Does it ever make you think you've become your own mom or dad? LOL.

Dang, you ask all the good questions.
Well, last time I remember was when my (former) wife had her sister and move move in with us. I had the AC on and our electric bill was over $200.00 for the month, and they left a window open. I said "I am not paying to air condition the whole neighborhood." Just then I remembered my father saying that and I shuddered because I also remembered my own thoughts where I told myself I'll never sound like him. LOL

My mum always used to say Don't always presume there
will be a tomorrow and keep your home clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy.
another one was - eat your crusts they will make your hair curly. A good one was The higher the heel the lower the class. There is a fine line between tart and smart -these two when I was dressed to go out and she didn't approve of what I was wearing. All these have been repeated to my daughter who finds she is saying them to her daughter.

I say; " For crying out loud!!".....my dad used to say it daily about some thing or some one that irritated him. My kids say it now as well as some of my grandchildren.
Also I say " that's insane!!!" when I hear something that I can
hardly believe because it is so amazing or ( in my opinion) is outrageous.

Do you think money grows on trees.
You are what you eat.
Do as I say. Not as I do.
Finish your dinner. There are starving kids in Africa who would love to have the food you are wasting.
The early bird gets the worm.
Well that didn't last a farting spell.

Plum pretty much got my answer to a tee!
Grandfather would say..."one step at a time"
I have had to remind myself of that many times in my life.
Life is what you make it...
Everybody has a closet!
Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time.

If they put their head in the gas oven, would you do the same? Eat your dinner before it gets cold. Don't do as I do, do as I say. And my personal favourite, If you fall over and break your leg, don't come running to me!

" I'm your mother & I don't care what so & so's mom allows him to do." One thing I never said was "wait 'til your father gets home." I heard that so much growing up, & came to fear him all of my life. No one should fear their parent/parents that way.

My mother-in-law used to say, "You're paying for your raising" when our children were giving us fits. Now I think the same thing when our grandchildren are being brats but I don't say it out loud to my kids. (Think I'm still paying!)
