Tips my mother gave me.....

[Kekka]

Has this been done previously?

What tip/s did your mother give you that you actually took notice of? :D

Can be any little gem, any topic.

[Mad Old Cow]

practically everything i do in life, from cooking ironing how to treat cuts & illnesses to even yelling at the kids

[La Toriana]

never knew my mother

would have loved to have one....

even now at 40 odd years and with a daughter who has started asking..."where is your mum?
"

missed out a lot I think... in many ways

not in some I spose.....

[Di Nana]

Never trust a man wearing a hat especially when driving a car , or men with short stubby fingers

[mummyof3babes]

ummm not sure... mum always taught me the practicle things in life, how to run the home, correct speech, manners etc... but something that I actually took notice of and use in todays world, ummm..... maybe, pretty much just what goes around, comes around. Treat people the way they treat you/people will treat you the way you treat them. :yes:

[miss kiki]

hmm..my mom taught me manners, treat others the way i want to be treated..tips on cleaning, cooking, etc. being generous and kind towards others, one hand washes the other type thing, etc.

[Kekka]

Always clean inside your ears before you go to the hairdresser. :D

[Rachel]

Gee.. a lot! Probably most things I do in my life!

[Kekka]

Eating your crusts will make your hair curl....well I obviously ate the lot 'cause I've a shock of curly/fuzzy hair! :(

[Rachel]

It must only work on some people Kekka! I love crusts and my hair is dead straight!! :P

[Kekka]

I hate you....I'm so jealous!!! (joke...I would love straight hair). :D One always wants what one doesn't have.

[Rachel]

I used to want curly hair but then I saw the hell my neice has to go through every day to have her hair looking tame.. (and she is only 4! LMAO ) My hair is that straight one of my friends asked if I straighten it every day because it always looks dead straight! but I just brush it and I'm off- so much easier!

[miss kiki]

i have a bit of both, so that's good! :hehe:

[lisa2]

My mum always said to never drink on an empty stomach...:hehe: No, thats not it, I learned nearly everything from her, some things are just coming to me now, at my age! She taught me how to be 'ladylike' and mostly I am0:) Just so many things that dont occur to me, I just do it. One thing I did learn was how to makes 'ends meet'. She used to sit with her friend discussing this and I asked her 'how do you make ends meat?' I thought it was a beef dish..its been a laughing point for years...:>:

That's HILARIOUS. Did she ever say WHY?

LMAO

[mel35]

I've heard of "don't trust a man with short stubby fingers" before lots of times, it probably comes from years ago when thieves had their fingers chopped off.

[ezmay]

Probably most things i do in my life my mum taught me and i just do them instictivly.
2 bits of advice that stick out are
1) Never assume anyone else will do the right thing. ( when i was learning to drive but it works in everyday life to)

2) Dont worry if you are a perfect parent because [DS] will never know if you forgot to do something. As long as he has a full tummy and a clean bum he is happy (shortly after i gave birth and was a bit stressed about everything)

[Heather]

I don't think I ever really took in anything my Mother told me....certainly can't remembeer anything.
Now my Nana was different.
Always wear clean underwear....you never know if you have to go to hospital.

[dragonfly97]

very true never know when you might have to go to the hospital

[ode]

My mum taught me to be happy for happy people and sad if someone is sad.
