1. If you do that again, your *** is mine.

3. If you do that again, I'll knock your teeth down your throat.


4 If you do that again, I'll stick my boot up your ***.


5. You are as worthless as t!t$ on a boar hog.





There's a few of them. Man I wouldnt dream saying those. What comments did your parents use?What Parenting Quotes did your parents use that you wont or will not use with your kids?
Do we have the same parents because that sounds just like my dad!





The biggest one I can think of is ';I am going to knock you into tomorrow if you don't cool it'; or the famous ';next time';





Funny thing is my parents very seldom ever spanked and were really pretty quiet people but they could pop off some zingers.





The good ones my dad always said are ';excuses are only good fo the one that makes them'; and ';quitters don't win and winners don't quit'; I say those to my kids all the time.What Parenting Quotes did your parents use that you wont or will not use with your kids?
My mom would send all of the kids to play outside all day in the backyard. And when I would get bored I would snag a sofa cushion and strategically place it on the grass below the roof of the two story, climb the roof just crawling barely missing the electrical wires to the house then jump down onto the red velvet cushion, my mother would come out screaming in English and Spanish the only words I remember were


';God damn it!' in a slight yelling accent and ( I do not know how to speak Spanish or write it) ';Andale flegada!'; I would then jump then bolt to the back yard to avoid the hair pulling.
hahahah my dad is really country and he used to say all of those that you said, especially number 5 when i wouldnt do what i was told.





i dont think i will say ';because i said so';...i will at least try and give my children a reason, even if its just ';i really dont feel comfortable with you doing that';.





EDIT: im not mad at ANYTHING my parents ever said or did to me growing up, i was a BRAT and they were the best parents ever...they were just doing all they could to try and get me to listen.
Mine is *much* tamer than any of yours! :-D





One of the key ones was, ';You made your bed that way -- now you have to lie in it!';





Doesn't it ever occur to parents that people make their own beds not just once in a lifetime, but *every day?* If the kid (including grown kids!) makes the bed badly, so what? They sleep uncomfortably for a single night, then get up in the morning and re-make the bed better. So why do parents behave as if sleeping in a badly-made bed is such a lifetime punishment? It's an extremely silly analogy.
Did your parents really talk to you that way? That's horrible if they did. I've caught myself saying something to my daughter and I'll immediately think ';I've heard that before. I'm turning into my mom!'; One that sticks out in my mind is ';I'm going to record you so you can see how ugly you act!'; when she starts smarting off and back talking.
LOL..my dad must be related to your family!


my dad is an ex marine that was stationed on a naval aircraft carrier.. he is now a truck driver.. me and my brother joke about him cussing like a truck driving sailor! so yes i have heard the lines that you have posted once or twice.. here are some of my favorites that i will NEVER use..





1 are you f@%26amp;k'n retarded, or what?


2 me and you are about to go round and round


3 stop acting fat ( whatever thats supposed to imply)


4 i brought you in this world, i'll take you out


5 your getting ready to taste my boot


6 i'm going to see a man about a horse ( this is what he said when we asked where he was going)
yep my parents use those. im not gonna say them. of course they say 'because i said so'


and the 'i brought you into this world and i can take you out'


also 'ungrateful spoiled brat who doesnt give a damn about anyone except herself' (which is seriously the opposite)


'follower' (which i am absolutely completely not)


'b*tch' (not very often.....when my mom and i fight)


'___________do this________ or there will be hell to pay'


'unappreciateive rotten kid'


'can i borrow some money' (and if i do i will pay them back soon)


some of these arent exactly the 'parenting quotes..but im quoting them..


i will never say ';we do so much for you. we sacrifice so much and all you do is complain. you never say thank you. you are so selfish...bla blah blah.


mind you i say thahnk you every single night when i tell them goodnight and i do whatever they tell me but noooo its not good enough.


i will never ever say 'why do you always do things just because your friends do it. you are such a follower. do u want to be a failure when you get older?' sad thing is..they have no earthly clue of what my personality is like and they are always trashing what they think it is. and ughh... and then they go back after while and say sorry and that they didnt mean it.
Haha...My mother took every opportunity to use every holiday to point out that we were making her unhappy. For instance, if we were arguing on Christmas she would say ';Merry Christmas to me!!!!!'; or if it were her birthday, ';Well, happy birthday to me!!!!'; It would make us feel terribly guilty. Now that I have been a parent for over 20 years myself...I have NEVER used those words to my kids...lol. Mostly just because they make me feel ill. My sister and I will tease eachother still to this day about that. We will say that to each other and laugh about it.





