My mom uses the same phrases everytime i get in trouble or whatever does any one elses moms do this or am i the only one?

The phrase i hate the most is....
I think that you think....


It doesn't even make sense

Mom [Omg your just like your dad] or when we go shopping i just want to go home, but she likes to walk for no reason so i put on a boring face and well her thing is [your so spolied and she tells her all her friends when i get my way i act like that]..its so annoying that she tells all her friends about me

My parents don't use repetitive phrases. My mom is pretty nice and lenient, although she makes sure my grades are high, and my dad just give me literally hour-long lectures. I think he likes lecturing people. He used to be a college professor at Columbia University...[/bragging]


Anyway, it's mostly my nagging grandmother who uses repetitive phrases (in Chinese.) But I love her anyway. Although sometimes I hate her.


"Clean your room! It's so messy!"
"Take a shower!"
"Why can't you be like _____"
"Your grades are dropping"
"You're never getting into an Ivy League school. You're too lazy."
"Look, today I mopped the floor. Your mother should be grateful that I'm helping her."

"Jane did you do your homework?"

"I'm already set for today, the booklet left is for tomorow."

"Hmm...alrighty then, you should really learn how to cook, in Thailand children that are 6 already cook for their siblings "

"If everyone jumps off a bridge are you going to do it to?!"-Mom
"I'm watching you, why are you lying to me?, look at me I'm watching you"-Dad, when we are talking on the phone.

"when i was your age, _______ "
"how many times do i have to repeat myself?!?"
"i am way too easy on you"
"why cant you be more like ____"

eh. she also always asks "how was school?" after EVERY damn day of school for the past 4 years and i've never said anything other than "fine" or "OK". blah. how annoying.

thanks for giving me an excuse to complain.

"What did you say? Stupid!? I don't ever want to hear that word come out of your mouth ever again. Stupid! I should slap you for that."


I can sing all the curse words I know in front of her face and she won't do a damn thing. Once ANYBODY says "Stupid" All hell breaks loose.

thats just like my mom. also, she gives out long boring lectures during dinner and everyone has to listen to her. she keeps on saying how different she was from me when she was my age. gosh, the world changes

Why are you so messy? are you even a girl? i wonder what your future husband will think of you!

heres another one:

what are you going to do about it?
[about cleaning my room]

When I get in trouble she always says my first and middle name, 'Kristin Nicole!'. my mom doesn't really have any repetitive phrases. My grandma does.
"You should really eat more health foods."
"I like it when you were dresses and skirts, you look more like a girl."
"Why can't you be more feminine?"
"why don't you do any sports?"
"You should become a swimmer like your dad."
"Keep your grades up or you will never get into college."
"You should cut your hair."
"Why did you dye your hair? You ruin your hair every time you dye it."
"Wear less eyeliner."

I have more but I think that is enough.

You gonna miss the water when the well runs dry

two wrongs don't make a right

"YOUR PANTS ARE TOO TIGHT."
"YOUR SHIRT IS TOO SHORT."
etc etc

that happens a lot. i'm sorry i'm not a guy mom that wears XXXXL.

My mom has a shitload of phrases she has been saying since i was about 5.

"Alright kiddos, stop! You give me headache".
Funny thing is, she says this even when we aren't doing anything.

"(to other adult in room) doesn't it make you want to have 12 more?"
Yeah, that got old after about three times.

"I just did (insert something lame here). All that for you, you unnappriacitive person. I must love you, huh? Now go mop the floors, kiddo"

"we are family. you must tell me EVERYTHING"

um......NO

"you did ______??? I shouldn't have bought you that shirt yesterday!"
uh...yeah...whatever.

"stop treating yourself like trash!" (when my room's a mess.)

"It costs $_____ to do _______ and plus I'm spending my effort. Why can't you be grateful???"

"When I was 6, I was doing __________."

"Look at ______, why can't you be more like him? (or her?)"

"your grandmother was way harder on me!!!"

"I never got in trouble with my parents. They only yelled at me because I studied too hard!"
...right...


My mommy is a very repitive person. Whenever she starts lecturing me...I can just predict exactly what she's going to say.

well my mom doesnt use phrases thank god! but she always goes off onto these long talks about things and is always CONSTANTLY ON MY CASE about school work and about friends and about my dreams which she always wants to shatter..she wants me to be a lawyer and i said HELL NO (okay i didnt say the hell part but i was thinking it) and she said why? because its not something i;ll enjoy doing everyday! happiness is more important then money and she says no it isnt.. happiness IS money..would u rather be living poor? (rather unmomlike huh?) and i said well i still dont want to be alawyer.. and she says why do u hate it so much? u hate it just because u tell urself that if u told urself that u liked it then it would become easier.. it would become ur new dream job. SHE JUST DOESNT GET IT DOES SHE? AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY TO EXPLAIN SHE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND..HOW FRUSTRATING

[I've just gotten home from school, I'm in my room, and she walks into the house.]

Mom: ARIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!!!!!!
Me: What?
Mom: ARIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
Me: WHAT!!
Mom: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Me: WHAT!?!?!??!?!
Mom: HIIIIIIIII!!!
Me:

"This is for your own good."

"I don't know how you're a girl, you're so dirty and messy!"

"Don't complain, when I was 10 I was working in the shop, I had to carry a huge bag of stuff all the way to Causeway Bay!!!!!"

She likes to ramble on about her mom, too, and how unfair she was to her. It annoys the hell out of me.

I have to ask your father.
Or.
Go ask your father.

my mom says things like that to me too

"Why do you come home so late? It's 8:30, girls don't stay out so late!"

"Why is your skirt so short?"

"How much do you weigh? HA I knew that you weighed more than me!" [i weigh 5 pounds more than her and she's like 105 or something, i've been obsessed with my weight since i was younger when i was chubby and she kept saying i was like an elephant...]

"Why are you doing so bad in school? Girls are supposed to have straight A's, especially CHINESE GIRLS! What the f*ck are you studying in school, sh*t filled diapers?!

Don't you know what people will say about you? How do you think that you doing bad in school makes ME look??"

the first one isn't so bad but that's the one she says most, she hasn't said the last one since like a few weeks ago.

"Back in the old country......."

"Look at you compared to my friends sons and daughters. they're getting good grades, why aren't you!"

"You don't cook or clean. Who would want you when you grow up"

BECAUSE I SAID SO!

I don't usually get in trouble with my mum and never did, possibly because I didn't do many stupid things.
But her most irritating phrase would have to be... 'Are you sure you need it?'

'we'll see'
hate it when she uses that on me

"Why can't you be more like *insert name*? Instead of doing nothing all day, do something productive"

"You're too lazy to become anything good in the future"

"Go ask your Dad for money"<--------HATE THAT ONE SO MUCH

"having a piece of meat is way more useful than having you for a kid"

"You're hiding something...I know it"

"You just don't think do you?"
