    "You look so pretty in pink."

    As she gave me yet another pink blouse, sweater, knit cap, scarf, quilt, anything. If it came in pink, I got one. Even on non-occasions .. just because it was pink. Until I was 36.

    Oh, and this nugget from my dad, who was not my momma, but she would nod in agreement so it counts:

    "We raised our own kids, we're not raising yours. Remember that before you have any."

    My parents had a similar thing " If it's okay with your Mom/Dad, then it's okay with me" Neither would ever give an actual answer, so I would assume a "yes" and do what I wanted. Luckily for them I was a boringly good kid who didn't get into trouble.

    As a teenager I always swore that I would never be like my mom, now I can't think of a person I'd rather be like. These are things I now say to my kids, they either came from mom or dad:

    Nobody said life is fair (to the 12 yo who wants 2 cookies b/c his brother had 2, even thought there is only 1 left)
    Don't make me stop this car! (I have, and they haven't made me stop it since...lol)
    You have XX acres to play on, go outside and be creative (in response to "I'M BOOOORED")
    Wish in one hand, *kitten* in the other...see which one fills up faster (that was dad, LOL)
    I love you (said every night at bedtime)
    We'll see (mostly means no to whatever they're asking, but sometimes not...depends on the day, lol)
    Your face is gonna freeze like that

    "Eat something and you'll feel better"

    No matter what ailment I had (even a hang nail) or just some worry or problem I had she always told me to eat something...hence my struggles with weight!

    ^exactly. But she was kinda slutty like that. :frown:

    Mine always told me she believed kids should be disposable...but only after I came along.

    "if you don't like it, do it yourself" (I learned not to complain so much!)

    "go clean your room" (no one else posted this?!)

    "Why are you always the last one?" (out of the locker room after basketball/volleyball practice/games in middle school. hello, I was the fat kid, I didn't want to change in front of everyone! I waited till most where gone!)

    "maybe you shouldn't drink so much milk" (because that's what made me fat? a 2nd glass of skim milk at dinner??)

    "go do your piano practice/did you practice piano?" (this made me dislike it, being forced to do it)