I would NEVER, EVER tell my kids they were worthless...or use any kind of language with them that would scar their self esteem. Parents don't realize the impact their words have on a little person...many times permanent. My mom never said things like that to us. She would always just try to make us guilty. She would say we were going to give her an early death. If she had ever actually died young, can you imagine how we would have felt??
I can't say I would never say what my parents said. Although my parents didn't degrade me the way yours did to you. I always thought I wouldn't tell my kids ';maybe'; when I meant ';no';, but I have. I also thought I would never use ';because I said so'; but again, I've used it time and time again. Never say never is my theory.
Wow, um those are a pretty bad few things. I'm glad you won't say that to your kids.





I'll never say ';You did _____??!?!? What will people think of ME?';





When I was 15 I cut myself for the first time when a close relative passed away. My dad found out and said ';What will people think of me as a pastor knowing you did this!?'; Not exactly his shining moment and he has since apologized, but still it really hurt me.
Oh the one I alwys hated was the ';Think about all those starving children who would have been glad to eat that food....'; Ha Ha I'd never say that to my kids! It was just so annoying that they'd say that whenever you didn't want to eat your broccoli or something!





Also, I hated ';Because I said so.'; They couldn't just tell me to do something for no reason! Either give me a good reason, or I won't do it!!! He He :)
'; Can I borrow some money';


'; Do as I say not as I do';


'; do you have any money left?';


'; I thought you said I can borrow some money';


oh and my personal favorite that was screamed at me many times growing up





';If you had half a brain you'd let me manage your trust fund not your up tight Jehovah's Witness Aunt';





I had a small trust fund and i'm only allowed to use 1/2 the interest until i'm 45, but mother and her husband had crack problems, my aunt was super religious and too self righteous to steal so I appointed her to take care of it, not my mother's husband, this cause alot of problems for me as a kid.





I would NEVER EVER EVER borrow or steal money from my kid or any kid/person it's just wrong
My mom never cussed at us..don't get me wrong she cussed she just never cussed at us.


She always said because Im the mom thats why, becasue I said so and If you don't stop crying I'm going to give you something to cry about...funny thing is she rarely hit us..but we were always grounded:)


I tell my boys because I said so,but have yet to use ..give you something to cry about...She also said if all your friend jumped off a bridge would you?
first the line you quoted, should be, '; your *** is grass, and I am the lawn mower'; meaning if you do that again, I will hurt you...





my dad's favorite was 'do as I say, not as i do'...





so when I got the chance I shut him out of my life, that was 20 years ago, and he still thinks we're 'buddies'... LOL right.
Man, I used to hate when my mom said that I would end up like my father (divorced). And I hated it when she said ';because I said so'; and ';you live under my roof so you'll live by my rules'; and ';It's my way or the highway';. My mom also used to say that her mother was way more strict than she is. Huh....... good times good times.... not.
';I brought you into this world and I can take you out';, yeah, mothers' take on my existence. My step fathers thought on that question would be different, though. BOOM. BOOM. out go the lights. Good luck on your book report.
';You CAN be replaced'; until I was older, and then i said, ';not anymore I can't!'; after he was quite a lot older and my mother had gone through menopause LOL I NEVER tell my children they can be replaced. they can't
';you keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about'; never did...lol


';don't talk to me like I am one of your punk friends'; still makes me LOL


';don't embarrass me'; this was said EVERYTIME we left the house and I was a GOOD KID!
I brought you into this world, i can take you out.





When you turn 18, i'm going to kick you ***.





then all the ones that you said as well!
';you are just like your @#$%ing father'; were the tragic words my mum often used. Knowing how she felt about him, it wasn't very nice.
Why? Because I said so!!





Don't be in a hurry to grow up!





Eat your veggies so you grow up to be big and strong!!





Thanks to my BB's momma:





Do what I say,NOT as I do!!
My all time favorite with my step-dad to my brother after he broke a screen:





';I'll throw you like a rag doll out that window.';
';patience my son, you shall be rewarded'; moms fav every time i did something good
';because i said so';





hated it when my mother said that. definately will not use it with my own kids
My parents liked to ask insulting questions like ';how can you be so brain dead?';......HAHA jokes on them, now I really am kind of brain dead (puff puff pass).....
Use your head for something more than growing hair.
1. 'Because I said so';


2. ';if you live under my roof you obey my rules';
';Because I said so'; and ';Life isnt fair';
';quit whackin off!';
';I brought you into this world and I can take you out';
';jordy toothpaste is NOT food';
