Top 10 things Mothers say:
- Be quiet
- Go to your room
- Don't touch that
- Don't be late
- I'll f'n kill you
- Get your a$$ home NOW
- Because I said so
- NO
- Because I am your Mother, that's why!
- I will not tolerate being disrespected
Ummm, that doesn't sound right ... I guess those aren't the top ten things MOST mothers would say. I would imagine MOST mothers would say things like:
- You can do it
- I'm proud of you
- I'll support your decision
- I'm happy for you
- Good job
- Can I help?
- Have fun
- Be careful
- You look beautiful
- I love you
Hopefully you had a mother (or are a mother) who says more of the things on the second list. No matter what category you fall into, I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day!
I think most mothers would (If being truthful) say they would 'fit' into both groups.. in parts anyway! I know I do. And I think that makes me Human.
ReplyDeleteI fit into both categories, but I never use swear words toward my son. Ever. I'd say get your butt home, but I haven't had occasion to say that.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be a parent without saying no, be quiet, go to your room, etc. And I couldn't be a mom without saying all of the second list.
=)
I had to grin when I read your post :> I've heard some of these things a lot growing up!!! (I'm refering to category 1)
ReplyDeleteI think my mom probably says things from both category,.. but then category 1 things are easier to remember? :> just guessing hee.
I'll just say I've wanted to say things in #1, but i mostly say things in #2.
ReplyDeleteHeello it's me again :> I left something for you at my blog, please come by!
