My Momma Told Me...

Don't give anyone 100% of yourself.....and.....

Deny Deny Deny!!!;)

The only thing I can think of is "never be afraid to ask for help".

She meant never be afraid to ask HER for help, but I kinda broadened it.

That's good advice, especially the not giving 100% of yourself bit.

"dont let anyone step on you when they try and step on you you STOMP it right away!"

sounds better than it is written, with the accent and all

"do not talk to that boy, he is peanut head!"

Okay...We do this all the time...We tell people, "My mother always said..."...Or something similar to that.....So...I'm wondering...What is the ONE thing that your mother told you that meant the most to you, that you actually remembered, adhered to, paid attention to, considered, actually even utilized, and/or passed along to someone else?




My mother always told me..."Be yourself, no matter what...It doesn't matter what other people think...It only matters what you think about yourself..."

Of course NOW...Whenever I go anywhere with her (which is a VERY rare occurance)...She always says..."Will you please dress 'normal' today?":rolleyes:

So here's another question...Did she actually PRACTICE what she preached???

lol your mom and my mom must be the same perso. my mom also tells me to be me and to not care what others think but when i dress goth she says try not to dresss so weird.. i don't care what my folks think i do what i want

[last bad move]

"shut up mommys got a hang over"

no


my moms the nicest lady ever but really bad at giving advice

if i ever complained about washing dishes, my mother would say,

"Thank God for dirty dishes, they have a tale to tell. While others may go hungry, we're eating very well."

Okay, I've actually been thinking all day and I can't think of a damn thing she has told me to better me. But, she has led by example of what not to do. Unlike some kids, I wanted to be the least like her as possible. When she was my age, she had a 5 year old me, a 9 year old "stepson", an alcoholic boyfriend, worked full time at BK, and lived in her grandparents basement. When I was 10 she left her boyfriend, (my daddy) who she had been with since the ripe ol age of 13 to do it all by herself..not too much of a change considering my dad never hadda job or anything..But when she left him it caused him to go nuts, not pay any attention to my brother and I, which in turn I think is the reason why my brother has been in prison since he was 16, he is now 26. When I was about 11 or 12 I guess, she started doing some real fucked up shit, kinda trying to relive the childhood she lost I guess. She lost her job where she was making excellent money due to her "partying",Oh and of course having an affair with the DM didn't help any. I was alone all of the time, never saw or talked to the woman. When she was 35 she married a 22 year old she barely knew, who now keeps leaving her and coming back, and cheats constantly. They're supposed to be getting a divorce..the only good thing (great thing) that has come of this is my 5 year old baby brother. Her husband has caused her to go morbidly depressed, and now she's almost worse than she ever was.
So after seeing all of this, now I am almost 22, live on my own, make my own money, have had a steady job for 6 years, a car..ya know all the basic..no kids either. Yeah, I ain't doing great, but I'm a lot better person because of seeing the things she has done. I knew I never wanted to be like that. So yeah, I gotta love her for making me a better person by all of this. She has indirectly told me what to do(or not to do) with my life.
