Sensible parental advice..

[richardfm]

Opposite for us. My parents advised my now wife against marrying me.
54 years later and still going strong.

My future mother-in-law said "you're not going to marry him are you?" when we had only been together a few months. My then girlfriend replied "of course not". We married four years later and have been married 36 years in August.

My parents told me never to exchange messages with @Mad Doug Biker ……. If only I had listened.

DUUN DUUN DUUUNNNN!

Stop picking your nose or you'll get flared nostrils. But at least they'd match my pants.

Oh.. and when entertaining toddlers by making a popping sound with my finger in my cheek "Don't do that or you'll rip your face open!"

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Don't eat the seed of an apple. A tree will grow inside you.

Ok, so it may happen, very, very, very rarely, but with apples, I am more likely to get a small dose of cyanide!

WTF?

 

[MontyVeda]

WTF?

my dad had some corkers!

Licking jam or butter off a knife... "Don't do that or you'll cut your tongue!" ...but it's a butter knife!

Being the youngest, I got hand - me - down everything, including pants, so the clean underpant thing was clearly a lost cause with me as I cut about in my years old briefs! 😄

"Eat your crusts" it will give you Curley hair.

"Eat Your Fish" it will give you Brains.

Sheer Nonsense.

Sheer Nonsense.

Or as my Grandpa used to joke

'Eat your crusts, it'll give you straight hair and curly teeth'

I got the usual stand up to bullies…my brother was a bully, as a result I popped his nose a few times…then he wiped the floor with me.
Also my mum was convinced going for a “good poo” solved every ailment.
Her indoors mum thinks sudocrem solves everything also. 🫣

I used to get warned of that too but in my case I was told that they would be a large as the Wicker Arches, as she came from Sheffield.

My Mum's main answers to most things were

'Have you eaten anything?'

Or

"Have you been outside and got fresh air? Go for a walk".

Me: "Aaaarrrggghh! My leg is hanging on by a thread!"

Mum: "But have you eaten anything?"

😄

I assume like me you weren’t the first child…as the 4th kid I was left to my own devices.😝
