"Don't threaten. If you are going to do something, don't talk about it, just do it." - advise from my ex-husband
"COME to hell!" my Dad when he was especially mad about something or at somebody, said in place of "GO to hell!" |

An e-mail i got recently ,
Tough Love vs. Spanking (a psychological conundrum) Most of America 's populace think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of "those moments." One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique. Sincerely,

My mom always used to say "sorry Charlie"
God I hated that, however, I have caught myself saying it to my kids more than once. Another one of my mom's mom-isms was "because I said so". That is one that I happily use on my kids. |

"You're one in a million. And on any given day there are eight more just like you in Manhattan."
My friend Nick, whenever someone got to feeling too impressed with themselves.

Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one and all of them stink.
A schoolmate of mine used to say this.

Life is a shit sandwich. The more bread you have, the less shit you have to taste.
