Top 15 "Mommy Warning" Sayings

My mothers favorite saying "I'm going to sell you for a bottle of wine"

When I hit the teenage years and had to be put in my place, my dad would always say, "This house is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship." May seem harsh, but at least it prevented me from talking back a lot.

"Do it again and see what happens."

Don't make me stop this car!

"Do you want something to cry about?!"....but only when the crying is unjustified in my eyes and has been going on for over 15 minutes. OR somtimes I'll use "You're cruisin' for a brusin' kid!"

keep crying and i'm gonna give you something to cry about

I have a 4 year old, and I tell her 'If you don't stop, you will be in BIG TROUBLE!' Up to now, she's always stopped, but I do dread the day when I actually have to figure out what 'big trouble' will be, lol!

Oh yes, and then there's counting. ONE....TWO...Th..I've never gotten to three, but the day is coming.

don't make me come over there!!

I only had to count sternly...1..... 2...... I've never made it to 3, but my 11 year old finally asked me the other day, "Mom, what happens if you DO get to 3?" lol A question for the ages.

Let's not forget being called by your first and middle name (usually through clenched teeth) which always got MY attention... And "I'm gonna knock you into the middle of next week"

What part of NO do you not understand? The N or the O?

My folks said, "We're gonna give you back to the Indians." So is it any wonder that when we visited the Cherokee village in the mountains that I wouldn't get anywhere near the "chief" to have my picture taken.

Whenever my sisters and I argued or fought, my father threatened to tie our braids together.

I (and my husband) wondered and discussed that in our son's early life. Then a time went by nad he never became troublesome we wondered how much more difficult it was going to become to discipline him when those times came. He is a teen ager now and we are wtill waiting for him to be troublesome. He just ....isn't. It is probably because we both treat him as we want to be treated, and almost like a grown up mature person. I wonder if it would be different if he were not an only child?

"Keep it up and your bottom will be so sore that you won't be able to sit for a week!" Always works and I've never had to do it!

I don't care who started it, I"m stopping it....

here's my Mommy warning.. "don't MAKE me put on my ugly face!" and I actually got that from one of my son's first school teachers on one of the first days of school. that's a great one!!

My mom said, "You just wait, you'll get back ten times the trouble you cause back when you have kids!!" My now grown son says to me,"why did you curse me with that!?? LOL!!!!!!!!!!

"I'll knock you half way through next week." A regular from my mom that I now use consistently.

This hurts me more than it hurts you
