Mom's Rules! Do You Remember?

When I came across this list it brought back so many memories of my Mom who is now 88 and of me repeating history with my own children. Now they are mom's and I am sure have said a few themselves. Some things never change do they?

My dad was likely to say "Wait until your mother gets home" He was the softy. Or another big kid.

When dealing with children, we all go through the same situations.

I did hear most of those when I was growing up, but it was my dad that liked to tell use that money doesn't grow on trees.

@Ganma7 I guess dads are more concerned with teaching us about economic facts of life.

What about "Stop running around the house!"? Some of those are pretty common where I live too, but I guess the list would be different based on country and culture.

Yes that is another one! True they would be different depending on where you live. Thank you!

It is never easy to be a mom but that is so rewarding even without monetary compensation! One can never return in adequate measure mom's love for her children. A child is always a child whether six or sixty! siva

I guess in time we become our parents, lol. Yes, the list brings back a lot of memories. Many of those listed were uttered by my Mom to me. I am happy she instilled the proper way to behave and shaped my personality in a positive way.

I used the turn the car around a lot. It would usually work, but not always. I made sure I never said the first one, because that's the one that annoyed me the most as a child.
