WTFlashback? Do you think money grow on trees?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If I had a penny dollar(inflation) for every time my mother said this to me….I wouldn’t have to go to her for money. Being a mom now, I can relate to what my mother was saying. What did your parent say to you when you were a child, that you can relate to now being a parent/adult?

It is so scary that I say this all the time. I have become my parents!

The whole ‘talking back’ thing. I remember not understanding at all what she meant about talking back….but I was just answering the question?? NOW I totally get it, but my kids don’t.

I had no idea until I had my kids just how annoying whining can be… I so did not get that when I was a whiny kid myself!!

I remember them saying things like “because I said so.” I thought they were ridiculous, but it’s necessary to just set rules because we say so. Thanks mom and dad.

So many things! I can remember being mad at them for something and them saying they were doing it for my own good and that one day when I had kids, I’d understand. Now, I understand!

I know when I’ve had enough of their bickering that I’ll call Craig down to yell at them. And I remember my mom telling us, “Wait until yoru father gets home!”

BTW, the King Zhu came today! THANKS!

I think that is the third phrase in the parenting handbook after, “there are starving children in Africa so clean that plate” and “life isn’t fair”

My Mom said the same thing. Though, she always had a different version. My Dad though, didn’t mind giving me a cent every time I said – “The Aliens at our Backyard require a cent immediately!”

Ha ha! My dad used to say the same thing about money growing on trees. He’d also throw in a “We don’t own the electric company, so turn off the lights when you leave a room!” And my personal favorite that I find myself repeating to my kids, “Life’s not fair. Never will be.”
