    What cliches did/are you NEVER going to use on your kids when/if you have them?


    First of all I think we can all agree on the starving people in China story when they won't eat, that makes no sense whatsoever.

    My daughters are not going to be told 'that's not ladylike', who the hell cares about what's ladylike?

    That's all I got so far, anybody else got something to add?

    Starving ppl pretty much moved from China to Africa in my lifetime with a layover in Bangladesh.

    "Lady like?" Ha, that pretty much died out in my lifetime too when 'ladies' started smoking, drinking in pickup bars, getting tattoos, riding motorcycles, fuckin' telling-it-like-it-is and taking guys to bed. That works for me. cool dance

    IDK any old saws that I would never use. Just the one that I do use 'challenge authority' and 'if it feels good do it.'

    "I did the same thing when I was a kid." No way in the name of Hell! I viewed that as a new argument for, "Well, YOU did it!" and was not about to wrestle with that bullshit. And it was more fun to watch her squirm because I figured things out so well.

    My over weight son-in-law once said "My mother told me to think about the starving Biafrians so I ate them too".

    "Be realistic" or something else that'll squash his/her dreams.

    I'm also going to refrain from being too nit-picky or joking about what he/she is wearing. I was a self-conscious kid and once in 7th grade for a school trip I wore a dress and really cute open-toe wedges--a far cry from my normal baggy jeans and Timbs. All I remember about that day is getting in the car and my momma saying, "Look at that big toe!" I didn't wear open-toe shoes again until 12th grade. She could never say, "you look nice"....there always had to be something picked on before a compliment could be thrown in. That shyt is damaging!

    IDK how it is today with kids from the midwest, but in my day, (crew cut unless you were a JD with a DA) everyone was clean shaven. Some men had mustaches but that was it. My hero uncle had a mustache and in my mid teens when mine started to grow I was quite proud of it, even if it was like peach fuzz.

    My mom made me shave it off. Mom's could do that back then and would. Guess she wanted her little baby or something.

    Anyhow I am beyond having kids but I would suggest to others that you NEVER tell your teen son to shave if he is proud of his new sprouting manhood. The word is EMASCULATE, and I was so pissed at my mother and so angry that I was in the bathroom with my single edge razor in hand contemplating slicing my wrists. Teens do that stupid stuff sometimes. I didn't. Just let the resentment seethe. May have been one of those life moments that shaped my dissident nature and sense of injustice.

    Black families now seem more comfortable with teen facial hair. When my grandson started sprouting chin whiskers at about 17 no one made an issue about (except me who thot it looked nice - a rite of passage so to speak)

    I always swore to myself I would never say, "Wait till your dad gets home..."

    I despised hearing a friend say that to her son all the time. My opinion was, "Deal with it your damn self." But I have to confess, I have broken that out a time or two.
