What is the most annoying phrase your parents tell you or have told you as a kid???

Question

Mine is: You're under my roof so therefore you go under my rules.

Answer 1

Vas a ir a misa pa ke se te quite el diablo. lol

Answer 2

They ALWAYS used to sing "You can't always get what you want" by The Rolling Stones!

Silly parents...

Answer 3

"If your friends jumped off a bridge would you?"

Of course not. That'd be bad judgement. This is just peer pressure.

Answer 4

"no" thats a phrase i heard way too often

Answer 5

because i said so! that was the worst.

Answer 6

Mine is the same as Supplythemedicine-

My dad use to say this every time I would complain about walking to school in the rain.

When I was your age I had to walk in the snow to school for (some obscene number of miles that I know is not true)...

Or

When my brother and I would get in a fight, my parents would say "Don't make me call santa claus and tell him not stop by our house this year."

One more they use to say: Whenever I would ask them where they were going they would always say "I'm going to see a man about a horse". That would drive me insane because I wanted to know where they were going lol.

Answer 7

How's it feel to want....

Answer 8

"This hurts me more than it does you" just before I got a beating.

Answer 9

When I was a kid I was one who was having a crappy time of high school, ie: not one of the popular ones, so pretty ostracized. Also my family was very strict so I didn't get to do many activities that I would have liked, and I got very long, severe punishments at the drop of a hat. If I ever complained, they would say something like, "This is the best time of your life, because later on you will have to pay bills."

WHAT???!!! How is a couple bills--when I will have a job--so much worse than this c**p?!

Answer 10

"Think positively"  While that phrase is true, it's also overrated, and gets your hopes up too high sometimes.  Since it's so overused, it's very annoying.

Answer 11

ive walked 30 miles through rain and snow to get to school.

seriously now.

no you didnt.

stop.

Answer 13

Eat your dinner.  There are children starving in Armenia(or whatever country it's happening in at the moment.)

They'd love to have your food.  And when I tried to tell her to send my dinner to them, she'd get mad at me for sassing her.

Answer 14

''as long as you live under my roof,you will follow my rules''

Answer 15

...because I said so

Answer 16

why can't you be like him (their friend's kid)?

Answer 17

"Don't be afraid to hear the same thing twice", which was kind of ironic since they said it so much!

Answer 18

"I don't care when you're eighteen. As long as you're living under my roof and eating my food, you will keep to my rules."

And then when I talk about getting an apartment they freak out.

I wonder why I want to get an apartment mom and dad. =_=

Answer 19

eat your dinner.  There are kids in china starving.  I wanted to dig a whole and send them my food.
