All parents use em... You know those worn out expressions... that we grow
up by.  How many times have you heard... because I said so. <g>

 

You should have that phone surgically implanted in your ear You're the oldest. You should know better. Your father is going to hear about this when HE gets home You'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to your shoulders You will ALWAYS be my baby You have an answer for everything, don't you? You made your bed, now lie in it You better wipe that smile off your face before I do it for you. When I was your age... Who said life was going to be easy? What did I say the FIRST time? Put that down! You don't know where it's been! I would have never talked to MY mother like that! I don't know is NOT an answer. Do you think I'm made of money? As long as you live under my roof, you'll do as I say. Did you clean your room? Do as I say, not as I do. Don't ask me WHY. The answer is NO. Don't go out with a wet head, you'll catch cold. Don't run in the house. Go ask your father Am I talking to a brick wall? Do you think this is a hotel? Don't make me get up Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's been. Don't you have anything better to do? Enough is enough! How many times do I have to tell you? Go to your room and think about what you did! I hope someday you have children just like you. I hope you don't kiss me with that mouth! Going to a party? Who's going to be there? If I want your opinion I'll ask for it! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I'll treat you like an adult when you start acting like one. I'm not going to ask you again. Life isn't fair. I'm not running a taxi service. I've had it up to here with you. You just ate an hour ago! Why? Because I SAID so, that's why! You didn't learn that in this house! Where do YOU think you're going? Who do you think you are? Watch your mouth! Someday your face will freeze like that What do you think, money grows on trees? Running away? Is that a threat or a promise? No child of MINE would do something like that. Is your homework finished? If I've told you once ... I've told you a thousand times. I didn't ask who put it there, I said "Pick it up!" Going to a party? Will the parents be home? I can always tell when you're lying.
