What is the worst advice your mother gave you?

What is the worst advice from your own mother you've received?What is the worst advice your mother gave you?
My mother wasn't very open about sex, infact, my birds and the bees talk consisted of ';you know how babies are made don't you? He puts his ';thing'; in her ';thing';,'; - and there you have it - sex education in a nutshell. Marvellous!What is the worst advice your mother gave you?
I agree with Blue Eyes. My mother used to tell me to walk away and I grew up avoiding conflict at all costs and never learned how to stand up for myself. It affects me to this day but has gotten a lot better because I joined the military and gained a lot of confidence in myself and my own abilities.
I don't know where to start..





(This isn't the bad advice, just to the other answers) I always had the advice if someone punch me, to fight back. Later if someone is about to hit you, you swing first.





I don't know where to start though, parents usually don't give to much ';good advice';.
Honestly its how to discipline. Disciplining techniques vary a little or a lot from person to person. How she would discipline my daughter, I NEVER would. I know spanking was ok back in the day but I will not hit my kid, I use the time out strategy and that works for me. This and other minial discipling techniques that I just dont like. And it gets on my nerves when she tells me how the food I feed her is soooo bad compared to her ';from scratch'; homemade cooking. All I can say is whatever. She had her chance to be a parent, now it's mine.
';He's much to little to be drinking out of a sippy cup'; My son at 5 months who was breast fed, she gave him a bottle behind my back. He got so hooked I finally let him cry it out at 28 months.
I honestly can't think of any at the moment. My mom gives awesome advice. I'm still a teen, but even when I'm a parent I don't think she'll second guess me or give me bad advice. She's great.
well once in highschool I had a boyfriend hit me so I told her I was going to dump him and she told me ';you'll regret that';
Stay away from sex and drugs.
Take the Bears and the points. Lost big on that one. Thanks mom!
'when some one starts a fight with you, walk away'
blue eyes got it right on!


That is what my mom would tell me, but it never taught me to stand up for myself.
