How many of these did your mum used to say to you?

She still does lol

Hmmmm. Being American, I’ve only heard a couple of these from Mom

Eating crust will make your hair curly

And

Wait til your father gets home!!!

It is a bit different for Americans but almost all your sayings have a reasonable approximation in our version of English!

Some are translatable. I will try to paraphrase the one's I understand. Another edit on the way!

The reference to Blackpool illuminations is a reference to there being too many lights left on in a room. They hold a festival of lights in Blackpool!

American moms would likely say "No dessert until you have eaten your dinner." and to suggest that you say "Excuse me, I couldn't hear you." or something along that line instead of "What?"

So this is an international moms/mums thing?

I got 20 and more but none of that

every single 1

Most of them !!!

One. She used to say not to sit so close to the TV. That's it.

Most! My mother was more refined than "shit & sugar" - she'd just say "S & S" 😂

British and American words sometimes have different cadences.

Every one of them😂
And i don’t have curly hair!

About 15 plus don't forget.... "no don't use the good scissors"
apparently there were bad scissors lurking around somewhere which i could never find 🤔

This must be British as I have heard very very few of these.

If we didn't finish our meal, my mom would say, "There are kids starving in China".

Yes, all these. Another was "because Y is crooked"

Pretty much all...except the dad stuff...

...and I said some of them to my own daughters!

😱😱

One

none

The one that made me laugh, in later life: "I'll make you smile out of the other side of your face!" when you're in the shit, but grinning nervously!🤣

Eat your crust or you'll get curl hair? WTF

15 out of 20 but I'm sure her Jamaican ones were of a similar nature

I heard ALL of those from my mum.
I wanted to kill her. 😤

Most of them my dad would say

ALL of them sound familiar to me x

Back in my day
Ask your dad
Because I said so
I’ve told you a thousand times

Only 19 ...

3.

All of them!
