Just for fun remember the things your mother/Father always said and now you find your self saying the same things to your own Kids. One of the things my Mum would say took me years to sort out, and that was when it came to Tea time was eat what you can and can What can't all she mean't eat everything made me laugh.

my mum used to say to me packit in or you will get hurt,well i find myself screaming it and not saying it,well it didnt work for her and it doesnt work for me they still dont listen and end up getting hurt

Re: Me Mother/Father Always said

Re: Me Mother/Father Always said
 

If we were in a pickle of some sort ,,my mum would say,your in a worse state than Korea,,,i supose it would have to be Kashmir. now..
.................................................. ......................................
When we were dirty,,or going out and not looking smart enough,we got told..Just look at you,, you look like one of Waddeys, but i never knew who the Waddey family were,,they must have been a very scruffy lot,,,,:D

Re: Me Mother/Father Always said
 

Another one my mum used to say is " look at them ears!! you could grow spud's in them" when they were dirty.

Another one I use with my kids when they are sulking......" put your face straight, if wind changes it will stick like that"...... when I was young that thought scared me, but when I got older the thought of trying to make my face straight would raise a giggle.

Re: Me Mother/Father Always said
 

If we were listening to grown ups talking ,when we wern,t susposed to.. we got told,,,,, Little pigs have big ears,,,

Re: Me Mother/Father Always said
 

i was the youngest girl of 6 and when there was just me n my brothers sitting round the table my mum would say things like if you eat all your meat you,ll grow up big n strong ,,,, and eat all your veg it will put hairs on yer chest , well that scared the hell out of me ..

Chuck your muck where your love lies...... and if we were leaning on a grown up (like when you sit on the sofa) they would ask 'have you had your dinner'and when you said 'yes'..... they would say, 'well, lean on it then'

You'll make a better door than a window - when you were stood in front of the tv or something.

Re: Me Mother/Father Always said
 

Gawd i still use a lot of those phrazes, my lad is a very good door than a window & he never puts the 'wood in the hole' aka lives in a barn, another one is 'pick yer feet up off the floor' when one shuffles feet whilst walking, my dads particular fav saying is scruffy herbert, for looking scruffy, dunno where that comes from:confused: Oh & go & play on the railway lines/morway aka bog off & play out or find something to do - geee good job we never took it literally. Another one is engage the brain before tha gob - my eldest favourite not LOL!
