What's the best advice your mother gave you?

Recommended Posts

In honour of Mother's Day, I thought it might be nice to share what sage/funny/silly advice your mother gave you growing up.

My mom once told me to wear my ugly panties on a date if I wanted to make sure I wasn't tempted to sleep with a guy. My mom's one of those blunt types!!


What kind of advice stuck with you?

I don't know but their is this pizza that I really do love. It's from round table. She says she is going to have one vacume packed and packaged up in dry ice to try and send to me.
I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

From both sides of the house:

Mom: Don't hurt your brother.
Dad: Teach your brother how to take care of himself.

Mom: Get to the table before your Father or you won't eat.
Dad: When she calls for dinner, go wash your hands before you come to the table.

Mom: Stay away from loose women.
Dad: Stay away from loose women.
(the only thing I can remember that they ever agreed on.)

Mom: You can't do that. You're don't know how.
Dad: Hell, give it try. It'll make a man of you.

Mom: What did you do now? Don't do that.
Dad: Put some alcohol on it. It'll alright.
My reality and yours are quite different.

She gave me some great advice that I ignored.
She said..."dont marry that girl, Jimmy, I think shes nuts"
Goddamn I wish I would have listened. :)

Food in your belly.
A Roof over your head.
Cloths on your back.

In that order, everything else is secondary

My mom didn't give a lot of "advice" nor did she try to control or influence who I would become. But everything I am is because of her guidance. She was (and is) always kind, sweet, listening and understanding. She never says anything mean against another but doesn't really criticize me when I do (except to say "Now, Kono.... be nice"). She always just said "I just want my girls happy."

She did however threaten to sell me to the gypsies a few times when I was being especially troublesome.... not that I ever was :).

"Don't get married don't have children" - told me that ever since was in the womb, and yes she's still married and still loves her kids big time - i don't understand it either but always thought it was good advice and lived by it. As she always tells me i love my life too much the way it is and too selfish to have kids and i agree!

That I can marry more money in 20 minutes than I can make in a lifetime :).



lol....well, it wasn't my mother, but my grandfather, who told me, "You want to marry for love, and not money. But it's just as easy to love a rich man." Somehow it never sunk in....but then I'm not married (anymore) either.

Just because eveyone is heading in the same direction, does not mean they know where they're going:)
