I really give you something to cry about."
Love,
Dad

do as I say not as I do
because I said so
These are from my crazy abusive aunt her children were always getting into trouble:
Don't make me slap you into next week
I birthed you into this world and I will take you out (LMAO)
You don't have a pot to piss in or one to throw it out of. This is my house!
Stop crying before I give you something to really cry about
My lupus Birth Story
"Irrelevant." Anytime I'd object to his rulings, my dad would let me know that my feelings/input had no bearing on the matter at hand.
There were several times I was tempted to say "You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Das ist ausgeschlossen!" ?(That is out of the question!)
"Mach Schnell!" ? (Hurry up!)?
"This too shall pass." ?I can appreciate this now, but when I was 13, it was of no solace. ?I really, really did think my world was falling apart.n ??
Me: That's not fair!
Mom: Fairs are for tourists.
Ooh- I almost thought I didn't have any. But "Because I said so" reminded me... Yeah, never liked that one.
Although, when my grandma told me (as like a grade-schooler) that "It'll get better before you get married", it always DID make me feel better... I still say that now, to DH, even though it's not literally applicable. It just helps put things into perspective.
My dad "This hurts me more than it hurts you."
And yes, he would tell me this before he spanked me.
He also made me go to my room and wait a few minutes to ponder my wrongdoing before he would actually come in for the spanking.
Thankfully I was a good kid and can only remember 1 occasion where he spanked me. I was 7 and playing on the roof of our house with a friend (our patio connected to the roof).
this one is funny!!!!
Someday your children will do the same thing...see how you feel about it then.
Still waiting mom, but I'm sure I have some payback headed my way...especailly with 2 girls who will become teenagers one day!
