For some reason I'm beginning to see a theme here with my childhood.......  🤣🤣🧚‍♀️

Really??? No, surely not..    You were just an early starter.

Not so much a parental saying but never leave Lego on the floor, when it's dark you'll remember...

Never heard that one, but it has that strange logic to it.

I used to get when pouting ..

"If you do that a little bird will come down and peck it off." generally indicating the expertly deployed bottom lip.

Haha I like it!

Yes whenever we were crying over something stupid we would get that rather sadistic reply 🤣🤣

[PixieDust]

 

Few more for the road.....

"At this rate, we will be waiting for the cows to come home" 🐄🐄🐄

"What paddy shot at?" 🔫 (In reply when asking whats for dinner)

"Eat it or go hungry" 🙄   (When turning my nose up at whats for dinner)

"A lady never chews with her mouth open"  🙊 (When eating dinner)

"Watch your P's & Q's" (Again normally involved soap) 🙊🙊

"Mark my words or you will be sorry" (Hmm soap again) 😋

 

and on that note, I'm off for some  💤🛌  before I incriminate myself any further 🙊🙊🙊🧚‍♀️

Wind ya neck in was always another one too!!!! When I use to phone my mum, she'd always say what time you call this!!!??!? So so many more!!!

Great thread @Thebian

 

A few off the top of my head:

“Don't you make me pull this car over” 🚗

“You kids will Be the death of me" 

“I wasn't born yesterday you know”

“Because I said so”  (My response but why?) 😋

“I am counting to three”  ( My response can you make it 5) 😁

“I’ll wash your mouth out with soap” (Sadly that one I remember all too well) 🧼

and my favourite "You brought this on yourself" (always was a glutton for punishment) 😋🤣🧚‍♀️

Cry? I'll give you something to cry about!

This will all end in tears.

I've warned you.... and I won't warn you again.....

Stop nicking Daddies drink and fags!

"There was a little girl,

Who had a little curl,

Right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good,

She was very good indeed,

But when she was bad she was horrid."

 

@PixieDust OMG, stop reading my mind!

Love it!

I can't think of anything my parents said that someone hasn't already posted, except.....

"If you cross your eyes, they will stay like that" 

Hell, for all I know it could be true.

Oh is that what they mean when people say "She was positively glowing."

When you fell over, *** coming out your knee, and all your mum says is if you've made a hole in your trousers you'll get a clout

💗 Love this one, heard it a few times too......gosh we all must of been wretched kids growing up 😋

So not being a parent myself, I do wonder how many parents have gone on to use these sayings now on their own ankle biters.

[Deleted Member]

A really fabulous post that’s made me laugh so much. Thank you everyone just so funny. So many of your comments resonate with me but I’ll add a couple more.

 

if I was really naughty the response was “wait till your father gets home” 

A frequent response to me wanting something “ *** doesn’t grow on trees”

If it left the door open, “ shall I put the fire on the lawn” 

The sad thing is I now use these myself😩😩

[VoyagerX]

Lol!

Do as I say... not as I do!

If I've told you once.. I've told you a thousand times.

I'll tell your father ( me....who? )

If you pick it it'll only get worse

( From my mum)... Don't worry...if there are monsters under your bed... just scream!

OMG, have I ever Pixie, I think the ones I have used the most are the ones that as a *** I said "I will never say that to my kids."

Had so many "I am turning into my Mother / Father." *Sobs*

I succeeded in not using "You can go off people." to my *** as it always made me thinks it was literal. 

But I did rather fail with "If you don't stop it I will tear your arm off and beat you to death with the soggy end." 

I think we could write a guide to parenting just using these expressions.

I have a story for this one as well Bold my friend. 

My Grandmother was the headteacher of a village school, back when headteachers actually taught.

She was renowned by the students for having "Eyes in the back of her head."

In reality she always wore large glasses that were down on the tip of her nose. So when she wrote on the black board she could see the the reflection of the class behind her in the lenses.
