Things my father would say if you were upset

[Lon]

"Don't Get Your Bowels In A Uproar"

Did your parents have an expression that you remember over others?

 

[Aunt Bea]

If you want something to cry about I'll give you something to cry about!

 

[Falcon]

MY Father never threatened me. He was the best father a person could have. Very patient with

my sister and me. + He was always able to provide us with everything we needed, and

SOMETIMES wanted. Sure miss him !

 

[Shalimar]

“Brag’s a good dog, but hang on’s better.”

That was my mom's favorite also.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

My Dad would rather cut off his own arm than even raise is voice to me.

 

[Aunt Bea]

That was my mom's favorite also.

We got a similar answer if we ever mentioned that we were bored or had nothing to do!!!

We learned quickly that becoming invisible and staying out of the way was our best defense!

All things considered, my parents did the best they could for us while dealing with their own problems and disappointments.

I didn't actually realize that until I became an adult and hit a few bumps in the road myself.

You are a very fortunate man Falcon.

Wow! I’m always amazed that there are fathers like this out there.

A common threat for many. Lol!

How about?
Shut up or I’ll give you a thick ear.

My mom's favorite, too!

It tied with "You're bored? Nothing to do? Well, I can remedy that!" That was a remedy you didn't want. Boredom was vastly preferable to what she had in mind.

I heard that one a lot.

Same with mine

now, Mom, she could yell
came from a clan of yellers
all ten brothers and sisters

her favorite;

'Don't make me come back there!!'

 

[JFBev]

"What are you going to to about it?"

Rats. . .that meant I had to find a solution to my own problem.

Next favorite: "The intellect rules"

My mother used to say that to me too sometimes, my father never threatened me or spanked me, my mom did all that, luckily not too often and never severe.

Sounds like a case of good cop bad cop, LOL!!!

I always feel bad when I hear a mom say, wait til your father gets home!

Poor dad!!!
