10 Top Sayings Only Moms Can Pull Off

These mom sayings will take you back to your childhood!

Are you a parent or you remember yourself being a child? If so, you must be familiar with the classic mom sayings that are repeated over and over again throughout the years. These phrases are meant to guide, teach, and sometimes scold children, but they also carry messages of love and protection that only a parent can provide.

In a recent video on our YouTube channel "English Phrase Collection", we took a moment to reflect on some of these timeless mom sayings and the memories they evoke. From funny to serious, these sayings have stood the test of time and are still being used by parents everywhere.

"Money doesn’t grow on trees" is a classic mom saying that reminds children that money is not infinite and that they cannot have everything they want. It's a way of teaching them the value of money and the importance of budgeting and saving.

"As long as you live under my roof, you’ll live by my rules" is a way for parents to establish boundaries and expectations for their children. It's a reminder that while children may grow up and become independent, they still need to respect their parents' rules and authority while they are living under their roof.

"Stop crying before I give you something to cry about" is a way for parents to express their frustration and annoyance when their children cry over trivial things. It's a way of teaching them to toughen up and not to sweat the small stuff.

"If you want to act like a child, I’ll treat you like one" is a way of reminding children to act their age and take responsibility for their actions. It's a way of teaching them to grow up and be independent, but also to respect their parents' authority and guidance.

"I’m not asking you, I’m telling you" is a way for parents to establish their authority and make it clear that their instructions are not negotiable. It's a way of teaching children to follow rules and respect authority, even if they don't always agree with it.

"Over my dead body!" is a way of expressing strong opposition and resistance to something. It's a way of making it clear that certain things are simply not acceptable or negotiable, no matter how hard someone may try to persuade you.

"You’re not going out like that, go put some clothes on!" is a way of reminding children to dress appropriately and modestly in public. It's a way of teaching them to respect social norms and conventions, even if they may not always agree with them.

"I don’t care who started it" is a way of expressing frustration and exhaustion with conflicts and disputes between siblings or friends. It's a way of teaching children to resolve conflicts peacefully and move on, rather than getting stuck in a cycle of blame and resentment.

"One day you’ll laugh about this" is a way of offering hope and perspective in difficult situations. It's a way of teaching children to see the bigger picture and not to get too hung up on minor setbacks or challenges.

And lastly, the best mom saying of them all, "I'll love you always". 

No matter how many times a parent may have to use these other sayings to guide their children, their love for them remains constant. It is a love that never fades, never diminishes, and never wavers. As a parent, they will smother their children with love for the rest of their years, so much so that their children might beg for breathing room. But in the end, that love is what makes all the other mom sayings worth repeating.
