Title: Momisms Post by pattik on May 13th, 2006, 1:39pm I have to admit to using some of these on my daughter which I got from my mother. Here are a few of the more common ones....feel free to add some of your own. ;;D Put that down! You don't know where it's been! Don't sit too close to the television, it'll ruin your eyes. You don't have to like me, missy, I'm your mother. How can you sleep in an unmade bed? You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. You can't start the day on an empty stomach. Always put on clean underwear in the morning, in case you're in an accident. |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by Linda_Howell on May 13th, 2006, 2:47pm Go ahead and hate me. I still love you. I brought you into this world and I will take you out. OMG....you're becoming a human "bean". (at 1st. sign of intelligent conversation with my daughter. If you're going to be a master at excuses for your bad behavior, at least be creative. Linda |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by Melissa on May 13th, 2006, 8:48pm Mine are: "What the hell was that?" "Are you deaf??" "I don't care if you don't like it, you're going to eat it!" "Don't talk when I'm talking to you!" "What's going on in here?" "What'd you do to your brother?" "Get your hand out of your pants!" |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by Donna_D. on May 13th, 2006, 11:38pm Some of these are mine and some of these are my mom's. Somewhere along the way I lost track of which one's originated with which mom. If you fall down and break your neck, don't you DARE come running to me!! Mean? You think I'm mean??...Well then!! I must be doing a good job. How many times have I told you!! You CANNOT keep crawdads in the bathtub!! (my mom's) You don't have to like me but you damn well better respect me! I'm going in the house and your hair is going with me (that one is definately my moms....my head still hurts, because she wasn't kidding.) You better not start any fights but if you do you damn well better finish it. If someone hits your brother/sister I better see every one of you whoopin their ass, or you will get an ass whoopin when you get home!! If you have to ask me if it is "clean enough", it's NOT clean enough. Shoving everything under your bed does not mean you cleaned your room! and this one is my favorite. THAT'S IT!!! I'm changing my name!!! I'm not Mama ANYMORE!!!! DD |

Yeah Ma, if it's good for me, how come God made it taste like shit? He made it taste like shit so you wouldn't put it in your mouth! My kids were lucky. They never had to eat anything I don't like. |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by BarbaraD on May 14th, 2006, 7:04am It'd be easier to get a new kid than to CLEAN you up!!! Because I SAID SO - that's WHY!!!! I can always kill you and bury you in the back yard! GO TO YOUR ROOM! Hugs BD |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by catlind on May 14th, 2006, 9:07am Of course the all time favorite in this house: If yer gonna be stupid ya gotta be tough. followed by: Is there bone? Is there blood? then you are fine, rub some dirt in it and keep going. Because I said so. Trust me, you will NEVER be big enough to take me out. You and I are going to have a Come to Jesus talk....followed by "What's that?" followed by When I'm done with you, you will have found God and ask for saving. You are about to get an attitude adjustment. And thanks to the schools teaching children they can't be spanked (this was in Canada) my oldest in first grade came home and said you can't spank me, I'll call children's aid. At which point I informed him (and subsequently the other 2): You don't need to worry about calling children's aid, I'll dial the phone for you, because when I'm done with you, you will NEED them. Never heard that line from any of them again :) Cat |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by nani on May 14th, 2006, 11:50am These are great, LOL. I've heard and used a few myself. Here was my, um, favorite from my mom.

Title: Re: Momisms Post by deltadarlin on May 15th, 2006, 9:05am And how many of us have had to eat our own words? You know, those you *thought* about when you were growing up~"I'll never do/say to my kid (s) what my mom did/said to me". That lasts just until you have your first kid. Then we usually find ourselves sounding just like those people that we swore we would never be like :-X |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by aprilbee on May 15th, 2006, 10:20am My mom's favorite was "do as I say not as I do" WHATEVER...... ::) My favorite is "I'm a mom, I know EVERYTHING!" ;;D (my daughter hates it when I say that... ;) |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by sandie99 on May 15th, 2006, 2:48pm My mum used to say "Siberia will teach" a lot. Generally she doesn't repeat herself that often, so I don't have nice momisms to share. One day when I have kids, her words probably will just pop out of my mouth... ;;D Sanna |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by LeLimey on May 16th, 2006, 4:12am How many of us have screamed back when they've gone into the non stop screaming mode?! I have.. scared the bejaysus out of them. ;;D None of my kids ever threw a screaming fit again! Another favourite of mine is to repeat everything they say and mimic their gestures.. drives 'em nuts but eventually they have to laugh when they realise how ridiculous they must look. "Yeah I'm mean and I can hit REALLY HARD too!" The one I will never ever use though which my mum used all the flippin' time was "You'll miss me when I'm dead" or "You'll remember doing that when I'm dead ad it will be too late"... As a kid that used to strike terror into me (as it was intended to do) but I just can't do that to mine :-/ |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by Charlotte on May 16th, 2006, 3:53pm My grandma - "It's better to share than have someone take it away from you." My mom "Watch your mouth". Then I did and she would smack me. My mom, when I was a young mother - "Charlotte had a baby. She lost it in her room." |

Title: Re: Momisms Post by ABarham on May 16th, 2006, 4:10pm Give it a shot, the reaction is really great, especially the first time. They really never quite knew whether to believe me or not. It got their attention, and for awhile, there was peace or manners or whatever I was seeking at the moment. They were afraid someone they really didn't like might come to the door and they weren't willing to chance making a bad situation worse. Anyway that's what I believe. Mama Weezer |

If your lower lip sticks out any further a bird's going to fly over and poop on it. (no kidding, Mom really said this to me) Why, because I'm the grown up and your the brat, that's why! If you hit your sister first, you'd better be ready to duck because she has my permission to knock your lights out! (said by me to my two fighting daughters) :-/ Sandy |
